<p>Passive coal mine water treatment schemes in the United Kingdom typically incorporate settlement lagoons to precipitate iron and collect HFO (hydrous ferric oxide). Laminar flow in the lagoons enables HFO particles to settle out under gravity. Preferential ...

<p>The two largest disturbances mining presents which requiring addressing are disturbances to the water balance and energy balance; both of which will be influenced by climate change.<br />This paper presents a framework to incorporate climate change into ...

<p>This paper briefly presents EDM adopted model and strategy for the environmental remediation mission, the most representative actions concluded in Portuguese old mining sites remediation with different and adapted solutions for mining wastes confinement ...

<p>This paper summarises available information on water quality associated with post mining lakes of the lignite fields in Greece. In Greece there are three distinctive districts of lignite mining: Ptolemais-Amynteon basin in Northern Greece, Aliveri district ...

<p>This report aims to identify current and expected future needs for mine water management, to describe water management procedures and decisions in different phases of a mine&rsquo;s life cycle, to introduce good practices for water balance management, and ...

<p>A large number of South Africa&rsquo;s open pit mines are located in fractured rock. Analytical solutions to pit flooding mainly make use of the Dupuit-Forchheimer approximation. A typical example of such a solution is the solution proposed by Marinelli ...

<p>In compost bioreactor systems, a commonly deployed technology at passive mine water treatment sites, metals accumulate in the treatment system substrate. Ultimately, this substrate becomes exhausted and requires disposal. An assessment was undertaken using ...

<p>This paper describes methodology focused on screening of groundwater pollution risk induced by abandoned mining sites on a regional scale. The presented methodology is based on a concept developed for groundwater pollution risk mapping, with suitable modifications ...

<p>Germany will quit from black coal mining in 2018, the last two operating mines in the federal state of Northrhine-Westphalia are going to stop production by then. Nevertheless, post-mining operations will have to be continued endlessly (in the foreseeable ...

<p>Economic mineral resources lying in the earth are necessary ingredients of all our modern conveniences. Its mining yields huge profits for the companies that own them, a source of revenue for the government, and provides employment to a large number of ...
