The mining and mineral process industry has had very strong demands placed on it in recent decades, as the extent of its effects on the environment has become better understood and public concern has increased. Important progress has been made in both awareness and comprehension of the problems created by mineral production and in knowledge of how to prevent, mitigate and correct them. The first half of the book covers exploration and development, extraction processes, metallurgical processing and refining, decommissioning, environmental and ecological analysis, transportation analysis, residual dispersion, protection, rehabilitation, reclamation, regulation, standards and monitoring. The second half consists of chapters devoted to specific mined commodities. Each chapter covers a commodity, its production history, the situation of orebodies, ore extraction, ore processing, specific impacts on the environment, and short- and long-term remediation methods. Case histories are used to provide detail.
