1. Fractionation of Cu and Fe isotopes in metal-rich mine sites : biotic and abiotic processes
Abstract : After mineral exploitation the residual grinded and milled material, rich in sulphide minerals and heavy metals, is often left exposed to the atmospheric variables. This weathered mine waste material can lead to the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) which has negative effects to the environment. READ MORE

2. Chalcopyrite Dissolution in Sulphate-Based Leaching and Bioleaching Systems
Abstract : Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is the most abundant and the most economically important copper mineral. Increasing worldwide demand for copper accompanied by exhaustion of copper resources necessitate the development of new processes for treating lower-grade copper ores. READ MORE

3. Geochemical processes in sulphidic mine tailings : field and laboratory studies performed in northern Sweden at the Laver, Stekenjokk and Kristineberg mine-sites
Abstract : This thesis presents geochemical, mineralogical and laboratory studies of unremediated and remediated tailings at two abandoned mine sites; at Laver and Stekenjokk and at one active mine site; the Kristineberg mine. At Laver the Cu released from oxidation is enriched in an enrichment zone just below the oxidation front. READ MORE

4. Biotic and abiotic isotope fractionation of copper and iron : From the lab to the field scale
Abstract : The distribution of the stable isotopes of Cu and Fe in nature is susceptible to isotope fractionation processes during the biogeochemical cycle. Since Cu and Fe are redox sensitive metals, differences in their oxidation states can lead to variations in the stable isotope composition of the aquatic species or compounds that they form.

5. Chalcopyrite (Bio)leaching in Sulphate Solutions : An Investigation into Hindered Dissolution with a Focus on Solution Redox Potential
Abstract : Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is the most abundant and the most economically important copper mineral. Increasing worldwide demand for copper accompanied by exhaustion of copper resources necessitate the development of new processes for treating lower-grade copper ores. READ MORE
