Influence of Mine Dewatering‐Effluent Cycling on Arsenic Loading in a Gold Mine Tailings Containment Area

Abstract The Giant Mine (1948–1999) generated 16 Mt of Au‐bearing mill tailings (2800 mg kg−1) originating from a mixture of flotation tailings (84.8 wt%), calcine residues (14.4 wt.%), and arsenic trioxide roaster waste (0.8 wt.%). A water treatment system for high As mine dewatering effluent has o...
