First Data on Variations in the Contents of Macro- and Microelements and Precious Metals in Vertical Sections in Industrial Wastes of the Fiagdon Tailing Dump (Republic of North Ossetia–Alania)

详细

New data on the contents of macro- and microelements in industrial wastes of the Fiagdon tailing dump obtained by quantitative methods (XRF and ICP MS) which were higher than the previous data used for calculation of the metal reserves stored in the dump are published for the first time. Elevated contents of precious metals, especially platinum, are found for the first time. This makes it expedient to develop a way of complete utilization of waste, with the extraction of economically valuable and environmentally hazardous elements from the economic point of view.
