The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), in southwestern of Spain, allocates 23 reservoirs dams along its fluvial network, built for industrial, mining, agriculture and/or recreation. These dams are affected by acid main drainage (AMD), presenting different degrees of contamination. The weathering of sulphides, mainly in the mine waste dumps, promoted the release of pollutants, such a sulphate and metals, which suffer transport into the water dams. The present work documents the mineralogy of different grain size fractions (<2 mm and <2 μm fractions) of the water dam’s sediments. The mineralogical results obtained by X-ray diffraction were combined with geochemical data, namely through determination of accumulation factors for some toxic elemen...
