The Ramu NiCo mine started its operations in 2012. The $2 billion project was the first Chinese resource investment in Papua New Guinea. It involves a 135 kilometre slurry pipeline between the mining site and the Basamuk Refinery .In 2017, Ramu NiCo was shipping 34,000 tonnes of nickel per year for battery production around the world and dumped 5,000,000 …
Although all tailings facilities operated by the Group are located far from production sites and residential areas, we view them as assets with elevated risks capable of having a material impact on the environment and local communities.. Our commitments. Our commitments regarding tailings and waste management are as follows: Manage waste in a safe way, including efforts …

Mining Waste Management in the BSR. Min Novation Project. Cala M. et al. ... The study addresses all the waste management challenges and opportunities facing the Baltic Sea Region mining industry, which should be understood as extending to all forms of extraction of natural non-renewable resources. In addition to the main mineral resource, oil ...
The 3 R (reduce, reuse and recycle) behaviour of an individual towards waste management also need to be understood before establishing a waste management practice (Cecere et al., 2014). In the case of municipal solid waste management, both the lack of knowledge and social norms of the population play a significant barrier (Maycox, 2003).
sustainability aspects of the Swedish mining and minerals' cluster, using publicly available data; and (ii) to use this database to evaluate whether the goals of Swedish Mining Innovation, as presented in the Swedish Mining Innovation project document are being reached (c.f. Swedish Mining Innovation, 2016, and Figure 1.1).
The latest efforts in quantifying the global mining footprint have identified a minimum area of disturbance of 101,583 km 2 (Maus et al., 2022).Of this footprint, about 50% can be attributed to waste storage facilities and other permanent waste disposal sites (DFAT, 2016).Haas et al. (2015) estimate that several billion tonnes of mine waste are currently …
A review of the world literature shows increasing interest in a mining waste management. Innovative solutions are constantly searched for, which will allow waste management not only through storage, but also efficient use, striving to reduce CO 2 emissions and improving the quality of environment. Table 2 summarizes methods of managing ...
Increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (SEPA, 2005).The national environmental objectives state that 35% of all organic waste should be treated biologically by 2010 (SEPA, 2007).There are two main options for treating organic waste: composting or …
The authors have previously proposed a hierarchy for the management of mining waste (Lèbre and Corder, 2015) that prioritises waste minimisation and mineral recovery (Fig. 2). This hierarchy was based on modifying and adapting the generic waste management pyramid "reduce, reuse, recycle" (3Rs) to mining waste, reflecting its specificity.

The nickel supply chain for battery-grade nickel sulfate includes mining nickel from ore deposits, processing it to a suitable nickel intermediary, and refining it to nickel sulfate. The potential issues in the supply chain can be broadly described as land use concerns in the mining stage, and emissions concerns in the processing stage.
Metals are essential in the transition to the green technologies e.g. in low emission electric vehicles and in energy storage systems (Upadhyay et al., 2021).At the same time with the positive contribution to the society, mining also produces significant amounts of solid waste (Edraki et al., 2014) belonging with millions of tons annually (Wang et al., 2014) to the largest …

For example, in Sweden, the boiler companies and the Swedish Energy Agency have funded a research programme to encourage the use of non-coal ash (Ribbing, 2007). Scientists, engineers, and researchers have offered an alternative solution for a better solid waste management by recovering the metals present in such solid wastes.

The NEMO (Near-zero-waste recycling of low-grade sulphidic mining waste) Project, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program, developed and demonstrated technologies for near-zero-waste treatment of sulfidic mining waste. They reached their target on three mine sites, reducing the volume of waste by more than 95% and extract critical minerals.
The specified targets that linked to the E-waste management are mentioned hereunder [].SDG Target 3.9: By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water, and soil pollution and contamination;. SDG Target 8.3: Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, …
