Gold mining pollution has long-lasting effects on the environment, particularly through acid mine drainage (AMD) and heavy metal contamination. Monitoring and assessing the impact of this pollution is crucial, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of remediation efforts. In our study, conducted in the gold mining area of Zlatna (GMAZ), western Romania, we …

Some of these mines present high potential for geothermal utilisation of low-temperature water from remaining underground spaces. Energy is the identity of old coal-mine regions that are look black and ugly. Transformation of this into new renewable and …

Preventing water from reaching underground mines involves the use of diversion ditches and pipes to divert water from acidic areas. Another method to prevent acid drainage is to prevent the material from oxidizing.
