Problems that can be associated with mine drainage include contaminated drinking water, disrupted growth and reproduction of aquatic plants and animals, and the corroding effects of the acid on parts of infrastructures such as bridges. • Water Science School HOME • Water Quality topics • Mining and Water Quality Sources/Usage: …
It is well known that human activities have negative effects on the natural environment, such as the current warming of the climate that, from a physical point of view, is characterized by two...
To effectively apply slag-gypsum binder (SGB) to most modern mines. An experimental study is conducted to investigate the feasibility and reliability of slag-gypsum binder (SGB) to replace cement in the mine backfill to effectively apply SGB in modern mines. The optimum parameters of aggregate and SGB fineness were investigated on a …

Gypsum mining spoil is a waste material rich in gypsum and calcium carbonate, so that it presents a high potential as an amendment of soils polluted with potentially harmful elements (PHEs). Based on our study, gypsum mining spoil appears to have positive effects on the remediation of soils polluted with PHEs and the recovery of …
Our findings suggest toxic potential of gypsum mine wastewaters. • The Gammarus specimens showed elevated total tissue metal levels. • Strontium uptake disturbed exoskeleton integrity. • Corrupted cuticle altered permeability to other toxic substances. • Combined effects of all contaminants caused genotoxicity. Abstract
The impacts of quarrying of the gypsum deposits on the environment at Maqna, Tabuk, were evaluated by intensive field studies including in situ testing, mapping and sampling of gypsum and well water.

EL CENTRO, Calif. – The Bureau of Land Management has approved the expansion and modernization of the United States Gypsum mine located on approximately 40 acres of public lands in southwestern Imperial County. The company's mining operation in Imperial County supports the Trump Administration's goals of strengthening local …

We assessed the effects of gypsum mining spoil (GS) on PHE immobilization in soils and on plant emergence, survival, and biomass production by applying generalized linear models (GLMs). We also used GLMs to evaluate the differences between the polluted and non-polluted soils.
Gypsum. Gypsum is a mineral found in crystal as well as masses called gypsum rock. It is a very soft mineral and it can form very pretty, and sometimes extremely large colored crystals. Massive gypsum rock forms within layers of sedimentary rock, typically found in thick beds or layers. It forms in lagoons where ocean waters high in calcium and ...

Mining activities are a potentially important contributor to water contamination. Discussions in the literature on impacts of gypsum mining on water quality are not conclusive because they tend to be site specific and lacking in details. This study sought to establish the impacts of gypsum extraction activities on water quality in Kajiado.
Because gypsum is so soft, most drills can drill through it at a rate of roughly 23 ft per minute. Sometimes the drill holes become wet, which can cause problems with the ammonium nitrate. In these cases the ammonium nitrate is bagged in plastic bags before being lowered into the blast hole.
Gypsum is a significant ore mineral resource in building, cement production, and a number of technological processes in the chemical industry and elsewhere. Wastewaters resulting from mining activities and especially from gypsum production are contaminated with heavy metals (Tichy et al., 1998, Mihara et al., 2008). These metals …
If handled improperly, gypsum can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and the upper respiratory system. Symptoms of irritation can include nosebleeds, rhinorrhea (discharge of...

As the phosphogypsum dries out, a crust forms on the stack. The crust thickens over time, reducing the amount of radon that can escape and helping keep the waste from blowing in the wind. Some of the water …
"The U.S. Gypsum mine produces important resources that are essential for America's economy and allow us to become less dependent on unreliable foreign sources," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Land and Minerals Management Casey Hammond.
In 1997 a dam atop a gypsum stack at a Mulberry Phosphates fertilizer plant broke during heavy rains, spilling 56 million gallons of acidic wastewater into the North Fork of the Alafia River. …
The rational development of mineral resources provides necessary materials for economic development, but environmental pollution caused by mining activities is an inevitable consequence. Here, we present a case study of Chehe Town in Guangxi, an area with integrated metals mining and smelting. The geochemical distribution, migration, and …

Several research groups have focussed on the influence of weathering and water on the physical and mechanical properties of gypsum rocks. Auvray et al. ( 2004) proposed a study of the ageing of gypsum in an underground mine, describing the degradation of microstructure and physical properties (i.e. density, porosity, velocity of …
The issue is the mining process increases gypsum's radioactivity, and piling so much of it together causes concerns of it increasing even further. RELATED: Research group studying effects of ...
