Open-cast mining of coal generates waste material, including rock and soil with different minerals, and traditionally dumped as waste over the valuable lands worldwide. Overburden (OB) is devoid of actual soil characteristics, low micro and macronutrient content, and a sufficient amount of rare earth elements, silicate, sulphate, …

Mining - Underground, Safety, Techniques: When any ore body lies a considerable distance below the surface, the amount of waste that has to be removed in order to uncover the ore through surface mining becomes prohibitive, and underground techniques must be considered. Counting against underground mining are the costs, which, for each ton of …

Overburden. Waste rock or overburden refers to the often large mass of initial soil and rock that is removed to get to the valuable mineral deposits. Typically, for every ton of ore that is mined, 5 tons of overburden is displaced. Overburden is not subjected to any chemical processes but must be removed to access the ore underneath.

Coal mine waste rock (CMWR) generated in coal mining activities is one of the most significant sources of industrial solid waste. Nearly 4.5 billion tons of CMWR stockpiled in more than 1700 waste dumps occupying 150 km 2 of land worldwide ( Bian et al., 2009; Zhao et al., 2008 ). Moreover, it is expected that more than 315 million tons of CMWR ...

overburden/waste rock and mine tailings (Australia 2007). The overburden is the top layer of soil and rock that must be removed to access the ore. The waste rock often contains the target minerals but at too low concentrations to be economically extracted from the rock. Overburden and waste rock are disposed on-land near the mine site,

Removal of overburden to access the ore can pose major problems in storage and reclamation. The stripping ratio (waste-to-ore) for surface mining of metal ores generally ranges from 2:1 to 5:1, depending on local conditions. The iron ore is predominantly mined by opencast mining throughout the country.

Introduction. Open pit mining is defined as the method of extracting any near surface ore deposit using one or more horizontal benches to extract the ore while dumping overburden and tailings (waste) at a specified disposal site outside the final pit boundary. Open pit mining is used for the extraction of both metallic and nonme-tallic ores.
