This paper reviews some of the recent challenges in the sustainable processing of primary mineral resources and discusses the technical prospects for meeting these challenges. The second part describes the integrated approach of geometallurgy being a prerequisite for improving resource ef・…iency along the production chain of minerals …

Deep-sea mining is the process of retrieving mineral deposits from the deep seabed – the ocean below 200m. Depleting terrestrial deposits and rising demand for metals mean deep-sea mining may begin soon, even though research suggests that it could destroy habitats and wipe out species. Deep-sea mining should be halted until the criteria specified by …

Sustainable Mining and Processing of Mineral Resources. A special issue of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050). This special issue belongs to the section "Resources and Sustainable Utilization". Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed …

Mineral extraction can impact green growth in developing economies through a complex network of transmission channels. Firstly, it directly affects the environment, leading to ecological degradation, soil erosion, habitat destruction, and water pollution. These environmental disruptions can compromise the sustainability of local ecosystems ...

1. Introduction. Mineral resources constitute a vital material foundation for human survival and sustainable economic development, and their responsible exploitation is conducive to fostering the harmonious coexistence of resources, environment, and society (Woodworth, 2016).Throughout history, cities with a focus on resource …

However, not all of the applications are economic right now. The mining industry will likely need to invest in further research and development in the areas of mine waste reuse to make some of the methods workable at scale. 3. Eco-Friendly Equipment. Mining companies wanting to reduce their environmental impact can switch to more eco-friendly ...

Water used by mining enterprises needs to be comprehensively recovered and utilized to achieve clean production. This requires the effective treatment of mineral processing wastewater. Wastewater produced during non-ferrous metal mineral processing contains a complex mixture of pollutants at high concentrations, making …

In summary, the Special Issue "The Latest Green and Sustainable Development of Mineral Processing and Extraction" is aimed at communicating novel research for the reduction of the ...

Hence, the challenge of "Sustainable Development in the Mines and Minerals sector" is to ensure "environmental responsibility" during mining and …

The World Bank Report in 2020 highlighted 17 mineral commodities that appear essential for the clean energy transition to renewables.

The USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) delivers unbiased science and information to increase understanding of ore formation, undiscovered mineral resource potential, production, consumption, and how minerals interact with the environment. MRP supports data collection and research on a wide variety of non-fuel mineral resources that are ...

Energy. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) is mandated to ensure the transparent and efficient regulation of South Africa's mineral resources and minerals industry, and the secure and sustainable provision of energy in support of socio-economic development. Several Acts regulate the mining, minerals and energy sectors.

Climate change mitigation will create new natural resource and supply chain opportunities and dilemmas, because substantial amounts of raw materials will be required to build new low-carbon energy devices and infrastructure ().However, despite attempts at improved governance and better corporate management, procurement of many mineral …

Analysing the meaning of the term 'sustainable development', it should be noted that it gains particular resonance in the case of mining that is activity connected with the acquisition of various kinds of natural resources. An integral feature of this activity is the fact that it applies to non-renewable resources.

It considers the task ahead to promote responsible and sustainable development of mineral resources, and offers vital insights for policy makers, including six key IEA recommendations for a new, …

Another sustainable mining framework transitions from the emphasis on the environmental footprint of mining operations to responsible management of non-fuel mineral resources throughout their entire life cycle, including use phase and end of life, with attendant implications for reducing the quantity of mined material and preserving …

The authors have argued that a key element of sustainable mining is the mineral resource itself (Lèbre and Corder, 2015), a resource that is finite and non-renewable. They also argued, along with other authors (e.g. Ayres et al., 2002, Fonseca et al., 2013, Laurence, 2011), that most sustainability frameworks tend to overlook that …

The authors have argued that a key element of sustainable mining is the mineral resource itself (Lèbre and Corder, 2015), a resource that is finite and non-renewable. ... This results in an increased mineral processing efficiency, potentially reduced energy and water requirements (Gunson et al., ...

This trend is forecasted to steadily increase in the future, as we struggle to meet the mineral resource needs of a growing global population that is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.8 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by the end of the century. Worldwide transitions towards clean energy and electric vehicles will also accelerate the ...
