Impact of Waste Coal on Chemical Composition of Soil Solutions in Industrial Areas of Abandoned Coal Mines (Evidence from Avangard Mine, South of the Russian Far East)

Abstract:

Waste coal impact degree on chemical composition of soil solutions were studied by key hydrochemical parameters in the industrial area of abandoned Avangard coal mine. It was found that the impact of waste coal and mine waters is seen in accumulation of sulfides and silicon compounds in humus soil horizons; iron, chrome and copper in mineral horizons. Close correlation between chemical composition of mine waters and composition of soil solution was found.
