Background: Barapukuria coal mine which has been operating from 2002 is situated in such a location that is dependent on agriculture. Pollution from Coal mining poses a huge risk to the ecosystem and surrounding soil. So, there could be some impact of the Barapukuria coal mine on the surrounding soil. The main aim of this study is to identify the soil quality of the study area and also see how ...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) causes several environmental problems in many countries. The use of biological processes with sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has great potential within environmental biotechnology. The aim of this study was to develop a bioremediation system, using a mixed culture of SRB, for the treatment of AMD from São Domingos mine. Sulphate and heavy metals (Fe, Cu and Zn) concen...

in the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. in 2-d analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

The new copper processing plant of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex consists of two parallel circuits. After a primary crushing, the ore is sent to a SAG mill, and the product is further ground in a ball mill. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is fed to a flotation circuit that contains 8 rougher tank cells (RCS130), 3 cleaner cells (RCS50), 5 scavenger cells (RCS50), and a flotation column (as r...

Remote sensing image analysis can be carried out at the per-pixel (hard) and sub-pixel (soft) scales. The former refers to the purity of image pixels, while the latter refers to the mixed spectra resulting from all objects composing of the image pixels. The spectral unmixing methods have been developed to decompose mixed spectra. Data-driven unmixing algorithms utilize the reference data called...

The Christmas copper mine is in the Banner mining district, Gila County, Arizona. It is 8 miles north of Winkelman and 22 miles south of Globe. The mine was opened in 1905; to the end of 1943 it had produced about 55,340,000 pounds of copper. In 1946 it was operated under lease. The ore is high-lime fluxing ore, required by the smelter at Hayden. The ore produced during 1942 averaged 2.16 perce...
