1. Introduction. Tailings from the mining of sulfidic minerals containing metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) represent the largest volume of waste generated in the mining industry in Europe with an annual generation of ∼600 Mtons and a historic stockpile of 28,000 Mtons (Spooren et al., 2020).It has been reported that the extraction of one ton of …
majority of gypsum consumed is used for agriculture, building plasters, the manufacture of portland cement, and wallboard products. The construction of wallboard manufacturing plants designed to use synthetic gypsum from coal flue gas desulfurization (FGD) units as feedstock has resulted in less mining of natural gypsum. The availability of

Keywords Gypsum Æ Karst Æ Quarry Æ Environmental impact Introduction The mining of gypsum, like many other minerals, generates a series of impacts on the biotic, abiotic and aesthetic environment. In semiarid regions many of the impacts are more noticeable due to the usually scarce vegetation. With the aim of describing the problems related ...
Global Gypsum: "Can you give a brief history of the plant operation and current operating process at British Gypsum Robertsbridge?" Mike Emson: "Gypsum was discovered at the Mountfield site, around 400m from the modern wallboard plant in 1873 under the aegis of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. On 15 May 1876 the Sub ...
The study sought to establish the impact of gypsum mining on livelihoods, landscape, water quality and particulate matter concentration in Kajiado County. The study employed the Mixed Method Research (MMR) design. Qualitative data was collected from 95 respondents and key informants using questionnaires and interview
Texas is a major producer of industrial mineral resources required by the state's ever-growing population that now exceeds 28 million. Texas typically ranks in the top three states for the value of non-fuel mineral production with a total value of $5.2 billion in 2017, accounting for 6.9% of the total US mineral value. Almost 90% of current Texas industrial mineral value …

Plant performance and PHE uptake Seed emergence. Our results show that in the polluted non-treated soils (C), seed emergence was totally inhibited, whereas it was promoted by the addition of gypsum mining spoil (GS) at any proportion (T1, T2, T3), both for Medicago sativa (84% in T1, 88% in T2, and in T3) and Cynodon dactylon (78% in T1, 94% in T2, …
Specimens of Gammarus balcanicus were collected upstream of a gypsum mine (Site 1) in the Kosovčica Spring and downstream of the mine in the Kosovčica River (Site 2) during June 2011 (Fig. 1).Adult organisms were collected using a standard hand net (frame size 0.25 × 0.25 m; 0.5 mm mesh) and were stored in plastic bottles containing ambient freshwater, …
