Mine activities may cause serious environmental problems. Whether the solid wastes from the mine pollute the environment is the one of the problems. The solid wastes from the Nanjing YinMao Lead-Zinc Mine were investigated by multiple mineralogical techniques in this paper. Calcite and quartz were the major components of the solid wastes by X-ray diffraction spectrum. Several elements such as O, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ca, K, S, Si, Al, As and Na were detected in the solid wastes by electron microprobe analysis. Although the solid wastes contained heavy metals, their concentrations in the leaching solution of the solid wastes by ICP were less than the identification standard for hazardous waste. Therefore, the solid wastes from the Nanjing YinMao Lead-Zinc Mine are not hazardous.

“…Over time, atmospheric oxygen and bacteria cause oxidation of pyrite and other sulphide minerals. As a result of weathering, the products of oxidation are dissolved and leached in the form of acid mine drainages (AMDs), whose influence on the environment is extremely harmful due to a high content of heavy metal ions and sulphuric acid [12][13][14][15].…”

“…The acid produced dissolves neutralizing minerals present, and the net result of the acid production and neutralization can be measured directly (Brough et al 2013). This test does not require S determinations and is therefore more readily conducted in a field laboratory than other static tests (Lapakko 2002).…”

The Etili neighborhood in Can County (northwestern Turkey) has large reserves of coal and has been the site of many small-to medium-scale mining operations since the 1980s. Some of these have ceased working while others continue to operate. Once activities cease, the mining facilities and fields are usually abandoned without rehabilitation. The most significant environmental problem is acid mine drainage (AMD). This study was carried out to determine the acid generation potential of various lithological units in the Etili coal mine using static test methods. Seventeen samples were selected from areas with high acidic water concentrations: from different alteration zones belonging to volcanic rocks, from sedimentary rocks, and from coals and mine wastes. Static tests (paste pH, standard acid-base accounting, and net acid generation tests) were performed on these samples. The consistency of the static test results showed that oxidation of sulfide minerals, especially pyrite-which is widely found not only in the alteration zones of volcanic rocks but also in the coals and mine wastes-is the main factor controlling the generation of AMD in this mine. Lack of carbonate minerals in the region also increases the occurrence of AMD.
