Samples taken of solids, water, vegetation, and other biota are
often taken to a laboratory where they are analyzed for different
constituents/properties important to mine reclamation. Analytical
data obtained from different sampling events at a reclamation site
is vital to successful reclamation efforts. Throughout the tech
guide you will see the many applications analytical data has in
the field of mineland reclamation. In the following sections, you
will learn about the different chemical analyses that water samples
may be tested for. In addition, you will learn about the different
chemical and physical analyses that solid samples may be tested
for. Analyses of solids are similar for waste material, soil, vegetation,
and other biota. Preparation of the samples may differ but the analyses
themselves are often the same.
