Selection of a Method for Protecting the Environment from Contamination during the Asbestos Containing Ore Mining

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Analysis of the mechanism of quarry waters contamination during drilling and blasting preparation of asbestos containing raw materials under the influence of industrial and natural factors is carried out that can serve as a basis for making specific technological decisions ensuring a decrease in the negative impact on the environment during the development of chrysotile asbestos deposits. The dependence of the nitrogen compounds inflow in quarry waters on the consumption of explosives and the volume of quarry waters formation is presented. The possibility of quarry water treatment in the depleted open-pit minings, the sides of which are composed of plastic asbestos containing rocks, is shown. The relationship between the volumes of internal dumping and the contamination of quarry drainage waters has been analyzed.
