Download or read book Aluminum Ore written by Robin S. Gendron and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the key component in aluminum production, bauxite has become one of the most important minerals of the last one hundred years. To some it brought economic and political advantage, but for many others, its development left a legacy of exploitation. Aluminum Ore explores the history of bauxite in the twentieth century and the global forces that this history represents, from its strategic development in the First World War to its role in the globalization of markets as companies from the northern hemisphere vied for the resources of the south. Featuring essays by scholars from around the world, this wide-ranging collection is a history of one essential mineral and a new perspective on a time of change.
Download or read book Aluminum Dreams written by Mimi Sheller and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How aluminum enabled a high-speed, gravity-defying American modernity even as other parts of the world paid the price in environmental damage and political turmoil. Aluminum shaped the twentieth century. It enabled high-speed travel and gravity-defying flight. It was the material of a streamlined aesthetic that came to represent modernity. And it became an essential ingredient in industrial and domestic products that ranged from airplanes and cars to designer chairs and artificial Christmas trees. It entered modern homes as packaging, foil, pots and pans and even infiltrated our bodies through food, medicine, and cosmetics. In Aluminum Dreams, Mimi Sheller describes how the materiality and meaning of aluminum transformed modern life and continues to shape the world today. Aluminum, Sheller tells us, changed mobility and mobilized modern life. It enabled air power, the space age and moon landings. Yet, as Sheller makes clear, aluminum was important not only in twentieth-century technology, innovation, architecture, and design but also in underpinning global military power, uneven development, and crucial environmental and health concerns. Sheller describes aluminum's shiny utopia but also its dark side. The unintended consequences of aluminum's widespread use include struggles for sovereignty and resource control in Africa, India, and the Caribbean; the unleashing of multinational corporations; and the pollution of the earth through mining and smelting (and the battle to save it). Using a single material as an entry point to understanding a global history of modernization and its implications for the future, Aluminum Dreams forces us to ask: How do we assemble the material culture of modernity and what are its environmental consequences? Aluminum Dreams includes a generous selection of striking images of iconic aluminum designs, many in color, drawn from advertisements by Alcoa, Bohn, Kaiser, and other major corporations, pamphlets, films, and exhibitions.

Book Synopsis School of Instructions by : Ishion Hutchinson
Download or read book School of Instructions written by Ishion Hutchinson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning memorial work that excavates the forgotten experience of West Indian soldiers during World War I. Deep-dyed in language both sensuous and biblical, Ishion Hutchinson's School of Instructions memorializes the experience of West Indian soldiers volunteering in British regiments in the Middle East during World War I. The poem narrates the psychic and physical terrors of these young Black fighters in as they struggle against the colonial power they served; their story overlaps with that of Godspeed, a schoolboy living in rural Jamaica of the 1990s. This visionary collision, in which the horizontal, documentary shape of the narrative is interrupted by sudden lyric effusions, unsettles both time and event, mapping great moments of heroism onto the trials of everyday existence It reshapes grand gestures of heroism in a music of supple, vigilant intensity. Elegiac, epochal and lyrical, School of Instructions confronts the legacy of imperial silencing and weaves shards of remembrance—"your word mass / your mix match / your jamming of elements"—into a unique form of survival. It is a masterpiece of imaginative recuperation by a poet of prodigious gifts.

Book Synopsis Geotechnical Characterization of Bauxite Residue (red Mud) by : Matthew Stephen Gore
Download or read book Geotechnical Characterization of Bauxite Residue (red Mud) written by Matthew Stephen Gore and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bauxite residue is the iron-oxide rich mine waste from the processing of bauxite ore for the extraction of alumina through the Bayer process. The Bayer process uses caustic soda, high pressure, and high temperature to leach alumina from ferruginous residue slurry (bauxite residue or red mud). This leaching process produces alumina to ferruginous/bauxite residue at ratios of 1:1 to 1:4 with the end result being billions of tons of bauxite residue waste (4 billion tons worldwide by this year (2015)). The residue is associated with being chemically basic (average pH = 12), high in heavy metals, and has shown low level naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) (equivalent to other household building materials like granite, gypsum, and marble). The objectives of this research were to characterize bauxite residue using the traditional methods developed in the field of geotechnical engineering for classifying soils, study possible source and processing effects that may contribute to the behavior of the material, and assess the feasibility of the material for beneficial reuse as a civil engineering building material. Characterization of the material included index properties (grain size distribution, specific gravity, and plasticity), powder x-ray diffraction, compaction behavior, and performance behavior that included compressibility, hydraulic conductivity, shear strength, and erosion resistance. The research focused on the potential beneficial reuse of bauxite residue in the form of fill for a flood protection levee. The research findings are that bauxite residue is a fine-grained, low plasticity material that would be classified under USCS classifications as a ML soil. Bauxite residue's compaction behavior is like a plastic, fined-grained material in compaction. It compacts at higher optimum moisture content and lower maximum dry densities than similar fine-grained soils (CH, CL, and ML) for both standard and modified Proctor efforts. Bauxite residue has a reasonably low hydraulic conductivity that provides low flow rates for a levee application. The material exhibited high drained shear strength in comparison to other fine-grained materials but, if not compacted, does exhibit static liquefaction potential similar to most fine-grained tailings that have low plasticity. Bauxite residue is comparable to a typical compacted clay in terms of compressibility, both in regards to its own compressibility and its total unit weight concerning the applied pressure to the subgrade. Bauxite residue demonstrates a high resistance to erosion. Lastly, bauxite residue has a high pH (pH > 13) that must be addressed before the material could be used in a levee. The issue can be resolved using neutralization or encapsulation by another soil. Overall, in terms of geotechnical properties, bauxite residue shows acceptable characteristics for potential use in a flood protection levee.

Download or read book Looking Back to Change Track written by and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back to change track provides an answer to the questions that have marked the country's efforts to manage air pollution, water stress, waste disposal, forest wealth, and it's rich storehouses of biodiversity. In 1997, when India celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Independence, TERI's assessment of trends in the state of the environment in these 50 years sounded an alarm over the rapid deterioration of the nation's natural resources. 1997 was also a year when the fruits of economic liberalization were beginning to be realized, but what seemed to have slipped past policy-makers and the public alike was the pressure increased economic growth was exerting on India's natural resources. TERI estimated that the economic costs of environmental degradation in India already exceeded 10% of the country's gross domestic product. Released as GREEN India 2047, TERI's findings made it amply clear that neglecting the state of India's environment in the quest for development was an unsustainable proposition. The title explains that while in some cases, irreparable loss to the environment has occurred, in others, there still remains time to halt, reverse, and minimize the damage. As we step further into the 21st century, new approaches and strategies are required to tackle the onslaught faced by our vulnerable environment. This publication articulates some of these, which include progressive policy-making, sustained public'private partnerships, increased support for research and development of sustainable technologies, and last but definitely not the least, greater mobilization by civil society to protect India's natural resources. The message inherent in this book is that the stakeholders of India's natural resources include no one else but us Indians, and we need to partner each other to bring about a change in the way our environment is managed. For inspiration, we need to go no further than the Father of the Nation himself, whose advice ?Be the change you want to see in the world ? is as relevant to our relationship with our environment as in any other context.
