Prediction of the effects of acid mine drainage on variations in the hydrogeochemical environment at sulfide-bearing ore deposits
Tóm tắt
Modeling of interactions in the water–rock–CO2–O2 systems was performed for rocks from different sites within a sulfide-bearing ore deposit A. The physicochemical computer modeling showed that acid mine drainage is controlled by the rates of interaction between the components of the system. The reason for the generation of acid mine drainage is that the dissolution rate of aluminosilicate minerals present in the rocks is lower than the rate of sulfide oxidation. The transition from a low to a high water exchange regime resulted in the burst release of pollutants.
