This book provides a comprehensive analysis of scientific methodologies used to identify environmental dangers related to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in mining sites. It covers the application of these approaches to soil and environmental research projects. The book combines reviews of the literature and laboratory studies on PTE contamination and cleanup of tailings and spoils from gold mines. Various methodologies such as total element concentration method, size fractionation experiments, sequential extraction process, risk assessment indices, geospatial analysis, redox chemistry experiments, synchrotron radiation science, incubation experiments, pot experiments, and field experimental trials are discussed. The book suggests expanding the use of synchrotron-based methodologies in research and projects pertaining to PTEs in mine-contaminated sites and soil remediation studies.
