Mobility of trace metals from tailings and contaminated soils

Recently, we have begun to examine the mobility of different trace metals from mine tailings or from soils that have been contaminated through mining activities. The mobility of metals from the solid phase will depend largely on the biogeochemistry of the permeating water. We are examining this influence in addition to determining the evolution in the chemical speciation and bioavailability of the metals in the leachates.
