Acid Neutralization by Mining Waste Dissolution under Conditions Relevant for Agricultural Applications

The acidification of agricultural soils in high rainfall regions is usually countered by the application of finely ground calcite or dolomite. As this carbonate dissolves, soil pH is raised, but CO2 is released. Mining activities often produce large quantities of very fine silicate rock-derived powd...
