Mavres Petres mine is an underground mine, located in Chalkidiki, northern Greece, that owned and operated by Hellas Gold; a wholly subsidiary of Eldorado Gold Corporation. The extracts highgrade lead zinc orebody using drift fill mining method. Backfill integral part cycle at mine. Filtered coarse tailings mixed with cement are used for making cemented hydraulic backfill surface batching plant...

Sedum alfredii Hance is a newly reported zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator native to China. In this study, four populations of S. alfredii were collected from Yejiwei (YJW), Jinchuantang (JCT) and Qiaokou (QK) lead (Pb)/Zn mines located in Hunan Province as well as Quzhou (QZ) Pb/Zn mine located in Zhejiang Province for exploring the intraspecies difference of this plant in metal accu...

A pilot scale field trial for a novel metal removal technology in the treatment of mine waters was performed using mine water from White Tip, part of the former Snailbeach lead mine in Shropshire, United Kingdom (UK). The water is circum-neutral pH and contains elevated zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The novel treatment process is based on ion exchange (IE) using a bespoke mesh in a rot...

lead has been recognized as an environmental pollutant of cancer for humans for livings for years. the lead concentration in biological cycles seems to depend on several factors, such as soil properties, plants species, and water properties as well as other factors. the objective of this study was to assess the rate of mobility and determine its effect on blood indices around the feyz abad – le...

The Boundary Element Method has been applied to calculate stress distribution and stability of underground mines for disposal of chemical waste. A case similar to the Stripa mine in Sweden has been considered. The rock mass was granite, with major fracture zones represented by three families of planes mutually orthogonal and 100 meters distant from each other. The pre and post processor GiD [3]...

the data obtained from field and geothermometric studies and also the ree composition of fluorites associated with lead mineralization at the kamar-mehdi mine are compatible with a structurally controlled, fissure filling, epigenetic, hydrothermal origin. homogenization and last ice melting temperatures for primary fluid inclusions trapped in fluorite crystals indicate that the mineralization o...
