Spoil to Soil: Mine Site Rehabilitation and Revegetation

Spoil to Soil: Mine Site Rehabilitation and Revegetation

Spoil to Soil: Mine Site Rehabilitation and Revegetation presents both fundamental and practical aspects of remediation and revegetation of mine sites. Through three major themes it examines characterization of mine site spoils; remediation of chemical physical and biological constraints of mine site spoils including post mine-site land-use practices; and revegetation of remediated mine site spoils. Each theme includes chapters featuring case studies involving mine sites around the world. The final section focuses specifically on case studies with successful mine site rehabilitation. The book provides a narrative of how inert spoil can be converted to live soil. Instructive illustrations show mine sites before and after rehabilitation. The purpose of this book is to provide students scientists and professional personnel in the mining industry sensible science-based information needed to rehabilitate sustainably areas disturbed by mining activities. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in environmental earth and soil sciences; environmental and soil scientists; and mine site environmental engineers and regulators.

Hard Rock Mine Reclamation From Prediction to Management of Acid Mine Drainage

Hard Rock Mine Reclamation From Prediction to Management of Acid Mine Drainage

Hard rock mines have significant effects on the territories where they operate through both infrastructure construction as well as resource use. Due to their extractive activities these mines store large quantities of wastes at the surface which can be both physically and chemically unstable. Reclamation aims to return a mine site to a satisfactory state meaning that the site should not threaten human health or security should not generate in the long term any contaminant that could significantly affect the surrounding environment and should be aesthetically acceptable to communities. This book focuses on the reclamation of waste storage areas which constitute the main source of pollution during and after mine operations and especially issues with acid mine drainage and neutral contaminated drainage. Features: Provides fundamental information and describes practical methods to reclaim mine-waste facilities Compares the different methods and illustrates their application at sites through case studies Identifies new reclamation issues and proposes solutions to address them Presents existing and new technologies to reclaim mine waste disposal areas from hard rock mines in different climatic conditions Integrates reclamation into mine operations and long term performance of techniques used through an interdisciplinary approach With mine site reclamation a young and still emerging science the training needs for professionals and students working in this field are huge. This book is written from an engineering point of view and in it the authors identify new reclamation issues and propose well-tested as well as innovative approaches to addressing them. Students in graduate programs focused on mines and the environment as well as professionals already working in departments related to mine site reclamation will find this book to be a valuable and essential resource. | Hard Rock Mine Reclamation From Prediction to Management of Acid Mine Drainage
