Western Surface Mine Permitting and Reclamation (Part 10 of 15)

Biochar for soil remediation and land reclamation

Land reclamation generally relates to the improvement of soils degraded by human activities, for example construction and certain forms of agriculture. Soil remediation refers to the process of removing, neutralizing or reducing the toxicity of certain compounds, often left by human activities such as mining and industry. Each degraded and/or contaminated site is potentially unique in its chara...

A Study on the Reclamation and Ecological Restoration in Subsidence Land in Chinese Coal Mine Area

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) technology of bioremediation becomes one of the most hotspots in the research on coal-mining subsidence land. This article based on amorpha fruiticosa planting in the mining subsidence of Shendong mining area as a study object, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was vaccinated on amorpha fruiticosa after different monitor time, respectively measures are used to anal...

Mine Land Reclamation and Eco-Reconstruction in Shanxi Province I: Mine Land Reclamation Model

Coal resource is the main primary energy in our country, while Shanxi Province is the most important province in resource. Therefore Shanxi is an energy base for our country and has a great significance in energy strategy. However because of the heavy development of the coal resource, the ecological environment is worsening and the farmland is reducing continuously in Shanxi Province. How to re...

Size Distribution of Radon Progeny Aerosol in the Working Area of a Dry Former Uranium Mine

To provide improved particle size data for reconstructing the radiation dose incurred by Colorado plateau uranium miners, sampling exercises were made in 1988 and 1994 at Twilight Mine in western Colorado, a former uranium mine that is now used as a research and training facility. The strategy was to simulate or approximate some of the conditions to which the miners were exposed, then sample th...
