Weathering and microbial activity in sulfidic mine tailings with implications in reclamation

The oxidation of sulfidic mine tailings and subsequent acid and salt accumulation results in acid drainage and poses a severe reclamation problem. The objectives of this study were to quantify the processes leading to these problems and propose feasible solutions. Characterization of 120 sulfidic s...
