Stewart, W., Miller, S., Smart, R., Gerson, A., Thomas, J., Skinner, W., Levay, G., Schumann, R.
Environmental Geochemistry International (EGi) and the Ian Wark Research Institute (IWRI) collaborated in a three-year Australian Minerals Industry Research Association (AMIRA) research project (Project Number P387A) focussed on the prediction and kinetic control of acid mine drainage. As part of...

Nordwick, S., Bless, D., Zaluski, M.
An innovative, biological treatment process has been designed by MSE Technology Applications, Inc to treat and control acid mine drainage (AMD). A field-scale demonstration is being conducted under the Mine Waste Technology Program using water flowing from a historic mine in Montana. A successful...

A practical field method for determining the maximum value of the intrinsic oxidation rate, Smax , of sulfidic materials in waste rock dumps is proposed. Knowledge of the intrinsic oxidation rate of sulfidic materials distributed in a dump is necessary for predictive modelling of oxidation and...

Mylona, E., Papassiopi, N., Xenidis, A., Paspaliaris, I.
Acid generating sulfidic tailings covering a surface area of approximately ten hectares have been deposited in the historic mining area of Lavrion in Greece. For the development of a remediation strategy, the performance of three alternative acid generation control techniques was assessed under...

On-land waste rock dumps at BHP Billiton Base Metals’ Island Copper Mine (ICM) near the northern end of Vancouver Island, B.C. continue to discharge ARD. These waters, which amount to approximately five million cubic metres each year, are injected into a three-layer, meromictic pit lake for...

Martin, A. J., Crusius, J., McNee, J. J., Whittle, P., Pieters, R., Pedersen, T. F.
The Main Zone and Waterline pit lakes at the Equity Silver Mine near Houston, BC (Canada) are the sites of an ongoing three-year government- and industry-funded research program. In order to assess the feasibility of various bio-remediation strategies, field-scale manipulations were conducted...

Baker, Kathleen, Macciotta, Renato, Hendry, Michael T, Lefsrud, Lianne M
Efforts related to the safety and performance of oil sands tailings storage and transportation facilities have traditionally focused on preventing catastrophic failures and are well defined by government legislation and industrial best practices. However, a recent death related to ground hazards...

Freezing Characteristics of Mine Waste Tailings and their Relation to Unsaturated Soil Properties
DownloadSpring 2018
The study investigated the feasibility of using the soil freezing characteristic curve (SFCC) to estimate the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) in mine waste tailings as an alternative to traditional SWCC testing. Traditional SWCC tests are challenging and time-consuming to conduct, taking...

Tran, A. B., Miller, S., Williams, D. J., Fines, P., Wilson, G. W.
This paper presents the results and findings of geochemical and mineralogical testwork conducted on samples collected from waste rock dumps at two mine sites, located in South Carolina, USA (Site 1) and Sudbury Ontario, Canada (Site 2). Important aspects of the relationship between the physical...
