Coal waste separation might sound deathly dull, but the waste from abandoned coal mines might be where we can find some of the rare elements needed …

The oldest method of minestone utilization is reclamation of spoil heaps by adapting them to the landscape by afforestation or agricultural management. The best method is, however, complete removal of the wastes. Hence, for many years research has been carried out to find new ways of minestone utilization to minimize disposal cost and …

Coal gangue, produced during coal mining and processing [1, 2], is one of the most extensively produced solid wastes in China [1, 3], accounting for approximately 10%‒20% of raw coal production [].The accumulation of coal gangue causes serious environmental, social, and economic problems in the coal mining area [].Heavy metals …

1. The silico-aluminous nature of activated coal mining waste led to higher silica (SiO 2) and alumina (Al 2 O 3) contents in the blended cements containing 10% and 20% ACW than in the OPC, while the lime (CaO) content in the blended cements was lower than in the reference material. 2. The addition of ACW to the cement paste raised the …

October 2, 1985 —EPA proposes in the Federal Register (50 FR 40292) to reinterpret the scope of the mining waste exclusion as it applies to mineral and ore processing wastes, leaving only large-volume processing wastes excluded. Other mineral and ore processing wastes that are hazardous would be subject to full RCRA Subtitle C (hazardous ...

thoroughfare support, the underground discharge o f limited coal mining wastes and underground coal gasification (Coetzee et al. 2002; Aken et al. 2012). 3.1.

2.2 Types of Mining Wastes. Operational challenges in managing groundwater and mitigation of environmental impacts associated with water release vary with the type of mine waste under consideration. Assessment of the potential environmental impact associated with water infiltration through mine waste requires consideration of physical and ...

Over 1500 spoil tips are formed on the territory of the Donets Coal Basin, having a bulk volume of more than a thousand million m 3.The spoil tips occupy an area exceeding 8000 ha where the previously existed soils of steppes and farming lands are irretrievably annihilated.A coal-containing body of rock in spoil tips often heats up …

During the coal mining process, a significant amount of coal wastes is produced, including (1) mining wastes, (2) washery wastes, and (3) secondary processing wastes. Since 2017, the annual global CMWs are estimated to be 315 million tons for …

A typology of the known impacts arising from mine voids and wastes in coal mining districts has been developed, which recognizes many subcategories of impacts under five major headings: air pollution, fire hazards, ground deformation, water pollution, and water resource depletion. A robust understanding of geochemical processes is key to ...

This study probe the probable impacts of coal mining pollution and its impacts on human's health and environment. A total of 144 samples including coal and coal wastes, soil, plants, foods, and water were collected from the Hancheng county and countryside of Shaanxi, China. All the samples were analyzed for trace elements using …

This paper provides an overview of coal waste management practices with two case studies and an estimate of management cost in 2010 US dollars. Processing of as-mined coal typically results in …

The average production of coal mining wastes is about 15% of coal production, which varies from 10 to 15% with the change of geological and mining conditions. Therefore, it is estimated that the annual production of coal mining wastes is about 315 million tons for underground coal mining since 2007, which accounts for a …

The results showed that all activated coal mining wastes exhibited high pozzolanic activity. The identification and evolution of hydrated phases with the hydration time in activated kaolin/Ca(OH) 2 system were directly related to the origin and nature of the starting coal mining waste and not to the activation temperature itself. Finally, the ...

Waste from coal mining is managed, however only in 44%. Among the waste related to coal mining and processing, the following types of waste are distinguished: flotation, slag, bottom ash and fly ash. Post-flotation waste may be subjected to the enrichment process; slag - can be used in construction as a material used in civil …

Coal mining waste may be classified on the basis of its origin in a mine processing scheme: aggregate wastes include overburden and coarse rejects separated from the coal, and washery wastes comprise the finer fractions derived from the washing plant (Fig. 2). Aggregate wastes and coarser washery wastes are typically disposed in …

Historically coal mining wastes have been viewed as heterogenous and hazard-prone geomaterials. Given that failures of colliery tips and tailing dams are …

Historically coal mining wastes have been viewed as heterogenous and hazard-prone geomaterials. Given that failures of colliery tips and tailing dams are reported on a regular basis, reclamation of coal mining wastes from storage facilities is increasingly being considered. There is a resistance to the use of coal mining waste in construction …

More than 100 million tons of coal ash and other waste products are produced by coal-fired power plants in the United States every year (see a map here). About a third of that waste is reused in some …

However, coal mine activity is criticized for its harmful environmental impact and especially for the large amount of wastes produced during the coal mining and processing. For example, in China, the world's largest consumer of coal, 4.5 billion tons of wastes are stockpiled in hundreds of dumps ( Fan et al., 2014 ).

The mining industry is globally criticized for generating large amount of solid wastes often with a potential environmental impact. This study presents a feasible approach of recovering residual coal from coal mine waste rocks (CMWR) and reusing the derived tailings to produce ecofriendly fired bricks. The first step aims at the production of ...

Abstract Domestic and foreign static tests are considered to assess the impact of mineral waste from coal mining and processing on water objects when waste is placed in dumps or used for reclamation purposes. The results of static tests according to GOST R 58914–2020 for three samples of mineral waste taken from hard and brown coal …

Coal mining industries generate hundreds of millions of tonnes of waste coal, rock and cleaning waste stream containing fine coal (a by-product of previous coal processing …

INTRODUCTION Coal mining wastes consist of fragments of rocks accompanying coal beds or brought to the surface during the development of mine shafts and road- ways. Underground coal mining in every country produces huge quantities of waste materials, which RECEIVED 1 SEPTEMBER 1994; ACCEPTED 2 FEBRUARY 1995.

Mining wastes, • Tailings, and • Secondary processing wastes. Mining wastes, also known as extraction wastes, overburden or coal spoil (CS), are rocks and minerals generated from the mining and preparation plants resulting from opening up the main mineral deposit, composed mainly of cap and interlayer rocks.

1. The silico-aluminous nature of activated coal mining waste led to higher silica (SiO 2) and alumina (Al 2 O 3) contents in the blended cements containing 10% and 20% ACW than in the OPC, while the lime (CaO) content in the blended cements was lower than in the reference material. 2.

The objective of this study is to define the mineralogy of coal mining wastes collected in waste piles that were under self-combustion in order to determine the major acid producers and neutralizers, and consequently to determine the net acid production potential of unburned and burned coal mine wastes by selecting the most appropriate AMD ...

Mine wastes show great heterogeneity in their texture and physico-chemical properties in metallic mining area. The wide range of mine spoil characteristics is related to differences in mineralogical substrate and composition of mine residue which can come from different ore minerals and veins as well as from the exploitation procedures, plant …
