Retention of heavy metals from mine tailings using Technosols prepared with native soils and nanoparticles
A large number of heavy metals are generated in tailings of precious metal extractive operations, which could cause high levels of water contamination. Because of the environmental and health concerns, many conventional technologies have been applied to capture heavy metals from mining-polluted stre...
