Long-term evolution of Fe oxyhydroxide mineralogy and potentially toxic element partitioning in mining-impacted sediments of the Lower Doce River fluvial–estuarine system

Abstract The collapse of the Fundão dam in southeastern Brazil released large quantities of Fe-rich tailings into the Doce River basin, generating a long-term legacy of mining-derived sediments enriched in potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Although Fe oxyhydroxides are recognize...
