Mining activities changes the natural geochemical cycle of potentially toxic metals, often culminating in environmental liabilities associated with the intense contamination by these metals. From this perspective, an alternative is the disposal of mining waste, which still contains considerable concentrations of the interest metals in an encapsulated form through the sealant and cover bar…
In nature, most of the time, the geochemical cycles of potentially toxic metals are altered by human activities. The mining, for example, exponentially enhances the release of these metals contained in these minerals in the rocks, which, under natural conditions, occur slowly, mainly because of the resulting reactions of weathering and erosion. Once in the environment, such metals tend to…
The Ribeira Valley region was the scene of intense mining activity, nine mines have been exploited, whose main focus of interest was to obtain Pb, alternatively, Ag and Zn. Mining waste (enriched in As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, and Zn) was deposited in the form of pile directly on the ground without any prior treatment for about 4 years (1991-1995). In this context, this project aims to characteri…
Mining can drastically modify the potentially toxic metals natural geochemical cycle, leading to intense contamination by such elements. Therefore, an alternative is the use of so-called reactive materials, which stand out for their recognized metallic contaminants capacity retention. They can be used both in the construction of sealant and roofing barriers, as well as in amendments in so…
