o:449 Effects of tailings on groundwater along Bor and Bela Rivers in the Bor mining area, Eastern Serbia en Abstract: Contamination of water bodies is a large problem in many mining areas in the world. Groundwater in mining areas can be polluted by different mechanisms and the pollution can often be severe. Mixing calculations are useful to clarify the mechanism of pollution as well as to define the source of pollution. Based on the mixing calculation between interstitial water in tailings along strongly polluted rivers and unpolluted groundwater, it is thought that interstitial water in tailings along Bor River and Bela River located in the Bor mining area is causing pollution of groundwater in the vicinity of those rivers. Keywords: groundwater pollution, calcium, sulfate, interstitial water, mixing calculation 91552100 66186761 2022-06-21T12:30:12.685Z 44 yes 46 Dragana Adamović Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor ; Mining and metallurgy Institute Bor Daizo Ishiyama Akita University person Hiroshi Kawaraya Akita University person Ogawa Yasumasa Akita University person application/pdf 269785 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:449 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A03 The 52nd International October Conference on Mining and Metallurgy November 29th - 30th , 2021 63 66 2021
