Finally, treatment activities should primarily focus on the ARD and specifically seek to remove ferrous and ferric iron from the treatment system.

Evaluation of dispersion and chemical partitioning patterns of heavy metals in the Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit: geochemical data from mine waste, water and stream sediments

“…Environmental pollution by heavy metals from mine waste dumps is a global problem [10][11][12][13]. These studies have been prompted by the need to understand better the processes in the dispersal of heavy metals from such sites, and the resultant risks posed to both human and environmental health.…”
