Environmental hazard of loparite ore dressing tailings
View through CrossRef
Mobilization of environmentally hazardous elements from loparite ore tailings when exposed to various leaching agents was studied in laboratory conditions. Leaching of pollutants from fresh tailings when exposed to atmospheric precipitation and the processes of interaction of mature tailings dust particles (-0.071 mm) with soil water were examined. It was found that in both cases, there is an intensive decomposition of the minerals making up the tailings and conversion of heavy metals (Zn, Mn, Sr) and rare earth elements of the light group (La - Sm) into a dissolved, and therefore bioavailable form. At the same time, the pollutant concentrations were many times higher than the maximum permissible concentrations for fishery water bodies. The results of the experiments indicate the environmental hazard associated with loparite ore concentration tailings due to the pollution of environment with heavy metals and rare earth elements released when the tailings interact with rainwater and soil water.
