However, is this …
DetailsDec 01, 2014· The prediction of ground water flow at different working level is important for the excavation of ore below water table in opencast mines. Different analytical methods have been discussed for estimating water inflows for mine (Singh and Atkins, 1985a, Singh and Atkins, 1985b).Rational method, time-area method, tangent method and Young and …
DetailsGround water constitutes a significant operational problem and potential hazard in open-pit and underground mining. The pressure of ground water in geologic discontinuities adversely affects the safety of height and slope angles of open-pit mines, justifying measures to reduce ground-water pressures in their vicinity. The principal hazard in …
DetailsFeb 16, 2016· However, the construction of a cover layer in open cast coal mines in Indonesia is evaluated in a few studies. Many open cast coal mines in Indonesia have been engaged on introducing cover system to prevent AMD; though, there are several problems in construction of cover system in the mines [5] [15] [16] .
DetailsEnvironmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...
Detailssolid mine waste from the Nui Beo open pit coal mines that is dumped as sidehill fill. In the past, waste produced by the Nui Beo open pit coal mines has been dumped without considering environmental impacts. Environmental problems at the dump site are dust emissions into the air and contaminated surface water flow during the rainy season. Dust
DetailsAnswer (1 of 3): Perhaps the biggest is dust loading into the atmosphere, but there are a host of environment impacts; each situation has its own unique aspect with varying degrees of the following, so the impacts are not listed in order of magnitude: Removing natural and geological overburden r...
DetailsOpen-cast mining changes geological, hydrological and geotechnical conditions. It influences the existing ecological system and landscape. It influences the existing ecological system and landscape. The dust and noise affect not only the atmosphere and soil, but also the whole human living space in the exploited territories.
DetailsDec 31, 2019· Water problem in open cast mining 1.Open cast mining without relevant water problem Frequently this is the case in the initial phases of many mining operations, or where the working is not too deep. The only water inflow come from superficial acquifers or from the weathered zone. 23. 2. Open pit mining below piezometric line In this …
DetailsJan 27, 2021· Dissent over evaporation processes have been rumbling for years, and many are saying operations have directly triggered a water crisis. The San Cristóbal Mine in Bolivia, said to use 50,000 litres of water per day, has even been labeled an 'environmental and social disaster', while the Mexican state of Sonora (where lithium deposits have …
DetailsJul 07, 2015· The mining industry is able to guarantee constant public security during open-cast mining activities and to offer an effective after-use of the land when the mines are closed. The most important measures to that end are the building of secure slopes and tipping areas, the regulation of water quality and water balance, the creation of an ...
DetailsFeb 03, 2022· Loss of agricultural and forestland - In case of open cast mining there will be complete loss of agricultural land and deforestation in and around the pit. Water pollution - Water pumped into mines can affect local water table depths, resulting in the release of acidic mining water into surface waters. The damage of natural drains and waste ...
DetailsOpen cast mines. The lignite deposits of North Dakota and Montana extend into Canada as far as Saskatchewan. Canadian deposits are also located in Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, and Manitoba. Production by open-cast mining, ca3.5 x 10 t in 1975, was 10.8 x 10 t in 1989. [Pg.154]
