Mining often results in the contamination of groundwater by metal, sulphate and radionuclide ions following their percolation from tailings impoundments. This chapter discusses the processes by which elements within tailings are transformed and translocated to groundwater and the role of aquifer characteristics and colloids in these processes. The prevention and remediation of contaminated grou...

Due to a lack of data and practical models, few studies have extracted tailings pond margins in large areas. In addition, there is no public dataset ponds available for relevant research. This study proposed new deep learning-based framework extracting from high spatial resolution (HSR) remote sensing images by combining You Only Look Once (YOLO) v4 the random forest algorithm. At same time, we...

Based on a “filter press backwash–chemical precipitation–gaseous membrane absorption” process, treatment of harmless cyanide tailings was conducted using from gold smelting enterprises (Yunnan Province, China) as the research object. The effects air-drying time, backwash water parameters, initial pH acidification, NaHS dosage, cyanide-containing flow rate, and gaseous stages process were invest...

Mine tailings from copper mines are considered as one of the sources of highly hazardous acid mine drainage (AMD) due to bio-oxidation of its sulfidic constituents. This study was designed to understand microbial community composition and potential for acid generation using samples from mine tailings of Malanjkhand copper project (MCP), India through 16S rRNA gene based amplicon sequencing appr...

In the process of extracting tailings ponds from large scene remote sensing images, semantic segmentation models usually perform calculations on all small-size images segmented by sliding window method. However, some these do not have ponds, and their only affect model accuracy, but also speed. For this problem, we proposed a fast pond extraction method (Scene-Classification-Sematic-Segmentatio...
