اقرأ المزيدMining and agricultural activities represent a conflict in their competing land uses. While poor agricultural conditions can be a driver for people to start engaging in mining activities, the effects of mining can have detrimental effects on farmland and agricultural areas and practices.
اقرأ المزيدThe primary methods used to extract minerals from the ground are: Underground miningSurface (open pit) miningPlacer mining The location and shape of the deposit, strength of the rock, ore grade, mining costs, and current market price of the commodity are some of the determining factors for selecting which mining method to use.Higher …
اقرأ المزيدEnvironmental contamination and landscape alteration are well known adverse impacts caused by mines. However, the impact of mines on the weathering are less studied and considered minimal in nature. The destruction and disturbances caused by mines spread in wider area suggesting probable influence on the weathering. Thus, the …
اقرأ المزيدMining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along with stress from the working environment or managerial pressures, ...
اقرأ المزيدThis may potentially have led to more urban comparison areas than the predominantly rural mining sites. The positive impacts of mining projects on water and sanitation infrastructures were less seen among the poorer s, particularly for access to modern sanitation.
اقرأ المزيدThe environmental impact of both fine and coarse aggregate production is now hard to ignore especially on the outskirts of the main cities. These impacts are clearly seen on the degradation of landscape and land stability, pollution of water resource, pollution of the atmosphere due to dust, and societal impacts.
اقرأ المزيدPurpose Basalt weathering has the potential to absorb and sequester CO2 as inorganic carbon, while its weathering byproducts, montmorillonite and kaolinite, have the capacity to stabilize organic carbon. Nonetheless, the practical viability of basalt weathering in achieving the stabilization of inorganic carbon and its impact on organic …
اقرأ المزيدSuch increased mining would present negative social and environmental impacts associated with existing mining activities, such as water and air pollution and harm to human health. Scaling carbon mineralization may include more excavation of basalt rocks, however more research is needed to ensure doing so doesn't come with …
اقرأ المزيدAlthough rubberized concrete is widely accepted as an eco-friendly building material, its engineering applications are far limited due to its relatively low strength.To address this deficiency, the current study examines the effect of enhancing the strength of rubberized concrete through incorporating basalt fibers (BF) and water-based epoxy …
اقرأ المزيدThis major impact is accompanied by loss of habitat, noise, dust, blasting effects, erosion, sedimentation, and changes to the visual scene. Mining aggregate can lead to serious environmental impacts. Societal pressures can exacerbate the environmental impacts of aggregate development.

اقرأ المزيدMining and Quarrying Impacts Introduction. Mining and quarrying extract a wide range of useful materials from the ground such as coal, metals, and stone. These substances are used widely in building and manufacturing industry, while precious stones have long been used for adornment and decoration.
اقرأ المزيدGreen mining aims to adapt the mining operations to reduce the negative impacts, while maintaining the interests of stakeholders.Basalt is a mafic volcanic rock that is widely available in the Earth's surface and often occurs in a variety of ore deposit systems. Traditionally, basalt is used in various ornamentation and construction purposes.
اقرأ المزيدAggregate mining is an extractive use of resources: mining alters the landscape and its natural hydrologic system. When a new pit or quarry is proposed or when an existing operation needs to expand, local governments and citizens typically have many questions about the impacts mining might have.
