  • The Environmental Impact of Mining (Different Mining

      Mining remains an essential and growing part of the modern industry By some estimates, it makes up nearly 45% of the total global economy, and mineral production continues to increase as demand for raw materials grows around the world However, many mining techniques still in use can have serious impacts on both the mining site itself and the surrounding environment  One round of yeastinduced chemical precipitation showed greater than 85% removal of copper, mercury and lead and 30–50% removal of cadmium and zinc (Fig 3c) These results are consistent with Using yeast to sustainably remediate and extract Scattered literature is harnessed to critically review the possible sources, chemistry, potential biohazards and best available remedial strategies for a number of heavy metals (lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, mercury and nickel) commonly found in contaminated soils The principles, advantages and disadvantages of immobilization, soil washing and phytoremediation techniques Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils: A Review of   Natural revegetation of a miningaffected area may take hundreds of years, while phytomining offers a relatively fast approach for the restoration of degraded lands (ie cutting the restoration duration to several years) (Table 3) (Sheoran et al, 2009) The plant cover minimizes wind erosion and runoff, and the rhizosphere also reduces the A review of green remediation strategies for heavy   The runoff from mining heaps of active and abandoned mines can be extremely acidic, with pH values reaching as low as pH 2 Chemical and biological oxidation of the abundant mineral pyrite (FeS 2) occurs after the unearthing of pyritecontaining rock formations and results in an acidification of the dump material The Effect of Industrial Heavy Metal Pollution on
