AB  - Acid mine drainage is a challenging environmental problem caused by mining activities. Long-term  copper  ore  exploitation  and  vast  amounts  of  mining  waste  lead  to  severe  soil  contamination as well as river and groundwater pollution. In this paper, research is focused on utilizing waste mine waters and off-balance parts of the mine deposit (such as flotation tailings) and converting their negative characteristics to an environmentally friendly one. In the  authors’  previous  work,  acid  mine  water  from  Robule,  which  is  part  of  the  Bor  copper  mining and smelting complex in Serbia, was successfully treated using flotation tailings, and the resulting solution was suitable for safe discharge. This paper investigates the characteristics of the solid residue that remained after the treatment of the modified flotation tailings in order to  evaluate  the  possibility  of  its  safe  disposal  back  into  the  environment.  The  solid  residue  was subjected to TCLP and EN 12457-4 tests as standard procedures that assess the leaching characteristics  of  a  material.  The  solid  residue  was  also  exposed  to  long-term  leaching  with  melted  snow  to  simulate  environmental  conditions  for  one  year.  This  drainage  water  was  analyzed and compared with the results of the standard leaching procedures. The investigated treatments lead to improved economic and environmental effects, while the process itself is adjusted to preserve the environment.

AB  - Numerous electronic devices are put out of use every day, and most of them have printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are lased and imbued with various precious and valuable metals in abundant amounts. This makes PCB an unexploited resource of the future from whom many metals such as Cu, Zn, Sn, Al, Li, Co, Nd, Pd, Pt, and Ba can be extracted. Since leaching plastic polymers can lead to the vaporization of toxic fumes, to avoid this the PCB are pyrolyzed. The PCB is crushed and the pyrolyzed product is a powder that can easily be separated into metallic and nonmetalic fractions. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of ultrasound sonification on the nitric acid leaching of pyrolyzed printed circuit board (PPCB) powder. The impact of ultrasound sonification had a positive effect on the leaching degree for all investigated metals except for Cobalt. The biggest difference in leaching degree was for Lithium while the smallest was for platinum. Because of the complexity of the PPCB powder system overall, the measurement of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) didn’t yield any insight into the leaching mechanism since the measured values mainly followed the expected trend due to nitric acid degradation.

AB  - The automotive industry is in the process of transformation from the traditional production of vehicles with engines powered by the combustion of fossil fuels to vehicles powered by electric energy. This revolutionary transformation will generate a growing demand for metallic raw materials that are a crucial part of batteries-nickel and cobalt, among others. Providing enough raw materials for e-mobility in a sustainable way will be a challenge in the years to come. The region of South-Eastern Europe (SEE) and Turkey is relatively rich in lateritic Ni-Co deposits, and this region has the potential to partially replace the import of nickel and cobalt intermediates to the European Union from distant overseas locations. Possibilities for the sustainable sourcing of nickel and cobalt from the SEE region are reviewed in this paper, with an overview of the global demand and production of these metals, lateritic mineral resources of SEE, the current status of production, and the prospective development of nickel and cobalt production in this region.

AB  - The mining sector, nowadays, faces rising
challenges to find suitable practice that are
sustainable for already disposed waste streams
(AMD, flotation tailings and fly ash) [1]. There is a
growing tendency globally to use waste from
various industries to neutralize AMD, which has
both economic and environmental benefits. In
attempt to connect mining waste with concept of
sustainable development in the Republic of Serbia,
several experiments were taken into consideration:
neutralisation of AMD from Bor’s mine with a)
flotation tailings from copper mine Majdanpek
(FJM) b) fly ash (FA) from thermal power Nikola
Tesla (EF) and Kostolac (KOST). All three samples
of alternative product are voluminous, hazardous
waste products, difficult and expensive for safe
deposition, causes environmental pollution (by
spontaneous leaching of useful components, which
causes additional investment in the rehabilitation of
that or reversibly lost compounds that pollutes the
environment, or its dispersion by wind in
surrounding streams and groundwater resources of
drinking water, air or soil and also degradation by
soil erosion) and can affects human health’s if are
not regularly discharged. But its benefits are that
there are free of charge alkaline wastes, suitable to
neutralize the AMD by altering pH, which leads to
precipitation of valuable metal which can be reused,
such as Fe or Cu. The chemical and mineralogical
composition of the initial samples of FJM and FA
was evaluated two standard leaching tests: TCLP
and EN 12457-4, as well as Acid Neutralization
Capacity test. These base materials were shown to
have a large capacity to neutralize acid, making
them a highly effective alternative material for
neutralizing acid mine drainage and eliminating
metals, even better than results of neutralisation
with NaOH, as conventional reagent. According to
the findings the FJM and FA neutralization
experiments precipitated more than 99 % of Al, Fe,
and Cu, 90 % of Pb, and 92 % of Zn. Leaching of
these metals from FJM and FA raises Cd and Mn
concentrations. Additional treatment was
undertaken using hydrated lime to boost the pH to
10 and so offer circumstances for its removal, in
order to reduce the concentration of Mn below the
authorized limits by Serbian legislation. At the end,
as a result of utilizing alternative materials such as
FJM and two FA purified water, safe for release into
the environment was obtained. In this way,
resources are preserved for the future generation,
and the treatment of already disposed amounts of
waste reduces the contamination of the
environment, the emission of toxic metals and the
formation of acidic mine waters.

AB  - Electric waste from numerous devices that are put out of use every day has some form of printed circuit board that contains precious and valuable metals in their components. In order to extract these metals, the printed circuit boards were crushed and pyrolyzed into powder. The fine pyrolyzed printed circuit board (PPCB) powder was separated into fractions, and the fine metallic fraction was used as a raw material for metal leaching extraction. In order to better understand how various metal species react in leaching media, several leaching agents were used (sulfuric acid, nitric acid, glycine, and acid mine drainage-AMD) alone, and with the addition of hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, the influence of the S/L ratio and leaching temperature were investigated in sulfuric acid leaching solutions, as this is the one most widely used. In one case, the reactor was heated in a thermal bath, while in the other, it was heated in an ultrasonic bath. Lastly, several experiments were conducted with a (consecutive) two-pronged leaching approach, with and without applied pretreatment. The aim of this paper is to give a multifocal and detailed approach to how metals such as Al, Cu, Co, Zn, Sn, and Ca behave when extracted from fine PPCB powder. However, some attention is given to Nd, Pd, Pb, and Ba as well. One of the main findings is that regardless of the pretreatment or the sequence of leaching media applied, consecutive two-pronged leaching cannot be used for selective metal extraction. However, AMD was found to be suitable for selective leaching with very limited applications.

AB  - Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a waste from mining sites, usually acidic, with high concentrations of sulfates and heavy metal ions. This study investigates the AMD neutralization process using fly ash (FA) as an alternative material. Samples of FA from coal-fired power plants in Serbia ("Nikola Tesla" (EF) and "Kostolac" (KOST)) were analyzed and used. The results were compared with the treatment efficiency of commercial neutralization agent (NaOH). The alkaline nature of FA was the basis for use in the treatment process of the extremely acid Lake Robule (pH 2.46), located in the mining areas of eastern Serbia. The optimal S/L ratio for the AMD neutralization process determined for EF was 25 wt.%, and for KOST it was 20 wt.%. The mechanism of the neutralization process was analyzed using the ANC test and PHREEQC program. The element concentrations and pH values in solutions indicated that FA samples could neutralize Lake Robule with more than 99% of Al, Fe, Cu, Zn, and more than 89% of Pb precipitated. Formation of insoluble (oxy)hydroxide forms (Fe3+ and Al3+ ions) creates favorable conditions for co-precipitation of other trace metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, and Cd) from AMD, which is further enhanced by cation adsorption on FA particles. FA proved to be a more effective neutralization agent than NaOH due to its adsorption effect, while among the FA samples, KOST was more effective due to the aging process through the carbonization reaction. Using FA as an alternative material is a promising and sustainable method for treating AMD, with economic and environmental benefits.

AB  - Flotation tailings rich in carbonate minerals from the tailings deposit of the copper mine Majdanpek (Serbia) were applied for neutralization of the water taken from the extremely acidic Lake Robule (Bor, Serbia). Tests conducted in Erlenmeyer flasks showed that after neutralization of the lake water to pH 7, over 99% of aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) precipitated, as well as 92% of Zn and 98% of Pb. In order to remove residual Mn and Ag, the water was further treated with NaOH. After treatment with NaOH, all concentrations of the metals in the lake water samples were below discharge limits for municipal wastewater according to the national legislation of the Republic of Serbia. The results of this work suggest that mining waste could be used for active neutralization of the acid mine drainage. The use of the mining waste instead of lime could reduce the costs of the active treatment of the acid mine drainage.

AB  - This work aimed to investigate optimal leaching technology for copper extraction from old flotation tailings of the Copper Mine Bor. The leaching degree of copper after leaching with sulphuric acid at 80 degrees C was 50%, the maximal leaching degree was achieved after 30 minutes. Then, old flotation tailings were leached with adapted moderately thermophilic acidophilic bacteria in a bioreactor at 40 degrees C. Maximal leaching degree of 84% was achieved after nine days of the experiment. The third leaching experiment was conducted with biogenic lixiviant obtained by bacterial oxidation of the ferrous iron (concentration of Fe3+ 1300 mgL(-1), pH 2.14). Biogenic lixiviant with ferric sulphate was then used in the leaching experiment at 80 degrees C. Maximal leaching degree was 78%, and it was achieved after five minutes. Results of the leaching experiments show that the most efficient technology for copper recovery from the old flotation tailings of the Copper Mine Bor was leaching with biogenic lixiviant.

AB  - Laterite ores are becoming the most important global source of nickel and cobalt. Pyrometallurgical processing of the laterites is still a dominant technology, but the share of nickel and cobalt produced by the application of various hydrometallurgical technologies is increasing. Hydrometallurgy is a less energy-demanding process, resulting in lower operational costs and environmental impacts. This review covers past technologies for hydrometallurgical processing of nickel and cobalt (Caron), current technologies (high-pressure acid leaching, atmospheric leaching, heap leaching), developing technologies (Direct nickel, Neomet) as well as prospective biotechnologies (Ferredox process).

AB  - Manganese occurs naturally in surface and groundwater due to mineral dissolution
and leaching process, but also as a result of human activities such as manganese
ore mining and processing, different alloys and salts production. It is also used as a gasoline
additive, a component in ceramic/glass manufacturing, some agrochemicals (fungicides and
fertilizers). Manganese is an essential element for the functioning of many enzymes and can
serve as an activator of many others, but manganese is not biodegradable, and its bioaccumulation
in living organisms can cause many diseases and disorders. In the present study,
the biosorption efficiency for the manganese ions from synthetic solution by raw and modified
apricot and peach shells has been investigated. These lignocellulosic materials were
obtained from local juice factory, where they have been discharged as the waste. Removal
of manganese ions was investigated using the following biosorbents: raw apricot shells (KK)
(particle size <0.65 mm), modified KK with mixture of 2% alginate and bentonite (KKAlB),
raw peach shells (particle size <100 μm) modified by: 2% alginate (KBAl), 2 mol/L HNO3
(KBM) and with the mixture of 10% FeCl3×6H2O and 0.1 mol/L KOH (KBFe). Experimental
biosorption parameters were: initial concentration of manganese ions: 35 mg/L; m/V ratio: 5
g/L; contact time: 24h and initial pH value of the solutions: 4.5. The results have shown that
KK is the most suitable and cost-effective biosorbent for the removal of manganese ions
from aqueous solution. As apricot shells are widely available in the Republic of Serbia as
food industry waste, application of this biosorbent can help in minimizing waste disposal and
in water treatment at the same time.

AB  - Lake Robule is an extremely acidic water body located in the proximity of the town of
Bor (eastern Serbia) polluted with high concentrations of dissolved metal cations.
Polluted water drains from the lake into the Bor river. Acid mine drainage originates on
the slopes of the mine overburden deposit named Visoki planir located on the banks of
the Lake. Long term exposure of the pyrite in the overburden to oxygen and water led to
generation of the acid mine drainage. These acidic streams leach and mobilize metal
cations, which end up in the lake Robule, making this water body extremely acidic and
contaminated with metal cations. This situation could be avoided by proper deposition
and reclamation of the mining waste. Inadequate deposition of the overburden of the
Copper mine Bor and its impact on environment were analyzed in this paper.
Reclamation of the mining waste usually consists of technical and biological phases,
where terracing, stabilization, melioration and binding of mine waste occur. The quality
of technical reclamation can often have a decisive impact on the quality of biological
reclamation, surrounding environment and acid mine drainage generation process. In
the copper mine basin in Bor, technical reclamation was carried out only partially and
by forming high waste piles with narrow slopes. That has significantly limited the
chances for successful biological reclamation of the terrain, and the consequences of
this procedure were strongly eroded waste pile slopes without drainage channels, with
almost complete absence of spontaneous vegetation, leaving sulfide minerals in the pile
permanently exposed to water and oxygen.

the Lake. Long term exposure of the pyrite in the overburden to oxygen and water led to
generation of the acid mine drainage. These acidic streams leach and mobilize metal
cations, which end up in the lake Robule, making this water body extremely acidic and
contaminated with metal cations. This situation could be avoided by proper deposition
and reclamation of the mining waste. Inadequate deposition of the overburden of the
Copper mine Bor and its impact on environment were analyzed in this paper.
Reclamation of the mining waste usually consists of technical and biological phases,
where terracing, stabilization, melioration and binding of mine waste occur. The quality
of technical reclamation can often have a decisive impact on the quality of biological
reclamation, surrounding environment and acid mine drainage generation process. In
the copper mine basin in Bor, technical reclamation was carried out only partially and
by forming high waste piles with narrow slopes. That has significantly limited the
chances for successful biological reclamation of the terrain, and the consequences of
this procedure were strongly eroded waste pile slopes without drainage channels, with
almost complete absence of spontaneous vegetation, leaving sulfide minerals in the pile
permanently exposed to water and oxygen.",

AB  - In ores, chalcopyrite is usually associated with other sulfide minerals, such as sphalerite, galena, and pyrite, in a dispersed form, with complex mineralogical structures. Concentrates obtained by flotation of such ores are unsuitable for pyrometallurgical processing owing to their poor quality and low metal recovery. This paper presents the leaching of chalcopyrite concentrate from the location "Rudnik, Serbia". The samples from the flotation plant were treated with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid. The influences of temperature, particle size, stirring speed, as well as the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid were followed and discussed. Hence, the main objective was to optimize the relevant conditions and to determine the reaction kinetics. It was remarked that the increase in temperature, hydrogen peroxide content, and sulfuric acid concentration, as well as the decrease in particle size and stirring speed, contribute to the dissolution of chalcopyrite. The dissolution kinetics follow a model controlled by diffusion, and the lixiviant diffusion controls the rate of reaction through the sulfur layer. Finally, the main characterization methods used to corroborate the obtained results were X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as qualitative and quantitative light microscopy of the chalcopyrite concentrate samples and the leach residue.

AB  - Since commissioning in 1961, the copper mine Majdanpek, a part of the Mining and Smelting Complex Bor (RTB Bor), produced approximately 378 million tons of flotation tailings. Semiquantitative mineralogical analysis of the flotation tailings revealed significant content of carbonate minerals (approximately 20-25 %), indicating high acid neutralization capacity. Also, approximately 70 % of copper is in the form of the oxide mineral cuprite (Cu2O). Copper can be easily leached from cuprite by using sulphuric acid. The RTB Bor copper smelter generates 8.7 m(3)h(-1) of extremely acidic waste effluent (142.4 kgm(-3) of sulphuric acid, pH - 0.464) with relatively high concentrations of dissolved metals and metalloids (Cu, Fe, Zn, Pb and As). The effluent is currently treated with hydrated lime. The present study focused on application of flotation tailings as a neutralizing agent for acidic effluents. Laboratory experiments followed by computer simulation of the industrial process showed that 99% of the acid can be neutralized with flotation tailings in a series of six reactors resulting in the final copper concentration of 1.55 gL(-1). Benefits of the proposed process are: lower environmental impact of the process and reduced costs of neutralization of the acidic effluent from the copper smelter.

AB  - The biodegradable chelating agent (S,S)-Ehylenediaminedisuccinic
acid (EDDS), autochthonous acidophilic bacteria, and a combination of the
two means were investigated for the removal of pseudo-total and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-available content of Cu from surface
layers of three soil categories in the Bor copper mining area. Their efficiencies
were compared at mine overburden, flotation tailings, and agricultural land
sites in order to determine the potential role of these approaches in the soil
remediation process. The most effective removal of Cu was achieved on
flotation tailings, where combined treatment showed significant reduction of
pseudo-total and EDTA-available concentrations of Cu (40.5 § 27.3% and
99.6 § 0.2%, respectively). Acidophilic bacteria treatment showed high
efficiency on flotation tailings, removing 94.1 § 1.2% of EDTA-available
Cu. EDDS treatment showed discernible results in the removal of EDTAavailable
Cu from agricultural land soil (44.4 § 13.9%). In the case of
overburden soil material, selected agents did not have statistically significant
results in the removal of pseudo-total or EDTA-available fraction of Cu.
Chosen remediation approaches showed diverse efficiency for soil categories
on investigated sites. Combined approach showed synergistic results in the
case of EDTA-available Cu removal from flotation tailings soils, suggesting
that this combination deserves further attention as a potentially promising
environmentally friendly remediation option.
