“…The soils analysed did not differ fundamentally from similar soils developed on materials of carbon origin. They had similar reactions [ 28 , 63 , 64 ], nutrient content [ 22 ], and heavy metal content [ 65 , 66 ]. The principal differences between these soils stem from the different ages of the heaps and the type of reclamation work.…”

“…Xin et al [ 103 ], conducting research in Hunan Province, China, also reported similar values. The variation in elemental composition in heaps is influenced by granulometric composition, pH, and salinity [ 64 ]. The similarity in the chemical composition of post-coal materials is due to their genesis [ 104 ], and further changes are determined by geochemical transformations and the influence of biotic factors.…”

As an anthropogenic element of urban landscapes, coal heaps undergo changes due to both natural and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to determine the common development of soil under the influence of vegetation succession against a background of environmental conditions. Vegetation changes and soil properties were analysed along a transect passing through a heap representing a particular succession stage. It was found that changes in the development of vegetation were closely related to the stages of coal-waste disposal, where the initial, transitional, and terminal stages were distinguished. The mean range of pH (H2O) values in the profiles was 6.75 ± 0.21 (profile 1), 7.2 ± 0.31 (profile 2), 6.3 ± 1.22 (profile 3), and 5.38 ± 0.42 (profile 4). The organic carbon (OC) content in all samples was high, ranging from 9.6% to 41.6%. The highest content of total nitrogen (Nt) was found (1.132%) in the algal crust and sub-horizon of the organic horizon (Olfh-0.751%) and humus (A-0.884) horizon in profile 3 under the initial forest. Notable contents of available elements were found in the algal shell for P (1588 mg∙kg−1) and Mg (670 mg∙kg−1). Soil organic matter content was mainly dominated by n-alkanes (n-C11-n-C34) and alkanoic acids (C5–C20). Phytene and Phytadiene were typical for the algal crust on the initial pedigree. The initiation of succession was determined by the variation in grain size of the waste dumped on the heap and the variation in relief and associated habitat mosaic. Algal crusts forming on clay–dust mineral and organic material accumulating in the depressions of the site and at the foot of the heap can be regarded as the focus of pedogenesis.

“…Coal mining complexes disturbes regulating ES. For example, Partizansk Coal Basin located in the South of the Russian Far Eastern Region, is marked with a decreased soil quality and increased surface water salinity [Arefieva, 2019]. At the Levikhinskoye sulfide copper deposit, concentrations of pollutants were higher than during mining operations.…”

The article is focused on the possibility of implementing ecosystem services (ES) in water management system of Russia. Examples of international practice ES-oriented water use policy are reviewed. Modern structure of water use system in Russia is presented. The main environmental problems of Russia in connection with ES according to Common international classification of ecosystem services (CICES) are summarized. As a result, the authors propose a roadmap for reforming water use based on ES in order to improve water management. Key positions of possibility way of development Russia's water use system are highlighted and recommendations are given due to sustainable development goals.

“…Changes in runoff due to mining activities or rainfall caused the level of the mine water to fluctuate up and down. This placed the CPB in a dry-wet cycle in the working area [17]. In this regard, Chen et al [18].…”

Experimental Study on Microstructure and Erosion Mechanisms of Solid Waste Cemented Paste Backfill under the Combined Action of Dry–Wet Cycles and Sulphate Erosion

Solid waste cemented paste backfill (SWCPB) meets the needs of coal mining area management. SWCPB is a cementitious paste backfill material without added cement and is made only from oil shale residue (OSR), steel slag (SS), soda residue (SR) and water. In this study, mine water characteristics were simulated by combining dry–wet cycling experiments with sulphate erosion experiments. SWCPB was assessed regarding appearance, mass loss, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and the erosion products were microscopically analysed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The mechanism for erosion of the SWCPB by sulphate-rich mine water was comprehensively analysed and revealed. Research showed that the erosion mechanism was divided into two parts: chemical and physical erosion. Low concentrations of sodium sulphate promoted hydration, thereby contributing to the increased mass and strength of SWCPB. At high sodium sulphate concentrations, the erosion mainly consumed Ca(OH)2 within the material, and the main generated erosion products were gypsum and ettringite (AFt). This was accompanied by the destructive effects of Na2SO4 crystal expansion, which resulted in damage and the reduced workability of the SWCPB. The whole erosion process was continuous, mainly due to transformations of pits, pores and cracks. The conclusions of this study may provide appropriate guidance for application of SWCPB materials in the treatment of coal mine backfills. In addition, the corresponding theoretical analysis of the erosion mechanism for SWCPB materials is provided.
