The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of effects of humic acid on the fate and mobility of seven heavy metals Co Cr Cu Mn Ni Pb and Zn in gold mine tailings Ten samples were taken from the tailing storage facilities of the Chatree Akara Gold Mine in the Phichit province Thailand The heavy metal fractionation in the samples was
A field survey of higher terrestrial plants growing on Lanping lead zinc mine China were conducted to identify species accumulating exceptionally large concentrations of Pb Cd Cu and Zn of 20
Aboveground plant heavy metal concentrations ranked Pb > Zn > Cd > Cu with plants having greater bioconcentration factor BCF values for Cd than for Pb Cu and Zn Plant Cd BCF averaged
In this study the effects of heavy metals were investigated in Phragmites australis plants Effects of different concentrations of Zn μM Cu μM Cd μM and Pb μM simultaneously applied to the seedlings were detected by measuring changes in their concentrations antioxidants enzymes chlorophyll soluble proteins
The chemical associations of Cd Cu Pb and Zn in four mine soil samples from the Amizour Bejaia Pb/Zn mine Algeria have been investigated by a five step sequential extraction procedure Although Cd preferentially binds to carbonates Cu Pb and Zn are mainly associated with the organic and reducible fractions Batch adsorption experiments with either
It is therefore essential to study the characteristics of heavy metal in Pb/Zn smelting contaminated soils which provide insights for the environmental behavior of contaminants and the selection of remediation strategies Li et al 2020; Xu et al 2021 Scholars have focused on selected Pb/Zn smelting areas for soil pollution assessment
Sampling from Zn Pb mine tailings was carried out at the Anguran mine in Jan 2018 and two types of tailings produced from Zn Pb ores by extractive activities were sampled Zinc leaching plant during its process produces two types of tailings which include hot filter cake or cobalt cake S 2 sample and cold filter cake or nickel cake S 1
Orogenic type deposit is one of the most important economic deposit types in the world and accounts for large amounts of metal reserves especially gold in the world Goldfarb et al 2005 Chen 2006 Fan et al 2022 The orogenic type deposit is typically hosted in shear zone and the ore fluid associated with the orogenic type deposit shows carbon and reduced
1 Introduction Mining is an activity that is closely linked to the economy in both developing and developed countries but is also the most important source of heavy metal pollution in the environment Chen et al 2017; Teixeira et al 2018 Due to the value of gold and its superior application prospects gold mining is widely practiced in a number of mining rich
The use of multiple isotopic ratios and statistical methods can substantially increase the reliability and precision of determining contamination sources and pathways In this study contamination sources were differentiated in three subareas in one mine area and geochemical processes were investigated using Cu Pb Zn and S isotopes and positive matrix
Background Urbanization industrialization and various other anthropogenic and natural activities increase the release of heavy metals HMs into the environment posing a severe threat to nearby flora fauna and humans HMs are toxic non biodegradable silent and subtle killers that alter the soil attributes and threaten plants animals and humans impacting
The case study was represented by a mining area in Hamadan province in the North West part of Iran This study showed that the most of sampled species were able to grow on heavily metal contaminated soils and also were able to accumulate extraordinarily high concentrations of some metals such as Pb Zn Cu and Fe
By contrast higher Cu and Zn leachate concentrations were found because they were released by the soil in larger amounts as compared with those of Pb and Cd The differences in the Cu and Zn
However the Pb/Zn mine tailings contained extremelyConclusions The use of either manure compost or sewage sludge resulted in decreased pH and DTPA extractable metal ions in the Pb/Zn and Cu mine tailings with a better growth of vetiver and common reed in all treatments except for the use of manure compost in Pb/Zn mine tailings

The environmental assessment and identification of sources of heavy metals in Zn Pb ore deposits are important steps for the effective prevention of subsequent contamination and for the development of corrective measures The concentrations of eight heavy metals As Cd Cr Cu Hg Ni Pb and Zn in soils from 40 sampling points around the Jinding Zn Pb mine
Table 1 and Fig 1 summarizes the total contents and chemical fractionations of the investigated heavy metals As Pb Cr Cu Zn Ni and Cd in the mine tailings respectively According to the results the concentrations of Cu Zn Pb As and Cd in the tailing samples were much higher than their corresponding background levels in soils
Different plant communities have established spontaneously on Sanmen Pb/Zn mine tailing The site was inspected and four different plant communities were identified according to their species composition To understand the effects of different communities on mine tailing physico chemical properties a community survey was carried out in Sanmen Pb/Zn mine
Among the plants Phyla nodiflora was the most efficient in accumulating Cu and Zn in its shoots TF = 12 and while Gentiana pennelliana was most suitable for phytostabilization of sites contaminated with Pb Cu and Zn BCF = 11 22 and Plant uptake of the three metals was highly correlated whereas translocation of Pb was negatively
Results and discussion The complex of heavy metals As Be Cd Co Cr Cu Hg Pb V and Zn can be divided into three main groups of different interpretation 1 uninfluenced by mining
in the exchangeable fractionwas ranked Mn > Co > Ni ∼ Cu > Zn > Pb > Cr while that in the reducible fraction was Pb > Mn>Ni>Co>Cr>Cu>Zn givingthatforthemobilizable bioavailable metal ions of Mn > Pb > Ni > Co > Cu > Zn > Cr The addition of humic acid 5 10 % w/w to the tailings inhibited the bioavailability of Cu and Pb in a dose and
3 The Tsumeb Mine was one of the world s major copper producers Tsumeb type copper lead zinc mineralisation contains significant quantities of silver gold vanadium and germanium The mine had a historic resource of 27Mt of ore at % Cu 10% Pb % Zn and 95g/t Ag from a vertically extensive pipe no greater than 200m x 50m in plan view
