摘要
Solutions from oxidized waste rock originating from an acid-leached waste dump were studied. The dissolution data suggest that after the majority of the soluble solid phases are removed, remaining solid phases continued to buffer the solutions in the acidic pH range. Incorporating the solution data into MINTEQA2 identified controls on the solubility of Al, Cu and Fe at pH values from about 2.5 to slightly over 5. Sulfate appears to play a significant role in the formation of solubility controlling solid phases for Al and Cu. This is not the case for Fe, and is suggested that Fe and Cu solubility may be controlled by cupric ferrite at low pH values.
