  Title Agricultural soils irrigated with acidic mine water: Acidity, heavy metals, and crop contamination Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Australian Journal of Soil Research Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 43 Issue 7 Pages 819-826  
  Keywords Contamination and remediation Irrigated agriculture Soil studies geographical abstracts: physical geography soils (71 5 14) international development abstracts: agriculture and rural development (74 1 8) ecological abstracts: terrestrial ecology (73 4 2) bioaccumulation irrigation agricultural soil acid mine drainage pH crop plant heavy metal China Far East Asia Eurasia  
  Abstract Agricultural soils irrigated with acidic mine water from the Guangdong Dabaoshan Mine, China, were investigated. The pH of the soils could be as low as 3.9. However, most of the mineral acids introduced into the soils by irrigation were transformed to insoluble forms through acid buffering processes and thus temporarily stored in the soils. Different heavy metals exhibited different fraction distribution patterns, with Zn and Cu being mainly associated with organic matter and Pb being primarily bound to oxides (statistically significant at P = 0.05). Although the mean of exchangeable Cd was greatest among the Cd fractions, there was no statistically significant difference between the exchangeable Cd and the oxide-bound Cd (the 2nd greatest fraction) or between the exchangeable Cd and the carbonate-bound Cd (the 3rd greatest fraction). It was also found that there were generally good relationships between the concentrations of various Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd fractions and pH, suggesting that a major proportion of each heavy metal in the soils was mainly derived from the acidic irrigation water. The results also show that the crops grown in these soils were highly contaminated by heavy metals, particularly Cd. The concentration of Cd in the edible portions of most crops was far in excess of the limits set in China National Standards for Vegetables and Fruits and this can be attributable to the extremely high transfer rate of Cd from the soils to the crops under the cropping system adopted in the study area. < copyright > CSIRO 2005.

  Title Hydrogeochemistry and treatment of acid mine drainage in southern China Type Book Chapter
  Year 1993 Publication Proceedings of the Annual National Meeting – American Society for Surface Mining and Reclamation, vol.10 Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 277-283

  Abstract Coal mines and various sulfide ore deposits are widely distributed in Southern China. Acid mine drainage associated with coal and metal sulfide deposits affects water quality in some mined areas of Southern China. Mining operations accelerate this natural deterioration of water quality by exposing greater surface areas of reactive minerals to the weathering effects of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Some approaches to reduce the effects of acid mine drainage on water quality are adopted, and they can be divided into two aspects: (a) Man-made control technology based on long-term monitoring of acid mine drainage; and, (b) Neutralization of acidity through the addition of lime. It is important that metals in the waste water are removed in the process of neutralization. A new method for calculating neutralization dosage is applied. It is demonstrated that the calculated value is approximately equal to the actual required value.

  Title Ecology and the problems of rehabilitating wastes from mineral extraction Type Journal Article
  Year 1974 Publication Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series A Mathematical and Physical Sciences Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 339 Issue 1618 Pages 373-387  
  Keywords minerals mining natural resources pollution waste disposal ecology mineral extraction visual ugliness health hazards safety hazards reclamation process development planning site purchase land clearance land forming stabilisation drainage revegetation rehabilitation of wastes Physics Manufacturing and Production  
  Abstract Environmental problems which may be associated with mineral extraction are: (a) the visual ugliness of open pits, waste tips, and working mess; (b) the nuisance of wind- and water-borne dusts; (c) the health hazards to wildlife, crops, livestock and man of locally increased environmental burdens of potentially toxic metals (e.g. Pb, Cd, As, Zn, Cu, Ni) derived from wind- and water-borne mine dusts and smelter smokes; (d) the safety hazards of surface subsidence and tip-slippage from deep-mining. All these disamenities can be cured or reduced by the reclamation process which involves a blend of socio-economic, legal, planning, civil engineering and biological expertise devoted to development planning, site purchase, land clearance, land forming, stabilization, drainage and revegetation of the affected site
