Abstract

contamination of the waters and soils at the Lojane
mining site, where an Sb-As-Cr deposit was mined until
1979. The waste material comprises waste dumps, flotation
tailings dump, and arsenic smelter. We have studied the
association of As and Sb in realgar and stibnite oxidation products from material sampled at the (sub)surface of the fine-grained (20 to 100 μm), porous flotation tailings. XRD and Raman spectroscopy, combined with SEM-EDX, TEMSAED, TEM-EDX, and TEM-EELS, have been used to determine chemistry, mineralogy and element distribution in the weathering products.
