The original plan for reclamation of the tailings was to use a clay cap to produce a barrier to infiltration and seepage. In the evolution from reclamation concept to final closure design and implementation, a vegetative water balance cover (VWBC) was chosen instead of the clay cap. The V...

In the coal phase-out era, achieving sustainable mine closure is significant and prioritizes targets for the mining industry. In this study, the already closed lignite mine of Kardia, North Greece, is investigated, where the mine void left is naturally filled with water. The viability of differ...
-specific review of the excavation practices, landscape alterations, and the methods of reclamation applied in mines of Ruhr, Aachen, and Saar River basins and stressed the criticality of reclamation as an activity to be undertaken during the operating life of the mine and following its closure....

mining; metals; mine closure; sediment; pollution; mine water; river1. Introduction Metal mining generates contamination at both mine sites, where waste materials are stored in tailings and spoil heaps, as well as over longer distances from mines, when leachates or processing waters reach river ...
The work of quantifying the problems of abandoned mines is the first step towards the rehabilitation of these mines. As the result, in all countries that have many abandoned mines, researchers and different organizations have been making efforts to devel
standard deviation of 0.15‰, respectively. Variations of δD and δ18O of WSP are smaller than that of river, lake, and precipitation. This is because WSP is a comparative closure which was less affected by external factors. The values of δD and δ18O of river and WSP are higher in ...
