Product Description
As coal is considered as a substitute for other fuels, more serious attention is being given to the environmental impacts of the whole coal fuel cycle: mining, transport, storage, combustion and conversion. This volume presents an up-to-date account of these environmental impacts and the recent developments to combat and control them. A feature of the book is the way in which it discusses not only the experience and developments in North America and Western Europe but also presents much information made available for this study on the developments in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. ...

Product Description

Winner of the 2007 E.B. Burwell, Jr. Award of the Geological Society of America

Mining activity has left a legacy of hazards to the environment, such as waste, unstable ground and contamination, which can be problematic when redeveloping land.

This book highlights the effects of past mining and provides information on the types of problems it may cause in both urban and rural areas. By way of example, the book also demonstrates how such problems may be anticipated, investigated, predicted, prevented and controlled. Furthermore, it shows how sites already affected by mining problems and hazards can be remediated and rehabilitated.

Covering subsidence, surface mining, disposal of waste, problems resulting from mine closure and mineral processing, Mining and its Impact on the Environment is an excellent reference for practising mining and geotechnical engineers, as well as students in this field.

Product Description

This is the first book of peer-reviewed, edited papers that examines the broad subject of the minerals industry in relation to sustainable development. The book takes a proactive, positivist, and solution-oriented approach, while not shying away from identifying the real problems that mining raises in respect to social and economic development, environmental impact, and human development in general.

Product Description
Metal pollution of the environment as a result of abandoned mining activities is an acute problem nowadays. Although mineral resource extraction has been carried out for centuries, little attention has been given to minimise metal dispersal around these areas coming from the indiscriminately dumped mining wastes. As a consequence, one of the challenges facing society today is the identification, evaluation and remediation of these old disused areas to protect public health and environmental quality. These studies are heavily dependant on observation and quantitative measurements of the amounts and distribution of metals, leading to the necessity of appropriate analytical methodlogies.This book is focused on the application and improvement of analytical existing methodologies and the development of novel procedures that can be used to assess the environmental effects of metal dispersal around abandoned mining activities. The information provided could be useful to professionals in environmental fields, or anyone else who may be considering utilizing analytical methodologies for metal determination in environmental issues. ...

Product Description
The traditional picture of mining firms operating with little regard for nature or local populations is, today, no longer accurate.Protection of the environment, of mine workers, and of nearby communities has become nearly as much a concern as putting "rock in the box."With case studies from Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and the United States, this book shows how mining firms that are the most efficient in extracting minerals are also better at protecting the environment. ...
