Arsenic Retention on Technosols Prepared with Nanoparticles and Ferric Soil from Mine Drainage Water

Mining activities generate a large amount of solid waste and acid drains that contain heavy metals in high concentrations. In wastewater of gold mines from Southern Ecuador (Portovelo), arsenic concentrations between 4.8 and 27.5 μg/L have been detected. In this context, the objective of this study...
