·Soil quality monitoring in mining rehabilitation areas is a crucial step to validate the effectiveness of the adopted recovery strategy especially in critical areas for environmental conservation such as the Brazilian Amazon The use of portable X ray fluorescence pXRF spectrometry allows a rapid quantification of several soil chemical elements with low cost and
·The lack of Environmental Impact Assessments in the Indian sandstone mining industry After searching for literature on the environmental impact of sandstone mining in India only one piece of literature was found that assessed the impact of sandstone mining in India 2 there appears to be a significant lack of research into the subject
·This study collected sandstone samples from the ore bearing aquifer outside a typical mining area in a uranium mine exploited using the acid ISL AISL technology also referred to as an AISL uranium mine in northern China Uranium surface processes with sandstone and volcanic rocks in acidic and alkaline solutions J Colloid Interface Sci
·The mechanical properties of rock materials significantly depend on their size due to their heterogeneity and the spatial randomness of joint development—a factor often neglected in pillar design and stability analyses within mining engineering The rock samples examined herein were 100 mm in diameter and 100 mm 200 mm or 300 mm in height This
·The argillaceous sandstone samples were collected from the exposed surface of the mercury thallium mine after mining Fig 1 A total of three profiles S1 S3 were collected at depths of 0 7 cm and each profile collected three samples According to the different degrees of weathering the samples were described as a grey black external layer a brown yellow middle
·The prominence of sandstone in this region is primarily owing to palaeo basin infilling during the late Carboniferous and a climate dominated by seasonal precipitation patterns both now and in
·Uranium ore refers to naturally occurring rock or mineral deposits that contain a sufficient concentration of uranium a radioactive element to make its extraction economically viable Uranium is a relatively rare element and is typically found in trace amounts in the Earth s crust Uranium ore is typically mined and processed to extract uranium for various purposes
