The environmental impacts considered in the study were embodied energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while the …
Mining operations require water for their functioning directly and indirectly. Since a long time mining industry has been exploiting water without realizing the adverse impact it is having on the environment and the regional ecosystem. Acid mine drainage has become a major concern associated with mining. Water contamination has caused spread of many diseases and has …
More recently, the Michigan Technological University, Department of Mining Engineering developed a report in 1982 that estimated that haulage consumes 75 percent of the total energy required in a large hypothetical iron ore mine (with a 5,000,000-ton of iron per year output and a 22-year mine lifetime).
2024121· This study adopts life cycle analysis tools to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Brazil''s iron ore sector. It is based on the assumption that when commodities are extracted strictly for export, ignoring the impacts of logistics might undervalue these products’ contribution to climate change. Therefore, we calculate the emissions associated with land use …
71· In this paper, we explore where growing global metal extraction has particularly taken effect. Using fine-grain data, we investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of …

The mining required systematic and organized work of exploitation of mineral and all related aspects, with proper usage of science and technology. Keywords: Environmental Impacts and its Management at Open Cast Iron Ore Mine, Mitigation Against Population Growth, Socio-Economic Benefits, Monitoring Schedule.
Open pit mining disturbs larger areas than underground mining, and thus has larger visual and physical impacts. As the amount of waste rock in open pit mines is commonly two to three times the amount of ore produced, tremendous volumes of waste rock are removed from the pits and deposited in areas nearby.
730· Iron ore is the most essential ingredient in steel making. However, extraction of iron ore has numerous negative impacts on the environment. Apart from the direct physical impacts on land, plants
2025612· Metal ore mining can have environmental impacts not only at mine sites but also in surrounding regions that host supporting infrastructure, and at various stages in the extraction process. The
