Tailings pond is a place for storing tailings or other industrial waste residues discharged from metal nonmetal mines after ore separation. The material will be into the stockpiling sorting and processing. hard to consolidate under natural conditions as result of high water content, resulting in certain safety risk pond. In this paper, tailing soil Huangshi City, Hubei Province studied triaxial...

Emissions of organic substances with potential toxicity to humans and the environment are a major concern surrounding the rapid industrial development in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR). Although concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in some environmental samples have been reported, a comprehensive picture of organic contaminant sources, pathways, and sinks within the ...

An appropriate sampling method that provides for the representation of the collected material and the reliability of results plays a crucial role in environmental monitoring. This is especially important in soil quality investigations on sites with a differentiated surface microrelief, as in the case of afforested post-arable soils that have a specific, deep furrow-and-ridge microrelief. The pr...

Naphthenic acids are the most significant environmental contaminants resulting from petroleum extraction from oil sands deposits. In this study, a mixture of naphthenic acids isolated from Athabasca oil sands (AOS) tailings pond water was used in acute and subchronic toxicity tests with rodents, in order to assess potential risks posed to terrestrial wildlife. Dosages were chosen to bracket wor...

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tilt photography technology has gradually become a new technical means of disaster risk identification. This combines UAVs, satellite remote sensing, and ground online monitoring systems to establish an integrated space–sky–Earth system that can be used for tailings pond With the use this visual interpretation, water body identification, data analysis, multiple typ...

Deep sea mining tailings disposal is a new environmental challenge related to water pollution, mineral crust waste handling, and ocean biology. The objective of this paper is to propose a new tailings disposal procedure for the deep sea mining industry. Through comparisons of the tailings disposal methods which exist in on-land mining and the coastal mining fields, a new tailings disposal proce...

The mining industry is of major importance to Morocco’s economy. However, the abandoned pyritic mines are a source potentially toxic elements that can cause disruption surrounding ecosystems, constituting huge threat wellbeing and human health. present study aimed analyze physical chemical characteristics different types tailings investigate microbial populations acidophilic bacteria involved i...
