This …
The authors have previously proposed a hierarchy for the management of mining waste (Lèbre and Corder, 2015) that prioritises waste minimisation and mineral recovery (Fig. 2). This hierarchy was based on modifying and adapting the generic waste management pyramid "reduce, reuse, recycle" (3Rs) to mining waste, reflecting its …
Mineral waste can be defined as a material leftover from exploration, mining and quarrying operation that cannot find a productive use. It is the high-volume material that originates from the excavation and physical and chemical processing of a wide range of metalliferous and non-metalliferous minerals by opencast and deep shaft methods [].The …
Mining and metallurgical processes produce significant amounts of waste. In South Africa, mining and metallurgical wastes constitute one of the biggest challenges to the environment.
This paper primarily focuses on waste management strategies adopted by industries: Iron & steel, mining respectively for cleaner production and sustainable …
Integrating waste management, environmental sustainability, and economic development is a prime milestone in the circular economy. Critical metals recovery from mining tailings and secondary resources has significant potential, with widespread applications in high-tech industries that are critical to modern society and sustainable …
This book discusses technological advances for managing industrial and mining waste through circular economy approaches and successful critical metal …
Shayesteh et al. (2020) observed that most industrial townships faced waste management problems to select proper disposal practices. Although such townships consume large amounts of resources, they generate a huge volume of solid waste that is responsible for many pollutants, and irreparably damage the environment.
Industrial waste is the byproduct of many industrial processes. ... An adequate waste management system will minimize mismanaged waste and generate financial returns by recycling and reusing ...
The waste management hierarchy "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Dispose" sets general guidelines for waste management that prioritise waste prevention, i.e., waste reduction, over waste reuse and …
Waste management techniques employed by mining companies are routinely under intense scrutiny from local governments and the general public. Improper disposal methods and the resulting environmental damages have plagued the history of the mining industry.
Mining plays an essential role in resource-rich countries given that it constitutes a source of raw materials and incomes capable of contributing to the economic growth. However, with the intensive mechanisation of mining operations and the modernisation of the ore-processing technologies in view of increasing the …
The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of the research focused on mining waste and its sustainable management on …
The products of the iron and steel industry are cardinal for our society because it is a material that can be recycled many times without any change in their properties and have wide applications in construction, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, etc. (World Steel Association 2020).Production of steel from the raw material …
Mining wastes, particularly in the form of waste rocks and tailings, can have major social and environmental impacts. There is a need for comprehensive long-term strategies for transforming the mining industry to move toward zero environmental footprint. "How can the mining industry create new economic value, minimise its social and …
The mining operation is a challenging field for human development. Deep underground mining has increased as a result of the lack of economic minerals close to the surface of the ground. Mining companies are now thinking of backfilling mine wastes to prevent mine collapse during later and deeper extraction stages due to safety and …
If properly evaluated, mining waste can be reused to reextract minerals, provide additional fuel for power plants, supply construction materials, and repair surface and subsurface land …
The global mining waste management market is projected to grow from 188.40 billion tons in 2024 to 232.34 billion tons by 2032 at a CAGR of 2.7% ... Cleanaway acquired Toxfree Solutions Limited and …
The restrictions led to the suspension of many industrial and construction productions, which led to a dramatic drop in demand for metals. ... One common method of mining waste management is underground storage, used among others for backfilling workings and sealing goafs, when there is too much waste from current production, …
