Abstract. There has been growing concern among the public over the environmental impacts of the copper (Cu) mining and mineral processing industries. …
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Development projects in the past were undertaken without any consideration to their environmental consequences. In view of the colossal damage to the environment, governments and public are now concerned about the environmental impacts of developmental activities. Thus, to assess the …
Copper mining can serve as a case study to analyse the measurable pathways by which mining contributes to climate change through direct and indirect …
Step 2: Scoping. Scoping is the second step in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. The purpose of scoping is to define the scope of the assessment, which involves identifying the environmental, social, and economic impacts that need to be evaluated, as well as the methods and resources that will be used to gather and analyze …
Noise emissions are a significant environmental impact caused by the mining industry in all technological phases of surface mining, mineral processing, and waste disposal. This paper presents the role of noise impact assessment and control in large-scale surface mining operations. Mine planning develops the model of mining …
Environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs), which evaluate the impacts of a proposed project and alternatives, can support decision making by providing an understanding of present environmental conditions and future consequences of proposed actions. ESIAs can support the development of mitigation measures and compensation …
For a joint optimization of the economic performance and environmental impact of mining operations, the life cycle assessment (LCA)–geometallurgical approach relies on three components and/or ...

In this study, the environmental impacts and economic costs throughout the two major copper hydrometallurgical routes in China, including heap leaching and heap-agitation leaching, are analyzed and compared using the life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) technique. The life cycle inventory compiled from the annual …
The climate change impacts of mining are often not fully accounted for, although the environmental impact of mineral extraction more generally is widely studied. Copper mining can serve as a case ...
Cement, one of the main components of concrete, poses environmental risks, accounting for 7% of total global carbon emissions. To alleviate the environmental hazards related to cement manufacturing, …
An environmental impact assessment example would be the need to assess what a new manufacturing facility in a region means as far as air quality, water quality, noise pollution, ecosystem upset, and more. The impact of EIA reports on a project or planned policy change can include: A project/policy being abandoned because of the …
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. UNEP defines Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a tool used to …
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. Environment Impact Assessment in India is statutorily backed by the Environment …
This is mainly due to huge consumption of electricity and sulfuric acid. The analysis of economic cost reveals that heap leaching route needs internal cost of $3225/t Cu and external cost of $426 ...
The main tools used to reduce environmental and social impacts are environmental impact assessments, through which governments and mining companies can conduct cumulative and strategic assessments to formulate plans and policies. ... There is a need for more innovative solutions to optimize the mining industry's benefits …
5 The Environmental Impact of Copper . Release into the environment. Some examples of how copper may be released into the environment are through copper mining, agriculture and manufacturing activities. Copper may also enter the environment through natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, windblown dusts, decaying vegetation, …
Considering the information stated above, analysing a comprehensive case study of copper production in Europe can provide useful insights on both the mining, …
Environmental Impact of Copper Mining. Over the last 10 years, the total energy consumption at copper mines has gone up by 46%, exceeding the rate of production during the same time by 15%. The declining ore quality has only fueled the rate of …
2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect …
The government defines the eco-environment protection area as a visual range of important traffic trunks, rivers, and lakes. In the non-mining area, the environmental assessment scores were ...
Unless mining is done differently, rushing to bring these projects into production could unleash unacceptable, catastrophic impacts onto local people and environments. A golden age for copper ...
Its price nearly doubled from 2019 to 2020 in the US. That's partly because copper's role in the transition to clean energy cannot be overstated. "We're really going to have to re-engineer ...
This paper aims to address the significant financial, environmental, and social risks posed by climate change to the mining industry, which is responsible for approximately 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With 70% of mining projects for the six largest mining companies located in water-stressed regions, the industry is facing …
Based on the simulation based LCA assessment of different copper smelting technologies the following conclusions can be drawn: • The main contributor to the environmental impact is the production and transportation of copper concentrate that accounted for around 80% of the total energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. The …
Most studies used quantitative approaches to assess the environmental impacts of copper mines (41% of total), among which life cycle assessment (LCA) has the highest application of 75%. The...
Sand is considered one of the most consumed natural resource, being essential to many industries, including building construction, electronics, plastics, and water filtration. This paper assesses the environmental impact of sand extraction and the problems associated with its illegal exploitation. The analysis indicates that extracting …
Purpose China is the world's largest producer and consumer of refined and reclaimed copper because of the rapid economic and industrial development of this country. However, only a few studies have analyzed the environmental impact of China's copper industry. The current study analyzes the life cycle environmental impact of copper …
Mining is the extraction of minerals and other geological materials of economic value from deposits on the Earth. Mining adversely affects the environment by inducing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and …
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the likely effects of a project that significantly affect the environment. EIA provides decision makers with an indication of the likely environmental consequences of their selected policies (Jay et al., 2007 ). Since the 1970s EIA has become increasingly more important ...
Studies relating to environmental issues impacted by mining activities show that environmental management system (EMS) and environmental impact assessment (EIA) have not been fully implemented especially in developing countries (Ogola et al. 2002). This is attributed to the lack of technology that can be used to look into the impacts of …
The Resolution Copper Mine Environmental impact Statement (EIS) documented the potential impacts from developing one of the world's largest copper mines near the town …
Sand mining from rivers and marine ecosystems " can lead to erosion, salination of aquifers, loss of protection against storm surges and impacts on biodiversity, which pose a threat to livelihoods through, among other things, water supply, food production, fisheries, or to the tourism industry," says UNEP.
