Abstract

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PRECIPITATES FROM THE OUTFLOWS IN THE FLOODED MINES IN THE NOWA RUDA REGION OF THE LOWER SILESIAN COAL BASINAbstract. Precipitation of authigenic minerals from mine waters is a common process occurring in former mining areas near Nowa Ruda town (former Lower Silesian Coal District). Chemical analyses of mine waters coupled with mineralogical characterization of sediments from the surroundings of Nowa Ruda reveal the presence of poorly crystalline Fe (oxy) hydroxides.
