Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The physical and chemical characterization of mine wastes provides important information when considering potential reprocessing activities or the development of an environmental protection program. The drained solutions flowing by percolation contain very small particles with high arsenic contents that are being incorporated into river sediments. Furthermore, these very fine-grained materials are available for transport by wind, creating a secondary source of environmental contamination. These data are fundamental for the economic and environmental assessment of the two main alternatives, reprocessing or removal.
To improve resource efficiency and minimize environmental footprint, this Special Issue will focus on the approach for environmental management and metals recovery of mine waste pollution. We would like to encourage you to submit to this Special Issue your original research papers (such as the optimization of mechanical recycling processes or sorting techniques or cost-effective end-use applications for the recyclates).
You are encouraged to submit for this Special Issue regardless of research methods. Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further inquiry about the scope of this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. António Fiuza
