The Release Mechanism of Heavy Metals from Sulfide Tailings

Abstract:

The sulfide tailings is the main type of non-ferrous metals mine tailings, in which the sulfides could react with air, rain water and microorganism, etc. and then release some ions through a series of complex chemical interactions. The heavy metal ions leaching from tailings will cause serious pollution to the environment of mine region. The release mechanisms and effect factors of heavy metals ions from sulfide tailings are summarized in this paper.
