Bio-Geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation

Bio-geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation deals with biological, physical, chemical and engineering approaches for reclamation of mine waste. Mining has negative effects on natural resources, and deteriorates the quality of surrounding environments. This book provides coverage across different types of mining industries, which are currently creating industrial deserts here on earth, overloaded with technogenic waste. Soil washing and cleaning has historically been cost prohibitive. Bio-geotechnologies for Mine Site Rehabilitation offers cost effective strategies and approaches for contaminated sites as well as remediation and rehabilitation methods for contaminated soils and waste dumps. Deals with global and holistic approaches of abandoned mine land rehabilitationIncludes mine waste rehabilitation case studies from around the world Covers multiple technologies such as bioremediation of metalliferous soilProvide strategies for sustainable ecosystem on mine spoil dumpsOffers novel methods for the remediation of acid mine drainage INDICE: Section 1 1.
