Mining and extraction of metals generates huge amounts of tailings waste (a mixture of water, finely ground ore rock and processing effluents, which remains after removal of mineral concentrate). Unfortunately, accidental release of mine tailings into river systems and their further deposition in floodplains, often over arable land, has been reported from many parts of the world, with environmental implications difficult to predict. Mine tailings from sulphidic metal ores combine high potential for generating soil acidity, and high concentrations of plant available heavy metals, which are the two most intractable issues in restoration of post-mining sites. On the other hand, barren land degraded by mining waste provides an exciting opportun...
