The idea is that the energy industry is transformed and rebuilt in a resilient, equitable and sustainable way, while harnessing the innovations of the fourth industrial …
Mining impacts the environment in unnatural ways, which not only disrupts its natural decaying process, but also does more damage long-term than natural erosion processes. With exorbitant numbers of materials excavated and used daily, it is important to see that this destruction is actually going towards productive use.
Mine waste management can be a significant challenge for many mining companies given the large volumes of mine waste produced and the environmental hazards associated with the mine waste. Modern mine waste management plans have to include both the storage and long-term stabilisation of waste.
In the direction of sustainable mining solid waste management and eventually zero-waste production, the MagWasteVal research program aimed to achieve the proper handling of massive quantities of extractive mining waste originating from the magnesite mines after the enrichment process of useful ore.
This whole process will also create 354 million cubic yards of mining waste that will be loaded with discharge from the sulfuric acid treatment, and may contain modestly radioactive uranium,...
Many countries are aware that mining needs to be done responsibly and more sustainably. Yet some are advocating policies — especially in battery recycling — that risk having a detrimental impact...
The mining industry is at a tipping point where sustainability and decarbonization are top items on CEOs' agendas. To achieve a 1.5°C climate-change target by 2050, the mining industry will need to reduce direct CO 2 emissions to zero. Encouragingly, our analysis shows that solutions to decarbonize the majority of …
Mining and mineral-processing wastes are one of the world's largest chronic waste concerns. Their reuse should be included in future sustainable development …
Victor Maus, a researcher in geoinformatics and sustainability at the University of Economics and Business in Vienna, Austria, has spent the last three years poring over satellite images of the...
They are also needed to help power the world's electric grids, because renewable sources, such as solar and wind energy, still cannot provide energy 24 hours a day. The market for lithium-ion ...
Waste as a sustainable resource? We can obtain the metals modern society needs in two ways: by mining them from mineral deposits in the Earth's crust or by reusing society's discarded metals....
Mine Waste for Decarbonization New research suggests certain types of tailings — remember, these are semi-toxic leavings and waste rock material — can be …
Mining waste transformation ensures the sustainable management of mining waste. It can be substantial in sustaining industrial ecology. It is a broader concept that adds additional economic and social sustainability dimensions to that of environmental sustainability. In this consumption-driven society, where the large volume of solid …
The authors have argued that a key element of sustainable mining is the mineral resource itself (Lèbre and Corder, 2015), a resource that is finite and non-renewable. ... However, in the case of mining waste it is the most difficult to achieve (Bian et al., 2012), and also the least documented, ...
Sustainable mining is an umbrella term for a group of practices that aim to achieve this. Internet of Things in Mining Mining inevitably causes changes and damage to the natural environment, but it is accidents that …
Researchers have found that a step-change in mineral processing may drastically reduce mineral waste, while creating a source of sustainable sand The extraction of sand from seas, rivers, beaches and quarry's has an impact on the environment and its surrounding communities. Therefore, finding ways to create …
The recyclability of wastes, especially mining waste, is one of the current challenges. Mines are subject to a well-defined life cycle planning to allow sustainable exploitation and development for the next generations. Mining techniques have developed considerably, so mining waste has become highly concentrated on pebbles. To build …
The infrastructure created by mining operations in remote, untouched landscapes can lead to improved access to these regions which may result in further human-caused disturbance to the local ecological …
Mining companies and related businesses want to accelerate domestic production of lithium and are pressing the administration and key lawmakers to insert a …
Abstract. Mining and mineral-processing wastes are one of the world's largest chronic waste concerns. Their reuse should be included in future sustainable development plans, but the potential impacts on a number of environmental processes are highly variable and must be thoroughly assessed. The chemical composition and …
Turning Mining Waste Into a Sustainable Concrete Replacement $4.38 Million in New Funding Expands NREL Partnerships With Industry and Academia To …
Mines are subject to a well-defined life cycle planning to allow sustainable exploitation and development for the next generations. Mining techniques have developed considerably, so mining waste has become highly concentrated on pebbles.

Reducing mining waste and reusing valuable resources is a central element of the industry's shift toward a circular economy-based approach which will reduce mining's environmental impact. Recently, research has been conducted on a valuable waste stream: sustainable ore-sand. Image Credit: Maksim Safaniuk/Shutterstock.com Tackling …
Significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions arising from energy-intensive mining and processing activities. Environmental impacts, including biodiversity loss and social disruption due to land use change, water depletion and pollution, waste …
Mining and mineral-processing wastes are one of the world's largest chronic waste concerns. Their reuse should be included in future sustainable development plans, but the potential impacts on a number of environmental processes are highly variable and must be thoroughly assessed.
Tailings consist of valuable substances used in the extraction process such as cyanide, mercury or arsenic; therefore, modern mining programmes often aim to remove these harmful but valuable chemicals …
Construction creates an estimated third of the world's overall waste, and at least 40% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Compare that to the 2-3% caused by aviation, which people fret far ...

The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) has defined a set of Mining Principles aimed at maximizing the benefits to local communities, while minimizing the negative impacts. Although part of this impact will be inherent to the deposit and processing methods, other aspects are somewhat manageable (Exhibit 4). 4
The footprint of mining operations is often visible from outer space, with large areas of excavation standing out in a sea of green forest. Technological advances have …
Growing social awareness of the need to adequately treat mining waste in order to protect the environment has led to an increase in the research in this field. The aim of this study was to analyze the …
