Abstract
[Resumen] Las aguas superficiales procedentes de las escombreras de las minas de cobre son fuertemente ácidas, ricas en sulfatos y con elevadas concentraciones de elementos como Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, K, Mn, Cu y Zn. La aplicación de los datos de actividad a diagramas de equilibrio ponen de manifiesto, en las aguas más ácidas con una actividad de sulfatos próxima a 10-2 M, la existencia de una inestabilidad de los
hidróxidos de Al y aluminosilicatos en comparación con minerale~Al-sulfato del tipo de la alunita o jurbanita. La solución extraída de los suelos del entorno a las minas refleja una fuerte influencia de las aguas más fuertemente contaminadas. Tanto en suelos como en los cauces de los arroyos contaminados se reconoce la presencia de minerales Al-sulfato (y Fe-sulfato), sobre todo en los puntü6 de confluencia entre aguas limpias y fuertemente contaminadas
[Abstract] Contaminated soils and surface waters, from copper mining in Galicia, are acidic, high in sulphate and increase appreciably in the concentration of elements such as Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, Mn, Cu and Zn. Application of activity data to mineral equilibrium diagrams iHustrates the instability of Al-hydroxides and aluminosilicates compared to Al-sulphates of the alunite and jurbanite type, in the waters which are most acid and display sulphate activities close to 10-2 M. The solution extracted from soils around the spoil heaps reflects the strong "influence of the most heavily contaminated run-off waters, with little or no buffering by the solid phase. Neoformation of Al-sulphate (and Fe-sulphate) is observed both in soils and in the channels of the contaminated streams, above aH the points of contact with non-acid or slightly acid waters.
