This book is not designed to be an exhaustive work on mine wastes.
It aims to serve undergraduate students who wish to gain an
overview and an understanding of wastes produced in the mineral
industry. An introductory textbook addressing the science of such
wastes is not available to students despite the importance of the
mineral industry as a resource, wealth and job provider. Also, the
growing imp- tance of the topics mine wastes, mine site pollution
and mine site rehabilitation in universities, research
organizations and industry requires a textbook suitable for
undergraduate students. Until recently, undergraduate earth science
courses tended to follow rather classical lines, focused on the
teaching of palaeontology, cryst- lography, mineralogy, petrology,
stratigraphy, sedimentology, structural geology, and ore deposit
geology. However, today and in the future, earth science teachers
and students also need to be familiar with other subject areas. In
particular, earth science curriculums need to address land and
water degradation as well as rehabili- tion issues. These topics
are becoming more important to society, and an increasing number of
earth science students are pursuing career paths in this sector.
Mine site rehabilitation and mine waste science are examples of
newly emerging disciplines. This book has arisen out of teaching
mine waste science to undergraduate and graduate science students
and the frustration at having no appropriate text which documents
the scienti?c fundamentals of such wastes.
