Overview

José Miguel Nieto is affiliated with the University of Huelva in Spain and has contributed extensively to research within environmental science and engineering disciplines. Their work largely focuses on environmental chemistry, geochemistry, and pollution, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches to address mining-related environmental challenges.

Nieto's research covers a variety of topics, including:

  • Mine drainage and remediation techniques
  • Geochemistry and elemental analysis
  • Metal extraction and bioleaching
  • Heavy metals in the environment
  • Coal and its by-products
  • Tailings management and properties
  • Mining and resource management

They have published over fifty papers primarily on environmental chemistry and geochemistry, frequently appearing in venues such as the SSRN Electronic Journal, Geogaceta, the Journal of Cleaner Production, Revista Española de Cardiología, and the Journal of Geochemical Exploration.

Recent notable publications include:

  • "Phosphogypsum circular economy considerations: A critical review from more than 65 storage sites worldwide" (2023, Journal of Cleaner Production)
  • "Closing the upcoming EU gypsum gap with phosphogypsum" (2022, Resources Conservation and Recycling)
