Comprehensive evaluation of leaching toxicity of tailings in non-resource-based cities in Anhui Province based on entropy weight-clustering method

by

Xiaoyu Zhu, et al. View all

Solid Waste Management

Toxic components in tailings pose a severe threat to the ecosystem and human health and negatively affect tailings’ resource utilization. Therefore, using the entropy weight-clustering method, we evaluated the leaching toxicity based on tailings samples from non-resource cities in Anhui Province...
