Five medicinal plants viz. Abelmoschatus moschatus Linn., Clitoria tematea L., Plumbagozeylanica L., Psorolea corylifolia L. and Withania sominifera L. were grown in a polypot experiment in five soils representing coal mine soil, coppermine soil, fly ash, skeletal soil and forest soil with and without mycorrhizal inoculations in a completely randomized block design. Dry matter yield and mycorrh...

By introducing the practical application of grade equivalent theory in a copper -cobalt mine, it can show maximum economic value individual ore block and maximize comprehensive utilization limited resources contains positive significance for extending service life mine. Briefly steps Micromine software process reserve estimation feasibility displaying blocks. Estimation be completed objectively...

The Bronze Age in Britain is now a term often used to include both the first use of copper c . 2400 bc and also tin-bronze from 2100 , all which required extensive copper. Prehistoric mining for this metal has been identified surface underground workings Parys Mine, Mynydd Parys, Anglesey, although almost are obscured by deep spoil more recent industrial period. These copper-bearing ores bedded...

Alga as Achnanthes minutissima among diatoms is a widely adaptable taxon on the state of an aquatic environment. In this study, it was found that diatom had a specific tolerance to heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd etc.) in river water samples, because the diatom assemblage consisted of almost only Achnanthes minutissima in Kakehashi river and Godani river, which were polluted with waste water f...

This study was designed to investigate heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd) contamination levels of soils, vegetables, and rice grown in the vicinity of the Dabaoshan mine, south China. The concentration of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in paddy soil exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations for Chinese agricultural soil. The heavy metal concentrations (mg kg(-1), dry weight basis) in vegetables ranged fr...

Copper mine tailings have been discharged around the city of Chanaral, in northern Chile, for more than 60 years. This report summarizes a 17-month long monitoring study of species richness and biodiversity at five intertidal sites around the point of the tailing discharge. Total dissolved copper in sites close to the point of discharge varied between 8.72 microg/l and 34.15 microg/l, showing t...

Significant magnetite, in the form of dyke-like lodes (Cockfield. 1948). occurs in close spatial relationship to copper deposits such as the Afton mine. The genetic relationship of these massive magnetite lodes to the copper deposits of the Iron Mask is unknown, as i s the origin of the magnetite deposits. However, the proximity of these deposits to magnetite-rich intrusive units of the Iron Ma...

background: the workers of mines, during a working day, are exposed to stress and psychological pressure that certainly affect the efficiency of their work. this study aimed to determine the level of stress, anxiety, and depression in workers of one copper mine in kerman province, iran. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 250 workers of the operation unit of one copper mine in...

due to environmental problems caused by mining activities, it is necessary to study and investigation the concentrations of the pollutants caused by this activities such as heavy metals. the aim of this study is the determination of the concentration of heavy metals cu, pb and zn in roots of two species of artemisia including artemisia aucheri and artemisia sieberi in the surrounding natural la...
