The effect of mine tailings and sewage sludge was evaluated on sorption, desorption, availability and distribution of copper in two soils, one high (sandy soil) and one low in copper (clay soil). In both soils contaminated ...

The use of copper tailings as supplementary cementitious material can reduce the environmental impacts ofconcrete production and the mining industry. A key concern limiting its application is the potential leaching oftoxic ...

Copper mining tailings are characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals and an acidic pH, conditions that require an extreme adaptation for any organism. Currently, several bacterial species have been isolated and ...

In a copper mine-tailing afforested we characterized the physicochemical properties of the Substrate at vegetated and non-vegetated patches. We Studied the accumulation of copper in roots and leaves of the species present ...
