摘要

The seepage water quality of old sulfide mine tailings was studied from eleven closed sulfide metal mines in Finland to assess the influence of ore type on the drainage quality of tailings in the long-term. The studied sites represent a wide variety of ore types and commodities (e.g. Mo; Cu and Zn; Ni and Cu; Cu, W, As, Ag; Fe). Also the operation periods of the mines vary, from the 1750s to 1990s. Mining operations had ceased at the sites some 15-62 years ago (prior to sampling), but most of the facilities were left without any cover after mine closure. Only three of the tailings impoundments were covered with a thin layer of till or peat.The seepage quality varied largely between the different mine sites. The pH of the seepages was between 2.8-7.3 and the total metal content (Zn + Cu + Cd + Pb + Co + Ni) between 0.004-207 mg/L. Overall, the high-acid, high-metal waters were related to Cu mine tailings, whereas the seepages from the other tailings deposits (i.e. from Ni, Fe, Mo, and Zn mines) were mostly near-neutral, low-metal containing waters. Unexpectedly, the most acidic seepage waters were found at the two sites where the tailings were covered with till after closure. One of the sites represented tailings from a Cu mine and the other from a Ni mine.The results of the study show that there is a correlation between the tailings effluent quality and the ore type. However, other factors such as weathering period of the tailings also influence the seepage quality. These types of data contribute to the prediction of the long-term drainage quality of the new mining sites and in defining the requirements for their waste management and water treatment.
