Mining produces a lot of waste which should be disposed of properly. Improper waste disposal leads to soil, water and air pollution. There are various types of mining. They include coal mining, metal, landfill mining, oil and gas extraction and non-metal ore mining. This means there are also different types of mining waste. These include: …Web

2.5. Processing. A number of studies deals not only with what and how much but also with how C&DW can be processed (Kleemann et al., 2017).The location of C&DW processing seems critical with respect to volume, availability, transport and other factors (Coelho and de Brito, 2013b; Ulubeyli et al., 2017; Xue et al., 2017).On-site processing is …Web

This section reviews current and emerging enabling technologies that span the life cycle phases of C&DW management, including preparation, end-of-life management, sorting and separation, and reprocessing (Fig. 1).We present key steps of each life cycle stage and briefly introduce the working mechanism of technologies involved in each life …Web
