Article Synopsis
- Plutonic and volcanic rocks from Greece, like serpentinite and andesite, have been tested to efficiently remove Uranium (U) and increase pH levels in acidic drainage from the Kirki mine.
- The study finds that serpentinite is most effective in reducing U concentration from 254 ppb to 8 ppb (97% removal), while andesite also shows promise, especially when combined with other mineral fractions.
- The approach aims to enhance eco-friendly methods for treating acid mine drainage, though it's still in the early stages of development.
X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) was applied upon selected ophiolitic rock samples from various localities of the Vardar ophiolite outcrops in North Greece. Effectiveness of the μCT application was evaluated through this case study by comparing results with other state-of-the-art techniques (e.g.
