Abstract

This report describes the setting-up of a long term field investigation into the efficacy of treating As-contaminated land with the industrial mineral diatomite. Previous work in this three-year project identified a sample of diatomite that was potentially suitable for the amelioration of metalliferous mine wastes. The field trials described were set-up in December 1998.
