A finite element analysis of dissolved oxygen drawdown and sulfate production in strip mine spoil dams due to pyritic chemical reaction
The problem of dissolved oxygen drawdown and sulfate production in strip mine spoil dams due to chemical reaction between an excess of pyrite, water, and dissolved oxygen is investigated. A finite element analysis is used to solve the diffusion-convection equation assuming steady state conditions an...
