Biogenic soil formation in the territory of a long-term storage of sulfide wastes of gold cyanidation

The problem of environmental pollution with sulfide waste of gold cyanidation was discussed. Geochemical composition of waste heaps, including abandoned ones, and soils of the sanitary-protective zone is given. It is shown that in the polluted environment the vital activity of bacteria is determined by a set of associations of toxicants. The possibility of using aboriginal strains of Azotobacter expressing antifungal ability is discussed to increase the sulfurtolerant plants of the ciderates group to accelerate biogenic soil formation.
