Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfide oxidation and distribution of metals near abandoned copper mines in coastal environments, Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA
TL;DR: In this paper, sulfide, water, sediment, precipitate and biological samples from the Beatson, Ellamar, and Threeman mine sites were analyzed and it was shown that acidic surface waters generated from sulfide weathering are pathways for redistribution of environmentally important elements into and beyond the intertidal zone at each site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of selenium release in mine waste from the Meade Peak Phosphatic Shale, Phosphoria Formation, Wooley Valley, Idaho, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a first order reaction with a rate constant of 1.35e−3h −1 (11.8-55.6 ǫ ) to calculate the net, overall Se release from all of the possible sources of Se listed above, and showed that oxidation of Se(0) may control steady-state Se concentration in water draining the Wooley Valley waste dump.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing activated alumina with indigenous laterite and bauxite as potential sorbents for removing fluoride from drinking water in Ghana
TL;DR: In this article, the results indicated that, of the three sorbents, bauxite has the highest fluoride adsorption capacity per unit area, but is limited by a low specific surface area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical factors affecting the presence of 210Po in groundwater
TL;DR: The discovery of natural 210 Po enrichment at levels exceeding 500mBq/L in numerous domestic wells in northern Nevada, USA, led to a geochemical investigation of the processes responsible for its mobilization as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between microbial communities and environmental parameters at sites impacted by mining of volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, Prince William Sound, Alaska
TL;DR: The relationship between geochemical parameters and sediment microbial communities was examined at three shoreline sites in the Prince William Sound, Alaska, which display varying degrees of impact by acid-rock drainage (ARD) associated with historic mining of volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits as mentioned in this paper.
