Ecotoxicity of fluvial sediments downstream of the Ajka red mud spill, Hungary (2012)
Journal Article
Klebercz, O., Mayes, W. M., Anton, Á. D., Feigl, V., Jarvis, A. P., & Gruiz, K. (2012). Ecotoxicity of fluvial sediments downstream of the Ajka red mud spill, Hungary. Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 14(8), 2063-2071. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2em30155e

An integrated assessment of biological activity and ecotoxicity of fluvial sediments in the Marcal river catchment (3078 km2), western Hungary, is presented following the accidental spill of bauxite processing residue (red mud) in Ajka. Red mud conta... Read More about Ecotoxicity of fluvial sediments downstream of the Ajka red mud spill, Hungary.

Speciation of arsenic, chromium, and vanadium in red mud samples from the Ajka spill site, Hungary (2012)
Journal Article
Burke, I. T., Mayes, W. M., Peacock, C. L., Brown, A. P., Jarvis, A. P., & Gruiz, K. (2012). Speciation of arsenic, chromium, and vanadium in red mud samples from the Ajka spill site, Hungary. Environmental Science and Technology, 46(6), 3085-3092. https://doi.org/10.1021/es3003475

Results are presented from X-ray absorption spectroscopy based analysis of As, Cr and V speciation within samples of bauxite ore processing residue (red mud) collected from the spill site at Ajka, Western Hungary. Cr K-edge XANES analysis found that... Read More about Speciation of arsenic, chromium, and vanadium in red mud samples from the Ajka spill site, Hungary.

Contaminant mobility and carbon sequestration downstream of the Ajka (Hungary) red mud spill : the effects of gypsum dosing (2012)
Journal Article
Renforth, P., Mayes, W. M., Jarvis, A. P., Burke, I. T., Manning, D. A., & Gruiz, K. (2012). Contaminant mobility and carbon sequestration downstream of the Ajka (Hungary) red mud spill : the effects of gypsum dosing. The Science of the total environment, 421-422, 253-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2012.01.046

A number of emergency pollution management measures were enacted after the accidental release of caustic bauxite processing residue that occurred in Ajka, western Hungary in October, 2010. These centred on acid and gypsum dosing to reduce pH and mini...
