Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the mineral and chemical characteristics of mining and processing wastes in Owen County, specifically from the abandoned Gratz mine, conducted as part of a larger research initiative by the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy.
- Multiple advanced analytical techniques, such as X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, were used to analyze soil and spoil samples, revealing the primary minerals present, including calcite, quartz, and sulfides like sphalerite and galena.
- Geochemical analysis showed a correlation between major and trace elements and their associated minerals, highlighting distinct groupings of trace elements linked to specific types of minerals, which helps understand the historical mining processes.
