摘要

Pena del Hierro is an abandoned mine site located in the catchment area of the Tinto river (Pyrite Belt, SW Spain). As leaching from the spoils affect the quality of the stream water, the waste dumps have been characterized for mineralogy, geochemistry and granulometry to obtain an estimate of the potential pollution. Waste rock dumps in Pena del Hierro are very heterogeneous and are mainly composed of acid volcanic tuffs > gossan > shales > roasted pyrite ashes > floated pyrite. The volcanic tuffs, the gossan and the shales coexist in the same piles. The roasted pyrite ashes and the floated pyrite form more homogeneous dumps. The dissolution of pyrite concentrated in pyrite ashes and floated pyrite units can generate acid mine drainage. Nevertheless, acid volcanic tuffs, which are rich in pyrite and have no neutralizing minerals, are the main source of these acidic effluents. Only muscovite might partially neutralize the acidity, but the dissolution of this mineral is too slow to compensate for acidity. The occurrence of jarosite in the < 2 mm fraction indicates that extreme acid mine drainage occurs. The gossan and roasted pyrite ashes have high contents of trace elements. According to their concentration, As (46-1710 ppm), Pb (113-3455 ppm) and Hg (0-53) are some of the most important toxic trace elements in these wastes. In dumps mainly composed of volcanic tuffs most of the trace elements derive from the gossan mixed in the piles. Gossan is stable in an oxidizing environment, but acidic effluents (pH < 2) can dissolve Fe oxyhydroxides from them and release high amounts of trace elements to the stream water. This research contributes to estimating the production of acid mine drainage and the actual contamination risk of potentially toxic elements in soils and waters of this area, and could be the base for possible future mitigation actions in other areas affected by mining wastes.
