Green Low-Carbon Technology for Metalliferous Minerals
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metalliferous minerals play a central role in the global economy. They will continue to provide the raw materials we need for industrial processes. Significant challenges will likely emerge if the climate-driven green and low-carbon development transition of metalliferous minerals exploitation is not managed responsibly and sustainably.
Prof. Guo of BGRIMM was the first to propose a new development concept for green low-carbon mining. Green low-carbon technology is vital to promoting the development of metalliferous mineral resources shifting from extensive destructive mining to clean and energy-saving mining in future decades. Global mining scientists and engineers have conducted a great deal of research in related fields such as green mining, clean mining, ecological mining, energy-saving mining, and mining solid waste recycling, and have achieved many innovative progresses and achievements.
This Topic intends to collect the latest developments in green low-carbon mining, written by well-known researchers who have contributed to the innovation of new technologies, process optimization methods, or energy-saving techniques in metalliferous mineral development.
Topics addressed may include, but are not limited to:
- Green low-carbon technologies and systems;
- Green low-carbon mining optimization method;
- Innovation in low-carbon construction technologies;
- Utilization of mine waste in civil construction;
- Frontiers in mining with backfill;
- Reclamation and rehabilitation of mine sites;
- Mine waste and heat management;
- Geomechanical behavior of mine backfill;
- Energy-saving techniques in mining;
- Recovery and environmental assessment of mine waste;
- Alternative by-product materials for green mining;
- Green low-carbon development criteria of mining;
- Case studies of green low-carbon mining.
