Localized Sulfide Oxidation Limited by Oxygen Supply in a Full-Scale Waste-Rock Pile

Vadose Zone Journal, 2018
Open-pit mines produce large amounts of waste rock that is placed on-site, often in tall, mixed-composition piles. These waste-rock piles pose environmental risks because their weathering (i.e., sulfide oxidation) may generate acidic and metal-laden ...
