Material Characterization: Will the Material Produce Significant Metal Leaching? (BHP Billiton, unknown)
A lecture on material characterization for predicting metal leaching and acid rock drainage from mine waste, covering elemental composition analysis, weathering processes, dissolution and solubility controls, drainage chemistry prediction methods, and monitoring approaches for assessing environmental impacts of mining materials.
