Microbial Succession Signals the Initiation of Acidification in Mining Wastewaters
Abstract
We characterized the sulfur geochemistry and microbial community structure of seven circumneutral wastewaters from two Canadian nickel mines collected in summer, winter, and spring, in 2014 and 2015. We also established and characterized sulfur oxidizing enrichments for these wastewater samples in two pH corrals of 7–5 and 5–3. Mine 1 exhibited lower contents of total soluble sulfur compounds and reactive soluble sulfur compounds (oxidation …
