Present day society and industry fabric depends on supply of all raw materials from mining of minerals and subsequent processing and refining and ore smelting. While, we all agree, that mining and supply of raw materials for need of society is essential, it is also necessary to do this with responsibility for sustainable basis. This book attempts to focus on this aspects. The book comprising 14 chapters begins with and overview, then formation and geology of India, the major metallic and industrial minerals, the UNFC for minerals, ground and surface water management , site selection for tailing pond, closure of mine, the distinctive nature of mineral deposits in relation to environment. The book concludes by making some pragmatic suggestions for better investment in mining sector.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores the drivers and impacts of sand mining in the coastal areas of Lagos Nigeria. Based on empirical evidence, sand mining activity is driven by a number of urbanization-related factors while sand mining impacts are underlined by a number of sustainability-related factors. Four urbanization components describe the drivers of sand mining and four sustainability components describe the impacts of sand mining in Lagos. This book concludes on the puzzling dilemma of sand mining that supports thriving urbanization but undermines environmental sustainability in Lagos. Of course, sand mining has strong implications for environmental sustainability in Lagos coastal areas. This book is of immense benefit to environmental planners, city administrators, students of environmental science and the general public who have regards for environmental management.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a sequel to'Deep-Sea Mining: Resource Potential, Technical and Environmental Considerations' (2017) and 'Environmental Issues of Deep-Sea Mining: Impacts, Consequences and Policy Perspectives' (2019), and aims to provide a comprehensive volume on different perspectives of deep-sea mining from specialists around the world. The work is timely, as deep-sea mineralscontinue to enthuse researchers involved in activities such as ascertaining their potential as alternative sources for critical metals for green energyand other industrial applications, as well as technology development for their sustainable exploration and exploitation, while addressing environmental concerns.With a steady increase in the number of contractors having exclusive rights over large tracts of seafloor in the 'Area', i.e. area beyond national jurisdictions, the International Seabed Authority, mandated with the responsibility of regulating such activities, is in the process of developing a code for exploitation of deep-sea minerals. These, coupled with growing interest among private entrepreneurs, investment companies and policy makers, underscore the need for updated information to be made available in one place on the subject of deep-sea mining. The book evaluates the potential and sustainability of mining for deep-sea minerals compared to other land-based deposits, the technologies needed formining andprocessingof ores, the approach towardsenvironmental monitoring and management,as well asthe regulatory frameworks and legal challenges to manage deep-sea mining activities. The bookis expected to serve as an important reference for all stakeholders including researchers, contractors, mining companies, regulators and NGOs involved in deep-sea mining.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the social, environmental, and political sustainability of Peru's mining industry as it seeks to garner the benefits of the energy transition between now and 2050.As the global shift toward net-zero emissions accelerates, Peru is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the energy transition, thanks to its abundant reserves of critical minerals. This growing global demand presents an unprecedented opportunity for the country to harness its natural wealth to support sustainable development. Yet, the experiences of the past 25 years have shown that maximizing these benefits requires more than resource abundance alone. Social and environmental challenges have too often accompanied mining expansion, leading to significant conflicts around new projects. This book moves the conversation forward by offering a deeper understanding of the structural challenges posed by modern industrial mining and identifying the public policies needed to address them. It goes beyond the traditional 'resource curse' narrative to explore how mining can serve as a driver of inclusive growth - provided it is responsibly managed, transparently governed, and aligned with the needs of affected communities. A key message is that the future of mining in Peru depends on building a stronger, more democratic, and participatory state: one capable of representing all sectors of society, not just corporate interests. By learning from past missteps and committing to institutional reforms that promote dialogue, accountability, and equitable development, Peru can chart a new path. The goal is not simply to avoid conflict, but to contribute to a governance model and the building of institutional mechanisms capable of meeting and resolving variant interests in society, and that enable mining to contribute meaningfully to national well-being and long-term sustainability. While Peru provides key examples of the problems arising from mining development, it typifies problems encountered elsewhere not just in Latin America but further afield. It will therefore be of interest to a far wider readership concerned with the extractive industries.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, Latin American development, and natural resource management more widely, as well as those involved in government and NGOs.…

Alphen aan den Rijn, Kluwer Law International B.V., [2024]. XXI,284 pp. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. (Aerospace law and policy series, vol. 25). [ISBN: 9789403533179]. - New unused book.Protecting the Last Frontier is a book seeking to anticipate the inevitable legal framework that will need to be put in place, particularly considering the necessity to create legal standards to support the environmental sustainability of space resource activities. Space resource activities-better known as "space mining"-are the next step in humankind's utilization of outer space. Previous space activities have belatedly caused us to realize that fragile environments do not end with Earth's atmosphere. Today, the most striking problem is the agglomeration and increasing generation of nonfunctional space objects (space debris) in orbit. Tomorrow, with the development of new space activities, unanticipated environmental problems will arise beyond Earth orbit. - Text in English.…
