Sustainability in the Mineral and Energy Sectors
«
"The book is an extremely important reference for the problem of brownfield sites and their remediation, arguably a definitive work."
—Neil Bose, University of Tasmania, Australia"This book deliberates integrated innovative research to address the challenges of mining, mineral processing and metallurgical industries. It is a source of contemporary knowledge and unique expertise covering various subjects like recycling of precious and rare earth metals from electronic waste, mining environment, wastewater treatment, alternative energy resources, socioeconomic and risk management. The contributors are eminent representatives of industry, academia and government bodies from different parts of the world. This book is a boon for mineral and metallurgical experts looking for innovative ideas and solutions for sustainable growth. The concepts like waste to wealth, carbon foot print, zero waste and green chemistry were emphasized throughout the book. It clearly reflects the interdisciplinary approach which is appropriate to deal with the challenges faced by the minerals and energy sector. This book also provides an overview on new paradigms for sustainable mineral processing, prospects of nuclear and solar energy, integrated waste management practices for sustainability. It is indeed a pride of all concern technocrats, scientists and academicians dealing with mineral and energy sector to have copy of this book in their shelf. I strongly recommend this book on Sustainability in the Mineral and Energy Sectors for all Mineral and Metallurgical engineers, technocrats and policy makers."

Sustainable practices within the mining and energy sectors are assuming greater significance due to uncertainty and change within the global economy and safety, security, and health concerns. This book examines sustainability issues facing the mining and energy sectors by addressing six major themes: Mining and Mineral Processing; Metallurgy and Recycling; Environment; Energy; Socioeconomic and Regulatory; and Sustainable Materials and Fleets. Emphasizing an integrated transdisciplinary approach, it deliberates on optimizing mining productivity and energy efficiency and discusses integrated waste management practices. It discusses risk management, cost cutting, and integration of sustainable practices for long-term business value. It gives a comprehensive outlook for sustainable mineral futures from academic and industry perspectives covering mine to mill optimization, waste, risk and water management, improved efficiencies in mining tools and equipment, and performance indicators for sustainable developments. It covers how innovation and research underpin management of natural resources including sustainable carbon management.
*Focuses on mining and mineral processing, metallurgy and recycling, the environment, energy, socioeconomic and regulatory issues, and sustainable materials and fleets.
*Describes metallurgy and recycling and uses economic, environmental and social parameter analyses to identify areas for improvement in iron, steel, aluminium, lead, zinc, copper, and gold production.
*Discusses current research on mining, performance indicators for sustainable development, sustainability in mining equipment, risk and safety management, and renewable energy resources
*Covers alternative and conventional energy sources for the mineral sector as well water treatment and remediation and energy sustainability in mining.
*Provides an overview of sustainable carbon management.
