احصل على السعرEnvironmental effects of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. Mining can cause in erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by chemicals emitted from mining processes. These processes also affect the atmosphere through carbon emissions which contributes to climate changeIn iron ore mining, for example, most energy is required for hauling and loading, so diesel consumption is a major contributor to its GHG emissions.Transparency on greenhouse gas emissions from mining

احصل على السعرWhat effect does iron have on the environment? The mining of iron ore is highly energy intensive and causes air pollution in the form of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide from diesel generators, trucks and other equipment. The mining of iron ore also causes water pollution of heavy metals and acid change, erosion, air and water pollution and health hazards. Iron ore mining and processing of ore, affects the environment in myriad ways causing: (a) Land disturbance and change in land use pattern. (b) Affecting floral and faunal habitat. (c) Disturbing the natural watershed and drainage pattern of the area.GEO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & ITS MANAGEMENT AT OPEN CAST IRON ORE

احصل على السعرMining in Western Australia has been dominated by a select group of commodities, initially gold in central WA from the 1890s, followed by the rise of iron ore, nickel, and bauxite–alumina in the 1950s–1960s. Other commodities have also made important contributions, such as mineral sands, diamonds, coal and base metals.Many of these commodities are found in critical forest landscapes, placing forests at increased risk as demand for minerals increases.

احصل على السعرIron ore tailings (IOT) represent a major problem in the mining industry worldwide due to large volumes of waste disposed in mine sites. IOT are exposed to the environment and subjected to wind and water dispersion, even under non-catastrophic scenarios as dam collapses, and the effects of these particles to the biota are still mostly unknown.The need for low-cost raw materials is driven by the fact that iron ore tailings, a prevalent kind of hazardous solid waste, have created major environmental issues. Although many studies have focused on using iron ore tailing (IOT) in concrete and have reported positive results, readers may find it difficult to accurately assess the Concrete Made with Iron Ore Tailings as a Fine Aggregate: A Step
