Abstract

Mine tailings, charged with toxic minerals, of the abandoned mining of Hammam Zriba in the north of Tunisia are continually exposed to erosion and thus destroys the normal function of soils and endangers human health. Characterization, estimate and efficient monitoring of the abundance of minerals with high pollution potential in a quick and timely fashion is crucial for protecting the natural environment. Particularly, detecting changes in abundance of mineral concentrations measured in the same collection points at different time series is of special interest in this application domain. In this context, field Hyperspectral spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) method were used to characterize of both several minerals. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) method was processed for the prediction of mineral contents.
