Summary

Elemental concentrations for bulk and size-fractionated mine waste from sampled historical waste piles from the Tar Creek Superfund Site, Oklahoma, U.S. were determined after dissolution via acid digests or a sodium peroxide fusion. Elemental concentrations were determined for the leachate from a simulated rainwater leach of mine wastes. Data and methods reported are part of a research study published here: White, S.J.O., Piatak, N.M., McAleer, R.J., Hayes. S.M., Seal, R.R. II, Schaider, L.A., Shine, J.P.

Purpose

Data were obtained to determine the bulk and size-fractionated elemental composition of mine wastes and leaches from the Tar Creek Superfund Site in Oklahoma, U.S., a historical zinc and lead mining area. Ultimately these data are a part of a greater characterization of the environmental behavior of Ge and potential for recovery from mine wastes.
