AB  - Acid mine drainage is a challenging environmental problem caused by mining activities.
Long-term copper ore exploitation and vast amounts of mining waste lead to severe soil
contamination as well as river and groundwater pollution. In this paper, research is focused
on utilizing waste mine waters and off-balance parts of the mine deposit (such as flotation
tailings) and converting their negative characteristics to an environmentally friendly one. In
the authors’ previous work, acid mine water from Robule, which is part of the Bor copper
mining and smelting complex in Serbia, was successfully treated using flotation tailings, and
the resulting solution was suitable for safe discharge. This paper investigates the characteristics
of the solid residue that remained after the treatment of the modified flotation tailings in order
to evaluate the possibility of its safe disposal back into the environment. The solid residue
was subjected to TCLP and EN 12457-4 tests as standard procedures that assess the leaching
characteristics of a material. The solid residue was also exposed to long-term leaching with
melted snow to simulate environmental conditions for one year. This drainage water was
analyzed and compared with the results of the standard leaching procedures. The investigated
treatments lead to improved economic and environmental effects, while the process itself is
adjusted to preserve the environment.
