K.Guanira, T.M.Valente, C.A.Ríos, O.M.Castellanos, L.Salazar, D.Lattanzi, P. Jaime Methodological approach for mineralogical characterization of tailings from a Cu(Au,Ag) skarn type deposit using QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy) Skarn type deposits are important potential resources for Cu, Au, and Ag as well as other strategic metals, which require accurate characterization of the […]

Photosynthetic pigments in acid mine drainage: Seasonal patterns and associations with stressful abiotic characteristics

Patrícia Gomes, Teresa Valente, Dulce Geraldo, Catarina Ribeiro Photosynthetic pigments in acid mine drainage: Seasonal patterns and associations with stressful abiotic characteristics Acid mine drainage represents an extreme type of water pollution. The environments develop especial hydrochemical and ecological characteristics, such as high concentrations of acidity and low biodiversity, with dominance of acidophilic organisms. Ecological criteria are […]
