Hard Rock Mine Reclamation
Author: Bruno Bussière
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351680757
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Hard rock mines have significant effects on the territories where they operate, through both infrastructure construction as well as resource use. Due to their extractive activities, these mines store large quantities of wastes at the surface, which can be both physically and chemically unstable. Reclamation aims to return a mine site to a satisfactory state, meaning that the site should not threaten human health or security, should not generate in the long term any contaminant that could significantly affect the surrounding environment, and should be aesthetically acceptable to communities. This book focuses on the reclamation of waste storage areas, which constitute the main source of pollution during and after mine operations, and especially issues with acid mine drainage and neutral contaminated drainage. Features: Provides fundamental information and describes practical methods to reclaim mine-waste facilities Compares the different methods and illustrates their application at sites through case studies Identifies new reclamation issues and proposes solutions to address them Presents existing and new technologies to reclaim mine waste disposal areas from hard rock mines in different climatic conditions Integrates reclamation into mine operations and long term performance of techniques used through an interdisciplinary approach With mine site reclamation a young and still emerging science, the training needs for professionals and students working in this field are huge. This book is written from an engineering point of view and in it the authors identify new reclamation issues and propose well-tested as well as innovative approaches to addressing them. Students in graduate programs focused on mines and the environment as well as professionals already working in departments related to mine site reclamation will find this book to be a valuable and essential resource.

Publisher: Expert Notes, Publisher
ISBN: 8197943257
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Visualizing the era of urbanization, population growth, climate change, environmental degradation etc., the demand for sustainable practices in Civil and Environmental Engineering has never been as important as today. The edited book "Introduction to Sustainable Solution Techniques in Civil and Environmental Engineering Science" is planned to give an overview of certain approaches and methods for addressing these serious issues. The book is a collection of selected papers presented at International Conference on Advances in Civil and Environmental Engineering (ICACEE-2024), held at Civil Engineering Department, M.M. Engineering College, Mullana, Ambala, Haryana on 14-15 March 2024. This book is not just an academic resource, but also a guide for researchers, engineers, and students, who are dedicated to promoting sustainability in their actions. It is the duty of all researchers to follow the responsibility for inventing and implementing solutions that not only fulfil day-to-day requirements but also to protect natural resources and the environment for future generations. Therefore, the integration of the concept of sustainability into engineering techniques is no longer a choice; it is a necessity. This book is structured to provide readers with a foundation in sustainable engineering. Subsequent chapters look at various approaches and technologies that reflect sustainable practices. Topics addressed include sustainable material & design choices, resource and waste management techniques and practices, and energy-efficient design, etc. Each chapter is intended to showcase applications and case studies that demonstrate how these strategies might be used in a variety of settings. The importance of this work goes beyond academics and professional practice. As global citizens, we all have a role to play in promoting sustainability and readers will gain insight into the practicalities of applying sustainable solutions at their workplace. The opinions outlined in this book resonate with individuals and communities alike, inspiring collective action toward environmental stewardship. We hope that this book will serve as a catalyst for encouraging readers to reflect on their own practices and consider how they can contribute to a more sustainable world. Moreover, this book emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the objective of this book is to encourage and prepare engineers to use sustainability as a guiding concept in their work. The difficulties we confront are tremendous, as are the potential for genuine change. By incorporating sustainable solution strategies into Civil and Environmental Engineering, one can make a future that would respect our planet and its inhabitants. It is intended that everybody join us in our pursuit to build a more sustainable and fair society. The path to sustainability is not a straight line; it is a dynamic process that requires continuous learning, adaptation, and innovation. Mullana September 2024 Dr. Vanita Aggarwal Dr. Chadetrik Rout
