  2. 1. Iron and aluminium speciation in Swedish freshwaters : Implications for geochemical modelling

    Author : Carin Sjöstedt; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Peggy O'Day; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geochemical equilibrium modelling; pH; adsorption to ferrihydrite; metal-NOM complexation; liming; EXAFS spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Speciation governs transport and toxicity of trace metals and is important to monitor in natural waters. Geochemical models that predict speciation are valuable tools for monitoring. They can be used for risk assessments and future scenarios such as termination of liming. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sulphide oxidation and geochemical processes in mine tailings

    Author : Lena Alakangas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : The generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) from oxidation of sulphide- bearing waste is a world wide problem, due to low pH levels and the release of metals to recipients. It is therefore important to understand the fundamental geochemical processes occurring in mine waste. READ MORE

  6. 4. Geochemical modelling of acid mine drainage in mill tailings : Quantification of kinetic processes from laboratory to field scale

    Author : Sally Ursula Salmon; KTH; []
    Keywords : geochemistry; biogeochemistry;

    Abstract : Assessment of the potentially acidic, heavy metal-ladenleachates that leave deposits of sulfide ore mill tailings andevaluation of various possible options for mill tailingremediation are scientific problems of increasing practicalimportance. High costs may be associated with the mill tailingremediation, not least after recent changes in Swedish andEuropean environmental legislation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chlorite: Geochemical properties, Dissolution kinetcis and Ni(II) sorption

    Author : Åsa Zazzi; Zoltan Szabo; Susanna Wold; Peter Vilks; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chlorite; dissolution kinetics; Ni II sorption; surface complexation; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : In Sweden, among other countries, a deep multi-barrier geological repository, KBS-3, is planned for the burial of nuclear waste. One of the barriers is identified as the grantic bedrock itself and in this environment chlorite is present at surfaces in fracture zones. READ MORE
