In this paper, mineral liberation analysis (MLA) was applied as a new approach to elucidate and quantify textural, mineralogical, and chemical variations on a μm/mm scale to understand the alteration processes relevant for hardpan formation at the Davidschacht mine tailings in Freiberg, Germany. Additionally, the bulk mineralogical, geochemical, and physical properties were investigated in detail. Within the upper 1.5m of ...
