Acid mine drainage (AMD) is difficult to treat due to its physicochemical characteristics, such as high pH and high heavy metal concentrations, so it causes great harm to the environment and human health. If acid mine drainage is discharged arbitrarily without treatment, it will lead to a series of environmental problems and cause long-term …

Thus, in cases where rapid data collection and analyses are necessary to detect and monitor trace metal contamination associated with mining accidents (Kemper & Sommer, 2002, 2003) and natural disasters in mining areas (McCarthy & Humphries, 2012), the conventional geochemical methods become inefficient and costly. …

Underground mine voids are extensive (a 60-ha mine with a coal bed height of 1.5 m and a recovery rate of 65% would contain about 600,000 m 3 of voids), so fill material and the placement method must be cheap, readily-available, and have low transportation and pumping costs. Mixtures of Class F fly ash and 3–5% Portland …

Today, there are two main ways to pull lithium from the ground. Until recently, most lithium mining occurred in Chile, where lithium is extracted from brines: salty liquid found at the Earth's surface or underground. To extract lithium, that liquid is pumped from the earth and then placed in pools where the water can evaporate, leaving behind ...

Any form of mining is a potential threat to the environment. The extent of environmental degradation depends on the status of mine (working/abandoned), type of deposit, mining and processing methods and the geo-atmospheric conditions. Coal mining has huge impacts to local water resources, both surface and ground water. …

Lapakko (1994) suggested another mineralogical method for NP calculation (eq. 14): (14) NP = 10 x % cal + 11.9 x % mag where % cal and % mag are, respectively, calcite and magnesite abundances (wt%) in the mine waste. The method of Lapakko (1994) assumes that only calcite and magnesite are responsible for maintaining the pH …
