The samples\u2019 bulk mineralogical and chemical compositions are determined by petrographic examination, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and inductively-coupled mass spectrometry (following acid digestion). In general, of the metals studied Cd (predominantly oxidizable but often exchangeable) and Pb (predominantly reducible) pose the greatest hazard to the environment. Ni (predominantly oxidizable) and Cr (predominantly reducible) are also highly abundant and potentially mobile. Zn and Cu are abundant and predominantly exchangeable in half of the samples examined. Leaching of all metals is likely to be accelerated by the samples\u2019 acid-forming propensity, which arises from their considerable (though variable) inventories of framboidal pyrite. This is especially the case for the wastes from Bogdanka and Piast mines, since they possess an order of magnitude more sulfidic material than the other samples (up to 1.9 wt%). Management of repositories containing these wastes will require specific measures to prevent such acid generation and ecotoxic metal release into the environment. Specifically, encapsulation within acid-neutralizing (e.g. calcite-bearing) materials is essential for these wastes, but is also recommended for those from mines Jankowice, Marcel, Staszik and Chwalowice.<\/p>","DOI":"10.21203\/rs.3.rs-4518250\/v1","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T16:50:11Z","timestamp":1718988611000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Ecotoxic Metal Leaching Behaviour of Coal Gangue using a Sequential Extraction Procedure"],"prefix":"10.21203","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1615-7702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"Nash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"HZDR: Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf"}]},{"given":"Reza","family":"Fahmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines"}]},{"given":"Violeta","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines"}]},{"given":"Rich","family":"Crane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"ARD Test Handbook, Project P387A Prediction","author":"AMIRA","year":"2002","unstructured":"AMIRA (2002) ARD Test Handbook, Project P387A Prediction. & Kinetic Control of Acid Mine Drainage"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125061","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhydrol.2020.125061","article-title":"Acid Mine Drainage from Coal Mining in the United States \u2013 An Overview","volume":"588","author":"Acharya B","unstructured":"Acharya B, Sharma, Kharel G (September 2020) Acid Mine Drainage from Coal Mining in the United States \u2013 An Overview.
