Article Abstract
In this work, twenty-one core samples of tailings wastes were collected from Yeshan iron tailings pond in Jiangsu Province, China. The mineralogical-chemical properties of Yeshan iron ore tailings (IOTs) were investigated to explore potential utilization. Mineralogical investigations and mineral liberation analysis indicated that the iron tailings have complex texture and incomplete mineral liberation, suggesting further grinding can improve higher recovery. Yeshan IOTs accumulated much higher MgO originating from dolomite, therefore, it could be infeasible to utilize a large quantity of Yeshan IOTs as alternative raw meals for cement clinker or replace aggregates in concrete. 2D vertical distribution profiles created with the ordinary kriging method presented heterogeneous distributions of major elements, and the variation trends were inconsistent. The results obtained in this work provide insight for exploiting and reducing Yeshan IOTs.

In order to promote the development and application of low-carbon cement varieties and the recycling of industrial solid waste, this study used iron tailings and fluorogypsum to prepare iron-rich belite-sulfoaluminate cement (I-BCSA). The suitable conditions for the preparation of I-BCSA in this system were with an excessive addition of 6 wt% of SO in the raw meal, at a calcination temperature of 1250 °C for 1.5 h, and an added-gypsum content of 15 wt%.

The study investigates the long-term effects of the 2015 Fundão tailings dam collapse in Brazil, focusing on metal accumulation in soil, plants and its implications for ecosystem recovery. The research, conducted between 2021 and 2024, analyzed 3311 individuals from areas directly and indirectly affected by the dam collapse, as well as from non-affected areas, integrating geochemical, spatial, and temporal analyses. Metal concentration and cellular damage were evaluated in roots and leaves.

Metamorphic Devonian rocks in the northern Moravian Jeseník district (Czech Republic) contain non-vein polymetallic, copper, and gold deposits. Sulfide leaching following previous mining activities has caused significant chemical and physical alterations in the local environment, resulting in biological process shifts. Here, we present a detailed microbiological survey of the Zlaté Hory mine and its adjacent features, including tailings, sediments, and treated mine water.

The collapse of the Fundão tailings dam in 2015 triggered widespread contamination across the Doce River basin, yet its long-term effects on lacustrine environments remain poorly understood. This study investigates how sediment mineralogy influences the retention and mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in shallow and deep lakes of the Lower Doce River. Between 2018 and 2019, bottom sediment samples (0-5 cm) were collected from three deep lakes (Limão, Nova, and Juparanã) and three shallow lakes (Areão, Areal, and Monsarás).
