Book Description
This publication is the last in a series which looked at environmental aspects of the fertilizer industry throughout the life-cycle of mineral fertilizer products. In this volume, the holistic way of looking at an issue is applied to the activities of the fertilizer raw materials sector, incorporating the concept of the whole-of-mine-life thinking and planning. This study reinforces the fact that the environmental performance of the fertilizer raw materials industry has improved over recent decades, although challenges remain. This publication explores the variety of approaches and techniques, which are being used in different parts of the world to address environmental concerns.
