Mining is essential to global economic development, but it also produces waste and pollutants such as heavy metals that can damage ecosystems and human health. Addressing these impacts requires practical, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. This contributed volume presents a variety of cases that describe innovative, technology-based strategies for managing and reusing mining waste. Using case studies applicable to both developed and developing settings, research findings, and practical guidance, the book outlines methods that make mining waste management more efficient and environmentally responsible.
