Lithium clay projects are particularly important for North America as a domestic source of the mineral, which is critical for the energy transition and the growing demand for electric vehicles ...
Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are a regulated policy mechanism that can be used to predict and consider the health impacts of mining projects to determine if consent is given. The ways ...
Whereas there are various environmental concerns in the mining sector, in this chapter the focus is on the environmental impacts of sand mining but prior to that, a brief overview of climate change and its relation to the mining sector will be discussed. 3.2.1 Nexus Between Environment, Climate Change and Mining Activities
The negative impacts of some reagents used in mining on the environment and waterbodies in and around mining sites are considered in this thesis. The thesis project …
The study of clay behaviour in suspensions is important for the optimisation of the mineral processing operations in the industry. Clays, which are part of phyllosilicates family, can …
Mining has been blamed globally for harmful and impoverishing effects. Most countries are rich sources of gemstone, yet there is very little development, since miners, and those around mining sites, still live in abject poverty. This study sought answers on: "how mining activities have affected communities' livelihoods?". Data was gathered …
Research Thesis MNRM ii Onyeneke, 2023 Abstract Gold mining on pristine land that Indigenous people use for sustenance is a common practice in Canada, despite some of these lands being designated as Indigenous-protected areas.

In Sri Lanka at present, the mining of clay for the production of bricks and roof tiles is mechanized. The result of mechanized mining is deep pits left along river basins. These pits get filled with water during the wet season. Since pumping of water after the wet season for further mining becomes expensive, the excavator attempts to …

Mining activities, including prospecting, exploration, construction, operation, maintenance, expansion, abandonment, decommissioning and repurposing of a mine can impact social and environmental systems in a range of positive and negative, and direct and indirect ways. Mining can yield a range of benefits to societies, but it may also …
N2 - This thesis investigates the impacts of mining projects in Papua New Guinea (PNG) on livelihoods and poverty in the indigenous mining communities. The impact of mining on poverty of PNG's indigenous people has been an issue of concern for several decades. In fact, mining has been a controversial industry in PNG.
Even though it is regarded as a crucial economic activity worldwide, mining has a significant negative impact on environment. Due to its nature, especially opencast …
Clay is defined as a natural, earthy, fine-grained material, largely of a group of crystalline hydrous silicate minerals known as clay minerals. The usual types of mines are open pit but underground mining is also done for clay, associated with coal deposits and more...
This thesis aims to investigate the efficacy of clay in shaping double- curved surfaces. In conventional interior design practices, Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) is commonly employed to craft sculptural elements on surfaces such as ceilings and walls. However, despite its efficiency, GRG is not environmentally sustainable.As an excellent material …

Moreover, my special motivation was teaching of my supervisor ...
The Study therefore focuses on finding ways to make small-scale gold mining sustainable by looking at the mode of operations of small-scale gold mining companies and its. …
Apart from the water impacts, mining of clay, sand and gem has created a number of other environmental problems in Sri Lanka. Table 3 summarises all documented environmental
Based on a literature review, this article presents environmental impacts of the mining (also know as the extractive) industry. The article presents details of 11 main …
Traditional construction materials, such as timber and clay, have been sourced locally and processed manually, providing good results for the embodied emissions in life cycle assessment (LCA).
This property of clay is used by the paint industry to disperse pigment (color) evenly throughout a paint. Without clay to act as a carrier, it would be difficult to evenly mix the paint base and color pigment. A mixture of a lot of clay and a little water results in a mud that can be shaped and dried to form a relatively rigid solid.
These techniques involved: (i) accurate species selection according to microhabitat characteristics; (ii) high-quality plant production; (iii) surface remodeling to improve …
