Acidic Drainage at the Pavlovskoe Ore Deposit, Novaya Zemlya Archipelago

Аннотация

Abstract—Computer thermodynamic simulations of the system rocks of the Pavlovskoe deposit–water–atmospheric gases indicates that the model drainage waters are weakly alkaline. Concentrations of some trace elements (As, Cd, Se, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ga, Ge, Sr, and In) in the waters are much higher than their standardized maximum permissible concentrations (MPC), particularly at ore storage sites.
