DetailsSulfide mining differs significantly from iron ore (taconite or ferrous) mining because it has the potential to generate acidic pH. Copper and nickel typically are bound to sulfur in rock. Because of this sulfur bond, they are described as sulfide minerals.3 The chief iron-bearing minerals in iron mining are iron oxides and iron
DetailsEnvironmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...
DetailsMining hazards are defined by the Dictionary of Mining as "any of the dangers peculiar to the winning and working of coal and minerals: […] i.e. collapse of ground, explosion of released gas, inundation by water, spontaneous combustion, inhalation of dust and poisonous gases, etc." (Nelson, 1965).This approach highlights …
