Introduction
Acidic leachate is produced when oxidation of sulphide occurs in an unsaturated system through which water transport is occurring. Soil cover systems with capillary barrier effects are often built to limit oxygen ingress towards mine wastes containing sulphide. Layers within the soil cover system that have a high water retention capacity also have a low coefficient of diffusion, which limits oxygen ingress. Constructing the water retaining layer from tailings that consume oxygen has the added benefit of limiting oxygen transfer deeper into the mine wastes. The objective of this example is to analyze oxygen transport through an unsaturated cover system and explore the effectiveness of oxidation within the water retention unit.
