Investigating the Influence of Structure and Heterogeneity in Waste Rock Piles on Mass Loading Rates—A Reactive Transport Modeling Study

Investigating the Influence of Structure and Heterogeneity in Waste Rock Piles on Mass Loading Rates—A Reactive Transport Modeling Study

Placement methods and material availability during waste rock pile (WRP) construction may create significant heterogeneities in physical and geochemical parameters (such as grain size, permeability, mineralogy, and reactivity) and influence the internal pile structure. Due to the enormous scale of W...
