Utilization of Mineral Waste: A Method for Expanding the Mineral Resource Base of a Mining and Smelting Company

Evaluation of Anthropogenic Substrate Variability Based on Non-Destructive Testing of Ground Anchors

“…This requires a specific understanding of geodiversity, which synthesizes information on the abiotic layers and reveals the spatial interactions and mutual connections [23,24]. Only the following types of soil can be considered for the construction subsoil: anthropogenic soils in tiers I and II, present in the form of post-mining and post-energy sites [14], the construction debris of the re-cultivated excavation sites in tier III, and macrolevel areas. It is recommended to increase the development of foundations with low load per unit area, with the type of foundation adjusted to the heterogeneous subsoil, namely, a strip foundation with enhanced reinforcement, grillage or slab foundation.…”

Renewable-Resource Technologies in Mining and Metallurgical Enterprises Providing Environmental Safety

“…In view of the decrease in the average useful component content of natural deposits and their comparability with anthropogenic formations in terms of volumes (Table 1) and the amount of useful components (Tables 2 and 3) in human-made accumulations, it is advisable to classify man-made formations as deposits [22]. Man-made waste from mining, processing, and metallurgical industries contains useful components and constitutes man-made georesources [23][24][25]. With an increase in consumer demand for extracted raw materials, it is necessary to increase the requirements for the completeness and complexity of the use of the mineral resource base, and to develop a new scientific and methodological approach to the broad recovery of mineral resources and their preservation [26][27][28].…”

Effect of the addition of waste basalt fibers on concrete shrinkage

“…Potential reuse of CDW (construction demolition waste) is one of the leading areas of sustainable development [8] in construction and mining industry [9]. Reuse of spoil material and by-products Semm to be extremly attractive idea for mining industry that produces a lot of waste and needs large amounts of backfill material for safe mining production [10][11][12]. In addition to the economic aspects [11][12], in some cases special attention should be paid to the durability of reused materials [13,14] as well as health aspects.…”

At the same timeregulations are being raised all over the world, imposing on companies and investors the use of recycled or reused building materials.…”

“…In addition to the use of recycled materials as semi-finished products for concrete mix, research is also conducted on the possibility of using it in the other areas. Apart from the widespread use of pieces of rubber from car tires as filling in artificial surfaces of football fields or in communication construction [6,7], research is conducted on the possibility of using construction waste in geotechnics and miningwith particular emphasis on the lack of negative environmental impact [9][10][11]15].…”
