Taylor & Francis Ltd Hard Rock Mine Reclamation
Book SynopsisHard rock mines have significant effects on the territories where they operate, through both infrastructure construction as well as resource use. Due to their extractive activities, these mines store large quantities of wastes at the surface, which can be both physically and chemically unstable. Reclamation aims to return a mine site to a satisfactory state, meaning that the site should not threaten human health or security, should not generate in the long term any contaminant that could significantly affect the surrounding environment, and should be aesthetically acceptable to communities. This book focuses on the reclamation of waste storage areas, which constitute the main source of pollution during and after mine operations, and especially issues with acid mine drainage and neutral contaminated drainage. Features: Provides fundamental information and describes practical methods to reclaim mine-waste facilities Compares the different methodsTable of ContentsGeneration of Acid Mine Drainage Prediction of Acid Mine Drainage Water, Gas, and Heat Movement in Cover Materials Low Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Covers Store-and-Release Covers Water Covers Covers with Capillary Barrier Effects Elevated Water Table with Monolayer Covers Insulation Covers Monitoring the Performance of Mine Site Reclamation Passive Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage at the Reclamation Stage Revegetation of Mine Sites Alternative and Innovative Integrated Mine Waste Management Approaches Long-Term Evolution of Reclamation Performance

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Modern Protective Structures
Book SynopsisIn today''s world, reasonably predictable military operations have been replaced by low intensity conflicts-less predictable terrorist activities carried out by determined individuals or small groups that possess a wide range of backgrounds and capabilities. Because of the threats posed by this evolving type of warfare, civil engineers and emergency personnel face new challenges in designing facilities to protect lives and property and in conducting effective rescue operations and forensic investigations. Addressing these needs, Modern Protective Structures develops realistic guidelines for the analysis, design, assessment, retrofit, and research of protected facilities.After introducing a comprehensive risk management approach, the author provides a general background on explosive devices and their capabilities as well as explosive effects and the processes that generate them. He then discusses the effects of conventional and nuclear explosions. The book subsequently considersTable of ContentsIntroduction. Explosive Devices and Explosions.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mining and Development in Sierra Leone
Book SynopsisMining and Development in Sierra Leone examines how different actors in Sierra Leone use the effects of large-scale mining to navigate and transform the challenging conditions of life.The book offers an in-depth analysis of the processes of development and change that mark resource extraction environments globally. Across the world, resource extraction is assigned an important role in development agendas. Yet a key question is how development opportunities are given shape and accessed, and how extraction's negative impacts are dealt with in actual politics and practices. Set in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone during a global mining boom, this book shows how mining-cum-development's multifaceted effects materialize. By taking the micro-politics of large-scale mining as its principle focus, the book analyzes a range of the most perplexing phenomena of life in Sierra Leone, and scrutinizes the intricate and contentious processes of change unfolding in mining environments.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Natural Stone and World Heritage
Book SynopsisHeritage stones are those stones that have been used for many years, even centuries, to build the historic buildings and monuments of places around the world. Some of these stones are still being used for construction, but others are no longer used, either because quarries were exhausted or closed or because architects and constructors do not know about their particularities and importance. Several scientific papers discuss many of these stones, and a number of papers are currently being prepared, but this book is the first to emphasize the importance and significance of natural stone in the construction of a city, Salamanca, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1988. In light of this recognition, Salamanca has a duty to preserve all historic buildings that make up the city by restoring those that are starting to deteriorate centuries after their construction. This book describes the buildings, the stones (all quarried centuries ago in the surrounding area), and the sTable of ContentsIntroduction. World Heritage Sites. Salamanca: a World Heritage Site. The buildings in Salamanca. The Stones of Salamanca. Stone Testing. Sedimentary stones. Metamorphic stones. Igneous stones. The Quarries. Heritage Stones. Heritage Stones in Salamanca.

MIT Press Ltd Extraction Empire Sourcing the Scales Systems and
Book SynopsisHow Canada became an empire in its own right and how Canadian life came to be mediated through mineral extraction.Extraction is the process and practice that defines Canada, at home and abroad. Of the nearly 20,000 mining projects in the world from Africa to Latin America, more than half are Canadian operated. Not only does the mining economy employ close to 400,000 people in Canada, it contributed $57 billion CAD to Canada's GDP in 2014 alone. Globally, more than 75 percent of the world's mining firms are based in Canada. The scale of these statistics naturally extends the logic of Canada's historical legacy as state, nation, and now as global resource empire. Canada, once a far-flung northern outpost of the British Empire, has become an empire in its own right. This book examines both the historic and contemporary Canadian culture of extraction, with essays, interviews, archival material, and multimedia visualizations. The essayists and interviewees—who include
