  Arsenic trioxide and underground issues at Giant Mine

  Processing of the Giant Mine ore created arsenic trioxide dust as a by-product. Approximately 237,000 tonnes of the dust was produced and stored underground in 15 purpose-built chambers and mined-out stopes (open holes in the mine resulting from the extraction of minerals). The dust is about 60% arsenic.

  Assessment of arsenic speciation and bioaccessibility in mine …

  201685 · Arsenic bioaccessibility in mine-impacted materials was determined using the <250 μm particle size fraction and the gastric phase of the SBRC assay. This method is recommended by the US EPA based on strong statistical comparison to As relative bioavailability (RBA) determined using in vivo models [18], [19], [20].

  Remediation of Arsenic and Cadmium Co-Contaminated …

  2024112 · The concurrent presence of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil is widespread and severe, highlighting the need for remediation. However, remediating As and Cd co-contaminated soils is more complex than remediating soils contaminated with a single heavy metal due to the opposite properties of As and Cd in …

  Geochemistry and mineralogy of arsenic in mine wastes and …

  2014215 · Abstract Mining generates large amounts of waste which may contain potentially toxic elements (PTE), which, if released into the wider environment, can cause air, water and soil pollution long after mining operations have ceased. The fate and toxicological impact of PTEs are determined by their partitioning and speciation and in …

  Geochemical processes controlling fate and transport of arsenic …

  2009615 · Acid mine drainage (AMD) is often accompanied with elevated concentrations of arsenic, in the forms of arsenite, As (III), and/or arsenate, As (V), due to the high affinity of arsenic for sulfide mineral ores. This review summarizes the major geochemical processes controlling the release, speciation, fate, and distribution of …

  Legacy Arsenic Pollution of Lakes Near Cobalt, Ontario, Canada: Arsenic ...

  2018228 · Century old mine tailings in the Cobalt and Silver Center areas are widely dispersed throughout the terrestrial and aquatic environments and contain high concentrations of arsenic. Arsenic concentrations were found to be as high as 972 μg/L in surface waters and 10,800 mg/kg in lake sediment. The mean values for arsenic in …

  The Legacy of Arsenic Contamination from Mining and Processing ...

  The case of the Giant mine illustrates how a large, long-lived Au mine has resulted in a complex regional legacy of As contamination and an estimated remediation cost of almost one billion Canadian dollars (AANDC 2012). The mine, located a few km north of the city of Yellowknife on the shore of Great Slave Lake (Figs. 1, 2) produced more than 7 million …
