Immobilization of Lead and Zinc in Tailings Sand Using a Stabilizer Synthesized from Granite Sawdust for Mine Remediation

This research addresses the environmental problem of granite sawdust waste from stone processing and mining tailings containing lead and zinc. Scientists developed a new material called GFAS by transforming granite sawdust into a zeolite-based stabilizer that effectively traps and immobilizes heavy metals in mining waste. This sustainable approach, called waste-treats-waste, reduces the mobility of dangerous metals, protecting soil and water from contamination.
