The microbiology of acidic mine waters
Research in Microbiology, 2003Acidic, metal-rich waters generated by the microbially accelerated dissolution of pyrite and other sulfide minerals, are frequently encountered in derelict mine sites, including many that have been long-abandoned. While these waters are major causes of environmental pollution and are toxic to the majority of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, some ...

Mining is one of the main activities of the Chilean economy, contributing 11.2% of GDP. Most mining operations in Chile occur in (semi-) arid zones and at geographical high-altitude sites, aspects that are critical for mining water management. Although national mining is the productive sector that consumes the least amount of water, in some arid areas ...

The minerals and coal that represent economically valued ores are largely chemically stable under in situ geological conditions. When excavated and exposed to the atmosphere, however, these solid phases become chemically unstable. Coal and hydrocarbons can be oxidized through combustion to gain useful energy.

Hydrology is a relatively young science, which has developed gradually out of the hydraulic expedients which underpin much of civil engineering practice. Indeed, the emergence of truly scientific hydrology is such a recent development that major textbooks and learned journals have until recently devoted many pages to discussing its scientific ...

The Industrial Revolution accelerated natural resource extraction, profoundly transforming European ecosystems. The present post-industrial scenarios clearly illustrate the deep interrelation between nature and culture, producing spaces known as "Anthropogenic Landscapes." This is book explores European industrial heritage, revealing the deep ...

Abstract This paper describes how tracer tests can be used in flooded underground mines to evaluate the hydrodynamic conditions or reliability of dams. Mine water tracer tests are conducted in order to evaluate the flow paths of seepage water, connections from the surface to the mine, and to support remediation plans for ...

Water-Mine explores the essence of memories within the architectural discourse on the recovery of mining areas subject to the persistence of industrial archaeology. The project creates tools, such as echoes and resonances, to evoke an implicit presence of water within the monumental washing plants.
