3. Mobilization of metals from mining wastes and the resuspension of contaminated sediments
Sammanfattning : In some environmental situations, environmental effects caused by elevated metals resulting from past mining and smelting activities can be observed in nearby receiving water bodies several decades after mine and smelter closure. There is a growing need for managing the hazardous solid wastes such as mining wastes as well as for assessing water quality and for sustainable management of sediment quality. LÄS MER
4. Landfills and glass dumpsites as future bank accounts of resources : waste characterization and trace elements extraction
