Interpretation of Green Mine Evaluation Index
by Jiushuai Deng, Shuping Peng, Liang Wang, Yinli Bi, Jun Yao, and Qiongjie Wang
This book focuses on green mine evaluation. It includes green mine evaluation methods, evaluation content, evaluation indicators, etc. The "Green Mine Evaluation Index" has been issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources of China. In order to promote mining enterprises, green mine consulting service agencies, third-party evaluation agencies and mining administration personnel to better understand and practice the provisions of green mine evaluation indicators, the authors wrote this "Interpreta...
An Assessment of Mine Legacies and How to Prevent Them (SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science)
by Vladimir Pacheco Cueva
This book seeks to enrich the growing literature on mine legacies by examining a case study of a small abandoned mine in Latin America. Using a combination of Rapid Rural Appraisal and secondary source analysis, this study assessed some of the most damaging legacies of the San Sebastian mine in eastern El Salvador, compared the country's mine closure legislation against world's best practice standards and provided strategies for awareness, prevention and remediation. The most damaging legacy t...
Crystal Growth systematically presents all the fundamental aspects of this subject. It provides a mainly physical, general background of all fundamental proceses currently used in growing single crystals and thin films in industry and research laboratories dealing with semiconductors, oxides (used as lasers, constructive materials, data storage, etc.), non-linear optical dielectrics or metals. The first edition (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, Vol 36, 1984) is widely used as both a texb...
This handbook examines the science and business of kaolin mining and production in the southeastern United States. It provides an in-depth look at the many disciplines involved in kaolin production, including geology, mining, mineralogy, geochemistry, and microbiology. It summarizes available data on the geology of Georgia Kaolin and presents a regional stratigraphic framework as an aid to future mineral exploration. An overview is presented on the types and grades of kaolin, their mineralogy,...
Developments in Palygorskite-Sepiolite Research (Developments in Clay Science, #3)
The aim of this comprehenvise book is to present the most important results achieved in the research of the clay minerals palygorskite and sepiolite. Palygorskite and sepiolite have found to be useful in a huge variety of industrial and medical applications. As a result, research on these clays has been intensified during the last two decades, and important advances in their characterization have been made. The book contains contributions from distinguished scientists in the field.

Minerals as Advanced Materials II
This book is a collection of papers that are devoted to various aspects of interactions between mineralogy and material sciences. It will include reviews, perspective papers and original research papers on mineral nanostructures, biomineralization, micro- and nanoporous mineral phases as functional materials, physical and optical properties of minerals, etc. Many important materials that dominate modern technological development were known to mineralogists for hundreds of years, though their pro...
Diamonds are almost completely useless, but are prized above all other gems. Historically they have attracted crimes of passion and awful cold-blooded efficiency, have bedazzled the greatest filmstars and the most opulent courts, and provided the incentive for adventure, destruction and greed on a monumental scale. No one company is more identified with diamonds than the South African based De Beers. Until the collapse of the Iron Curtain they controlled the diamond market. After the collapse, t...
After reviewing briefly the history of the discovery and use of mineral in New Mexico, lists minerals alphabetically from acanthite, an important silver ore, to zircon, usually found microscopically in ancient and modern sediments. The articles describe the appearance, give its chemical makeup, reco
