Impact of ore deposits and anthropogenic activities on local hydrochemistry at “Silberberg”, S-Germany

  • Conference paper
Uranium in the Aquatic Environment

Abstract

Massive sulfide ores have been mined at the mountain „Silberberg” in Bavaria, South Germany. Metal- and sulfur-rich tailing dumps were deposited at the surface. Due to road construction the tailing dump material has been moved, which result in a remobilization of anions and cations. Four water types can be classified: mine water, shallow ground water and a mixture of both types. One well with deeper ground water does not fit in this scheme. Experimental results point to an impact of ore oxidation processes or an influx of high mineralized water.
