“…Therefore, the ecological impact of mining must be carefully assessed at an early stage of the mining project. The actions and resources needed to mitigate potential impacts have to be also evaluated after the completion of mining activities (Christmann et al, 2007).…”

In the open pit mining of mineral raw materials, blasting, whose role is to break the undisturbed mass for easier loading, is the necessary technological phase. In the mass blasting at the open pits of metal ore, there is a rise of cloud composed of gases and dust, blasting mining products, which have negative effects on the surrounding environment. This work presents the calculations of a cloud size, concentration of gases and dust in blasting.

“…Probably the most egregious mistake is Quadbeck‐Seeger's offhand comment that a few bottlenecks in the supply of resources can be “circumvented by recycling and by fixing the price (105)”. This comment would be regarded as extremely naive by national and international groups wrestling with how to determine and quantify potential constraints to materials supplies (Committee on Critical Material Impacts 2007; Christmann et al 2007).…”

“…The ever-increasing growth in the electronics industry, the production of light-weight electric vehicles as well as devices for generating renewable energy have imposed an accelerating demand for specific raw materials such as the rare earth elements (REEs) [1][2][3]. Several economic regions like the European Union, Japan or USA have identified raw materials that are categorised as "critical", relating to their supply risk and economic importance [1,4].…”

Distribution of Selected Trace Elements in the Bayer Process

Abstract:The aim of this work was to achieve an understanding of the distribution of selected bauxite trace elements (gallium (Ga), vanadium (V), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), rare earth elements (REEs), scandium (Sc)) in the Bayer process. The assessment was designed as a case study in an alumina plant in operation to provide an overview of the trace elements behaviour in an actual industrial setup. A combination of analytical techniques was used, mainly inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and optical emission spectroscopy as well as instrumental neutron activation analysis. It was found that Ga, V and As as well as, to a minor extent, Cr are principally accumulated in Bayer process liquors. In addition, Ga is also fractionated to alumina at the end of the Bayer processing cycle. The rest of these elements pass to bauxite residue. REEs and Sc have the tendency to remain practically unaffected in the solid phases of the Bayer process and, therefore, at least 98% of their mass is transferred to bauxite residue. The interest in such a study originates from the fact that many of these trace constituents of bauxite ore could potentially become valuable by-products of the Bayer process; therefore, the understanding of their behaviour needs to be expanded. In fact, Ga and V are already by-products of the Bayer process, but their distribution patterns have not been provided in the existing open literature.
