Migration of toxic elements within the Ermakovskoye fluorite-bertrandite-phenakite deposit
Abstract
The article discusses the conditions of mining wastestorage withinthe Ermakovskoyeberyllium deposit. Data on the content of beryllium, fluorine, zinc, cadmium, arsenic and other toxic elements in mine and surface waters, soils and vegetation within the depositand in the surrounding area are presented. It is shown that the migration of toxic elements mainly occurs in the solid phase in the composition of weathering products of ore mining waste. Surface and underground waters, forming resources and chemical composition within the area, have a slightly alkaline reaction of the medium, are polluted with sulfate ion, iron, manganese. The vegetation is contaminated with zinc and cadmium.
