Acid neutralization mechanisms and metal release in mine tailings : a laboratory column experiment / Jasna Jurjovec, Carol J. Ptacek and David W. Blowes.En13-5/01-201E-PDF

"Mining and milling of base metal ore deposits can result in the release of metals to the environment. When sulfide minerals contained in mine tailings are exposed to oxygen and water, they oxidize and dissolve. Two principal antagonistic geochemical processes affect the migration of dissolved metals in tailings impoundments; sulfide oxidation and acid neutralization. This study focuses on acid neutralization reactions occurring in the saturated zone of tailings impoundments"--Abstract.
