Proceedings of the 18th Symposium on Environmental Issues and Waste Management in Energy and Mineral Production

The research papers presented in these proceedings volumes cover the latest developments and findings in the fields of mine health, safety, energy, waste management,reclamation and rehabilitation, mine closure and environmental protection.

Authors from over 20 countries with backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, technology and management, and hailing from the government, industry and academia, have contributed to this book.

The contents of this book will be of interest to scientists, engineers, consultants and government personnel who are responsible for the development and implementation of innovative approaches, techniques and technologies in the minerals industries. It will also benefit academic researchers, as it addresses the latest advances in fundamental research.

Covers diverse aspects of mineral exploration across the entire value chain, from mine planning and design to mine closure and site remediation Provides the state-of-the-art in emerging technologies in the field of mining, machinery, automation, and environmental protection Presents detailed case studies as well as fundamental approaches to remediation and bioremediation, as well as issues concerning water, effluents, and energy issues in mines Proposes a new path in the debate on the sustainability of mining operations, with special emphasis on water and energy Addresses all aspects of health and safety assurance, risk assessment, and hazard identification
