1. Flexible pavement with mining waste proposal - execution and analysis of an experimental section
Abstract The extraction of iron ore has a fundamental role in the Brazilian economy. However, such activity generates considerable volumes of waste whose disposal, even if regulated and licensed, has a significant environmental impact. The worldwide concern for sustainable practices along with the urgency for measures to mitigate environmental damage, justif

2. Optical sorting technology for waste management from the Boukhadra iron ore mine (NE Algeria)
Abstract Mining processes in the iron ore mine of Boukhadra, Tebessa (NE Algeria) generated thousands of tons of mining wastes every year, which represents a real threat to the environment, leading to hazardous effects for the resident population of the region. The aim of this study is the selective sorting of the Boukhadra mining wastes for valorization. Th

3. Integrated use of sewage sludge and basalt mine waste as soil substitute for environmental restoration
Abstract If not managed properly, mining waste can be detrimental to the environment. In addition, sewage treatment plants produce sludge, a biowaste rich in organic matter which is often sent to landfills. The present study evaluated the use of sewage sludge as an amendment for mine waste from a basalt quarry as an alternative to the use of soil from borrow

4. Development of Sustainable Eggshell Waste-Polyester Resin Composite Material for Using as Artificial Rock
The aim of this work was to study the possibility of reuse of chicken eggshell waste produced in the food manufacturing industry for processing of sustainable eggshell waste-polyester resin composite materials for use as artificial carbonaceous rocks. For this purpose, composite specimens with different eggshell waste-polyester resin compositions in differen

5. Assessment of the effects of vegetational cover on the long-term stabilityof a waste rock dump
Abstract Waste rock dump reclamation includes re-grading the banks to flatten the overall slope followed by re-vegetation. These measures are required to reduce surface erosion, provide physical stability, and meet future use goals. In some cases, the presence of trees can cause localized shear zones in a waste rock dump by the load of the tree mass and the

6. Characterization of mineral wools obtained from ornamental rock wastes
Abstract The study aimed to characterize the mineral wools obtained from wastes of the cutting step of marble and granite, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use on an industrial scale. Mixtures of marble and/or granite wastes were prepared in order to reach the chemical composition of rock and glass wools. The batches were melted in an electric a

7. Contamination and Soil Biological Properties in the Serra Pelada Mine - Amazonia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Discovered in 1980 and unleashed an utter gold rush of the modern era, Serra Pelada was the largest open-air mine in Brazil. About 80,000 gold prospectors worked there until 1984, when the gold pits were flooded. The environmental impact caused by mining inflicted irreversible damage to the ecosystem, with the formation of a large lake and piles of

8. Aging simulation of the tailings from Stava fluorite extraction by exposure to gamma rays
Abstract Tailings storage facilities are disposal systems for storing the waste products of the mining industry consisting of a slurry mixture made of soil, rock and water that remain after the mineral values have been removed from the patent ore. Tailings dams are supposed to last forever, so after their deposition, tailings can experience aging processes w

9. Valorization of mining waste from Ouenza iron ore mine (eastern Algeria)
Abstract The present article is devoted to the development of a hematite-poor ore mine in Ouenza, which does not meet the steelmaker's requirements. Significant volumes are stored at the pithead of the mine, and the reserves are estimated at over 100 million tones. This enormous quantity of mining waste occupies an important space and poses a real threat to

10. SUSTENTABILIDADE NO USO DO FÓSFORO: UMA QUESTÃO DE SEGURANÇA HÍDRICA E ALIMENTAR
The phosphorus used as fertilizer in agriculture is extracted from phosphate rocks, which after extraction reacts with sulfuric acid, releasing phosphoric acid, a raw material for the fertilizer industry. Studies point to a possible depletion of world reserves of phosphate rock in the next 50-100 years. A phosphorus scarcity is closely linked to global food

11. Recovery of Steelmaking Slag and Granite Waste in the Production of Rock Wool
Steelmaking slag and residues from granite cuttings are industrial wastes with considerable production, however limited applications. This work studied an inertization and recovery process of such wastes as raw materials into production of rock wool (i.e. a thermo-acoustic insulator with growing market). Several batches were produced aiming the chemical prop

12. Investigation of spodumene-bearing rock as a flux for bone china production
The use of a waste from mineral processing, a spodumene-bearing rock, was investigated as a flux for bone china composition, partially replacing feldspar. The effect of lithium oxide in bone china body was favorable for reducing firing temperature. The presence of Li2O reacting with other oxides and silicates formed a liquid phase of lower viscosity, which w
