Selenium (Se) reservoirs in coal waste rock from the Elk Valley, southeastern British Columbia, the location of Canada's major steelmaking coal mines, were characterized and quantified by analyzing samples collected from the parent rock, freshly blasted waste rock (less than 10 days old), and aged waste rock (deposited between 1982 and 2012). Se is present throughout the waste rock dumps at a mean digestible (Se-D) concentration of 3.12 mg/kg. Microprobe analyses show that Se is associated with the primary minerals sphalerite, pyrite, barite, and chalcopyrite and secondary Fe oxyhydroxides. Selenium K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy analyses indicate that, on average, 21% of Se is present as selenide (Se2-) in pyrite and sphalerite, 19% of Se is present as selenite (Se4+) in barite, 21% of Se is present as exchangeable Fe oxyhydroxide and clay-adsorbed Se4+ and 39% of Se is present as organoselenium associated with coaly matter. The dominant source minerals for aqueous-phase Se are pyrite and sphalerite. Secondary Fe oxyhydroxide sequesters, on average, 37% of Se released by pyrite oxidation; Measured long-term Se fluxes from a rock drain at the base of a waste dump suggest that at least 20% of Se2--bearing sulfides were oxidized and released from that dump over the past 30 year period; however, the Se mass lost was not evident in Se-D analyses.
