The main purpose of this paper was to outline a novel approach for the use industrial by-products generated in coal mines and coal-fired power plants as components artificial soils. Several combustion by-products, mine waste organic materials were tested at laboratory scale reclamation areas degraded by mining activity. role soils land rehabilitation high acidic heap. results revealed that amou...

Reclamation of highly degraded mine lands to a sustainable environmental quality has become major policy concern in many countries with long mining tradition. This paper reports the soil status historical site fifteen years after its reclamation, using indicators chemical reactivity, fertility and health, discusses progress effectiveness implemented measures by comparative analysis between pre-...

Abstract: The extraction of underground ore body inevitably causes a large amount of land subsidence. Current reclamation technologies in China mainly focus on stable subsided land. Therefore, a new technology for reclaiming unstable subsiding land is being studied for restoring farmland as much as possible based on a case study in Northern Anhui, China. In consideration of the mining plan, sub...
