Efficiency of mining and processing waste utilization in mining processes

The issues of human interaction with the nature and preservation of the environment as a reaction to man-made interference in its ecosystems have gained priority and relevance in comparison with the other areas of human activities in the coming post-industrial period. The progress of mining production in the context of the growing industrial potential makes it necessary to combine the capabilities of industrial monitoring and technologies to dispose of industrial waste with introduction of the resulting products in the natural material cycles. Characteristic correlations have been established between the production sectors and the efficiency of controlling the ratio of the man-made and natural factors of industrial production in a mining region. The mechanism of the combined effect of fine-grained and gaseous mining waste has been determined. Industrial technologies of mining and processing of minerals are proved to have a decisive impact on the condition of the environment in the mining regions. An algorithm technologies is offered to evaluate the efficiency of waste disposal. A set of technologies for the disposal of mineral waste is proposed and promising areas for their implementation are identified. The validity and reliability of the research results, conclusions and recommendations have been confirmed. The results of the study may be required when modernizing technologies for minng and processing of metal raw materials at existing operations and when designing new resource and nature-saving technologies.
