1. Geometallurgical study of historical tailings from the Yxsjöberg tungsten mine in Sweden : Characterization and reprocessing options
Sammanfattning : Tungsten (W) is listed among the European Union (EU) critical raw materials (CRMs) for its supply risk and economic importance. Primarily, tungsten is produced from scheelite and wolframite mineral ores with 0.08-1.5% tungsten trioxide (WO3) grade. LÄS MER
2. Reprocessing historical tailings for possible remediation and recovery of critical metals and minerals : The Yxsjöberg case
Sammanfattning : With increasing consumption of primary mineral resources, the generation of mining wastes has also increased thus requiring the mining industry to address the growing environmental concerns. Waste rock and tailings are potential secondary sources of critical raw materials currently in short supply in the European Union, but also a source for environmental issues like acid mine drainage.

3. Geochemical Characterization of Historical W, Cu and F Skarn Tailings at Yxsjöberg, Sweden : With focus on scheelite weathering and tungsten (W) mobility
Sammanfattning : Little attention has been paid to tailings from skarn ore deposits and their environmental impact, even though they can contain elevated content of elements of potential concern. Historical skarn tailings from a former scheelite mine at Yxsjöberg, Sweden, containing e.g. LÄS MER
4. Characterization of Gold Pathfinder Minerals
Sammanfattning : In this Thesis, I investigate the properties of artisanal small-scale gold mining concentrate samples from the Kubi Gold Project of the Asante Gold Corporation near Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Central Region of Ghana with a material science perspective.X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to identify SiO2 (quartz), Fe3O4 (magnetite), and Fe2O3 (hematite) as the main indicator minerals in the mining site while contributions from pyrite, arsenopyrites, iridosmine, scheelite, tetradymite, garnet, gypsum, and other sulfate minerals were insignificant.

5. Source, mobility and fate of critical Be, Bi, F and W from historical sulfidic-oxidic skarn tailings : Re-mining as remediation method?
Sammanfattning : There is a potential risk that geochemical cycles of several critical metals will be affected in the pristine environment, when mining of these metals increases to meet the demand in green technology. The identification of critical metals is based on the economic importance and vulnerability to supply restrictions. LÄS MER
