Tailings dust characterization and impacts on surface water chemistry at an abandoned Zn-Pb-Cu-Au-Ag deposit

Amy E. Cleaver et al.

Summary: This research investigates the geochemical effects of tailings dust on surface waters near Stirling mine, Nova Scotia, and identifies the potential of tailings dust as a source of metals in surface waters. Results show metal leaching from metal-hosting mineral phases at near neutral pH conditions, indicating the importance of understanding interactions between dust and water in the context of climate change.

Systematic characterization of historical tailings for possible remediation and recovery of critical metals and minerals-The Yxsjoberg case

Jane Mulenshi et al.

Summary: With increasing environmental concerns in mining and demand for critical metals and minerals, historical tailings have become a focus of research. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for generating and structuring relevant information about historical tailings. A case study in Sweden demonstrates the application of this framework for analysis and research.

Ecological risk assessment of trace metals in soils affected by mine tailings

Andressa Cristhy Buch et al.

Summary: An ecological risk assessment was conducted in 18 areas affected by a major mining dam collapse in southeastern Brazil, revealing that the contaminated soils exceeded regional reference values for soil quality and posed potential ecological and human health risks due to high metal levels. Ecotoxicological assays indicated significant toxicity towards soil dwellers, providing valuable information for prioritizing areas for remediation and monitoring strategies.

Mine tailings-based geopolymers: Properties, applications and industrial prospects

R. S. Krishna et al.

Summary: The use of mine tailings as precursors of geopolymers shows promising potential for sustainable utilization and environmental benefits. However, due to the complex composition of mine tailings, further research is needed to better understand the geopolymerization process and the influence of various factors on the properties of mine tailings-based geopolymers.

Sustainable eco-friendly bricks from slate tailings through geopolymerization: synthesis and characterization analysis

Xin Kang et al.

Summary: The study investigates the production of eco-friendly building materials using slate tailings through geopolymerization, with the addition of fly ash and metakaolin to improve quality. Different ST contents, alkaline activator ratios, and curing times have significant effects on the compressive strength, density, and water absorption rate of the geopolymer brick. Optimum conditions for the brick samples are identified, meeting the Chinese Non-sintered Waste Tailing Brick Standard.
