Planktonic Communities

AbstractThis investigation focused on plankton inhabiting fishponds, which previously received mine waters from the lead-zinc mine ‘Matylda’, located in southern Poland (Upper Silesia). The purpose of the investigation was to study the effects of chronic and persistent contamination of fishpond bottom sediments with heavy metals originated from the lead and zinc mine. The phyto-and zooplankton in the four fishponds were dominated by diatoms, green algae and rotifers. Plankton composition of the reference non-contaminated pond was different, since Chrysophytes dominated, and Copepoda were the most numerous among zooplankton. In the contaminated fishponds, we observed teratological forms, both for phyto-and zooplankton species, but only as individuals. Our results showed that planktonic communities had adapted to chronic and persistent heavy metal contamination.

Cemented paste backfill method has been widely used in many modern mines throughout the world due to the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and short of disposal land. This study presents experimental results on the use of Portland cement in the solidification of Pb-Zn tailings in China. Test results show UCS strength increase lineally with cement content, tailings concentration, and curing time, respectively. There exist a minimum cement content and tailings concentration to produce obvious strength. The fluidity decrease quickly with cement proportion and tailings concentration, under the satisfying of a minimum pumping fluidity, the increase of tailings concentration can effectively reduce the cement consumption so as to decrease the treatment cost.
