Review of trace toxic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Sb, Bi, Se, Te) and their deportment in gold processing. Part 1: Mineralogy, aqueous chemistry and toxicity

TL;DR: A literature review on the deportment of trace toxic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Sb, Bi, Se, and Te) in gold processing by cyanidation is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of the Rietveld method to assess chromium(VI) speciation in chromite ore processing residue.

TL;DR: Rietveld quantification was applied to chromite ore processing residue (COPR), a cementitious waste containing hexavalent chromium, and showed that material variability is the predominant factor of uncertainty in evaluating the role of CACs in Cr(6+) speciation, provided that a consistent quantification strategy is pursued.

Review of trace toxic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Sb, Bi, Se, Te) and their deportment in gold processing: Part II: Deportment in gold ore processing by cyanidation

TL;DR: The second part of a literature review on the deportment of trace toxic elements in gold processing by cyanidation is presented in this paper, where the main findings were that only lead, cadmium and mercury form cyano complexes ranging from very weak (Pb) through moderate (Cd) to the strong mercuro complexes.

Remediation technologies screening matrix and reference guide. Second edition. Final report

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a guide to screen and evaluate candidate cleanup technologies for contaminated installations and waste sites in order to assist remedial project managers (RPMs) in selecting a remedial alternative.

Stabilization of sulphidic mine tailings for prevention of metal release and acid drainage using cementitious materials: a review

TL;DR: The acid contamination produced by acid-generating mines currently represents the largest environmental liability of the mining industry and necessitates the development of novel techniques to deal with it as discussed by the authors, which can be found in Table 1.
