Description:   A study and literary search on dry cover usage on sulphidic mine tailings was performed. The dry covers were classified into three types: oxygen barriers, oxigen consuming, or reaction inhibiting. Potential materials for dry covers were found by the literature review such as from the forest products industry, and municipal or industrial sewage wastes.
