Abstract:The nature of As speciation is a determining factor for As mobility in mine wastes. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy and sequential chemical extraction methods were used for the environmental, mineralogical and genetic characterisation of mine spoil and calciner wastes from Devon Great Consols Mine, an abandoned copper-arsenic mine in Devon, UK. The geochemical control of As-bearing phases on dissolved As during leaching was investigated.Arsenic is mainly present… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
