Groundwater flow and transport of metals under deposits of mine tailings: A case study in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Groundwater flow and transport of metals under deposits of mine tailings: A case study in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The deposits of mine tailings can be a source of groundwater contamination by metals. In this study, we simulated the concentrations of iron, manganese and aluminum in groundwater potentially affected by drainage from tailings deposits located in Brumadinho (Brazil). The aim was to verify whether th...
