The main sources of emissions during both the construction and operation phases include the products of combustion such as nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide and fugitive dust from the operation of equipment. The main sources of combustion-related emissions during both the construction and operation phases are related to diesel generators, fuel-oil boilers, and from on-site road traffic. Fugitive dust emissions can occur during land clearing, ground excavation, and from equipment t

Mining waste has different characteristics depending on the type of ore being mined. Our Swedish ores can be roughly divided into oxidic and sulphidic ores. The oxidic ores predominate in Norrbotten's iron ore field, while the sulphidic ores are more prominent in, e.g. the Skellefteå field in Västerbotten. However, Sweden's largest sulphide ore mine, Aitik, is in Norrbotten.
Through revegetation, compensation plans, education, inspections and environmental assessments, IOC aims at preserving the natural resources in the boreal forest and marine environment it finds itself part of. Environmental management at IOC looks at the entire mining life cycle and works to reduce impacts on the land, air, water and people where we work.

15/08/2008· Mining and associated smelting and metal processing activities have led to perturbations in the cycling of metals in the surface environment. In this context, iron-ore mines act as important sources of major metals, mainly Fe and Mn, but also associated trace metals into the environment (Ratha and Venkataraman 1995; Wong 1981; Zabowski et al. 2001).
Metal Mining and the Environment, p. 7,20-27,31-35,38-39. Published by the American Geosciences Institute Environmental Awareness Series. Modern mining operations actively strive to mitigate potential environmental consequences of extracting metals, and such operations are strictly regulated in the United States. The key to effective mitigation
Mining of iron ore is a highly capital- and energy-intensive process. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of the mining and mineral processing of iron ore in Australia was carried out in this chapter using SimaPro LCA software as a case study. The environmental impacts considered in the study were embodied energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Those with the highest iron content are found near the surface of the earth and are relatively easy to mine. The principal iron ores are hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). Most iron ore is extracted through opencast mines. To be economically viable for mining, iron ore must contain at least 20% iron.
How can mining become more environmentally sustainable. Mining can become more environmentally sustainable by developing and integrating practices that reduce the environmental impact of mining operations. copper and aluminum, and coal is required in order to smelt iron ore and make steel.
