“…The storage of industrial hazardous wastes is considered particularly challenging by the scientific community. Among them, red mud is one of the most critical, being already the cause of severe ecological accidents . This waste is generated during alumina production in the Bayer process, which is responsible for more than 95 % of all alumina produced in the world.…”

“…For instance, the dam wall of Ajka Alumina plant's red mud reservoir in Hungary, collapsed on October 4th 2010. As the result, 10 people were killed, over 100 were injured, and the lakes, rivers and surrounding ecosystems were significantly polluted [122][123][124]. In Australia, disposal of 26.4 Mt of red mud was reported in 2018, at sites in Queensland and Western Australia.…”

Opportunities for Mineral Carbonation in Australia’s Mining Industry

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) via mineral carbonation is an effective method for long-term storage of carbon dioxide and combating climate change. Implemented at a large-scale, it provides a viable solution to harvesting and storing the modern crisis of GHGs emissions. To date, technological and economic barriers have inhibited broad-scale utilisation of mineral carbonation at industrial scales. This paper outlines the mineral carbonation process; discusses drivers and barriers of mineral carbonation deployment in Australian mining; and, finally, proposes a unique approach to commercially viable CCUS within the Australian mining industry by integrating mine waste management with mine site rehabilitation, and leveraging relationships with local coal-fired power station. This paper discusses using alkaline mine and coal-fired power station waste (fly ash, red mud, and ultramafic mine tailings, i.e., nickel, diamond, PGE (platinum group elements), and legacy asbestos mine tailings) as the feedstock for CCUS to produce environmentally benign materials, which can be used in mine reclamation. Geographical proximity of mining operations, mining waste storage facilities and coal-fired power stations in Australia are identified; and possible synergies between them are discussed. This paper demonstrates that large-scale alkaline waste production and mine site reclamation can become integrated to mechanise CCUS. Furthermore, financial liabilities associated with such waste management and site reclamation could overcome many of the current economic setbacks of retrofitting CCUS in the mining industry. An improved approach to commercially viable climate change mitigation strategies available to the mining industry is reviewed in this paper.

“…История знает множество примеров трансграничных экологических аварий и катастроф. Среди наиболее значимых можно выделить разлив красного шлама в Венгрии в речную систему Дуная [1], которая расположена на территории 10 стран, пожар на нефтехранилище Бансфилд в Великобритании с распространением дыма до территории Франции и других стран региона. Ярким примером также является авария на Чернобыльской АЭС в Украине с атмосферным переносом радиоактивных веществ далеко за пределы локализации взрыва -от Беларуси до Норвегии и Швеции.…”

Интенсификация антропогенной деятельности и, как ее следствие, глобализация экологических проблем обусловливают актуальность вопросов трансграничного загрязнения. Компоненты природной среды, представляющие собой интернациональные системы, требуют особого правового регулирования. В рамках исследования выявлены угрозы, возможности, сильные и слабые стороны экологического законодательства ЕС как составляющей международного права, предложены меры по оптимизации нормативно-правовой базы ЕС в области трансграничного загрязнения. Ключевые слова: трансграничное загрязнение, европейское право, международное право, экологическое право, охрана окружающей среды.
