Study of a capillary and chemical cover applied to reclamation of uranium mine tailings and rock waste
Description
The aim of this study is the feasibility and efficiency evaluation of an uranium mine tailings cover by natural products. The studied cover realizes three functions: the water infiltration control, the oxygen infiltration and the radon emanations control and the infiltration chemistry control. These three functions have been separately studied during specific experiments. The author demonstrates that the capillary cover allows to minimize the polluted waters volumes and the pollutants migration, by a control of water infiltration in the storage. (A.L.B.)
