Book Synopsis Tailings Dam Management for the Twenty-First Century by : Franco Oboni
Download or read book Tailings Dam Management for the Twenty-First Century written by Franco Oboni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive approach to address the need to improve the design of tailings dams, their management and the regulation of tailings management facilities to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the risk of such facilities failing. The scope of the challenge is well documented in the report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and GRID Arendal entitled “Mine Tailings Storage: Safety Is No Accident,” which was released in October 2017. The report recommends that “Regulators, industry and communities should adopt a shared, zero-failure objective to tailings storage facilities...” and identifies several areas where further improvements are required. In this context, the application of cutting-edge risk-assessment methodologies and risk-management practices can contribute to a significant reduction and eventual elimination of dam failures through Risk Informed Decision Making. As such, the book focuses on identifying and describing the risk-assessment approaches and risk-management practices that need to be implemented in order to develop a way forward to achieve socially acceptable levels of tailings dam risk.

Book excerpt: Tailings are the residue of the milling process for extracting metals for ore. They are mostly commonly dumped in surface impoundments (tailing dams), the embankments of which are usually earthfilled dams. In spite of a number of guidelines to their design and construction there are still major failings each year. This book gathers together 221 case records of incidents in attempt to investigate the causes of failure. The main causes were found to be lack of control of water balance, lack of control of construction, lack of understanding of the feature that control safe operation

Book Synopsis Fundão Tailings Dam Failure in Southeastern Brazil by : Mark M. Rich
Download or read book Fundão Tailings Dam Failure in Southeastern Brazil written by Mark M. Rich and published by Mark Rich. This book was released on 2024-07-28 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the concise article, Fundão Tailings Dam Failure in Southeastern Brazil: Ecological Strike to Rio Doce Basin, the author posits that the 2015 Fundão Dam disaster was a calculated act executed by international bankers and their Brazilian government allies. The dam’s collapse unleashed 15.8 billion gallons of toxic sludge into the Rio Doce, wreaking havoc on the environment and local communities. The article suggests this catastrophe, similar to the 2014 Mount Polley mine breach in British Columbia, was a premeditated ecological assault aimed at displacing and harming indigenous populations. The extensive damage included contamination of drinking water with mercury and arsenic, posing severe long-term health risks and ecological destruction. Drawing parallels between the Fundão and Mount Polley disasters, the article contends that both incidents were orchestrated by placing tailings ponds in unstable locations and continually raising dam walls to handle more waste. The narrative highlights political and corporate collusion, with mining companies donating significantly to political parties and benefiting from weakened regulatory oversight. The piece implicates major financial entities like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and BlackRock in funding these ecological weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The author claims that these institutions, under the control of elites like the Rothschilds and George Soros, are engaged in a global strategy of environmental and human destruction, disguised as industrial accidents.

Book Synopsis Dams: Incidents and Accidents by : K.R. Saxena
Download or read book Dams: Incidents and Accidents written by K.R. Saxena and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-12-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing number of dams built in the last century has underlined the necessity of these constructions to the all-round development of a country. The advent of rock mechanics, engineering geology and a better understanding of materials have made it possible to construct higher and larger dams and to tackle more difficult sites. The assumptions and risks used in the theory of dam design include such unpredictable events as earthquakes, floods, and geological faults or soft seams, which may be either underestimated or completely missed during initial exploration. Incidents relating to dams are manageable at an early stage, whereas accidents, which are largely unforeseen, result in unexpected behaviour of dams and in catastrophic failures. Investigations conducted to determine the cause of a failure may not reveal the true sequence of events, while expert analyses are often controversial. From the dams that do not fail, of course, we learn nothing. Systematically monitoring the dam’s behaviour from the potential risk stage to the accident event, would allow a hazard-management programme to be implemented, minimising loss of life and property, and provide useful data.

Download or read book Mine Wastes written by Bernd Lottermoser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's best practice in environmental mine-waste management requires a thorough understanding of the wastes produced. The knowledge of mine wastes represents a new interdisciplinary science and this book provides an introductory, descriptive and analytic overview of the wastes produced in the mineral industry. It describes the characterization, prediction, monitoring, disposal and treatment as well as environmental impacts. Intended for undergraduate courses, it systematically builds the reader’s understanding and knowledge of the wastes produced, their physical and chemical characteristics, and how to deal responsibly with them on a short and long-term basis. The text employs 22 case studies spanning the world’s mineral industry that elucidate best practice and specific challenges in mine-waste management and site rehabilitation.

Book Synopsis Catastrophic Incidents by : Trevor J. Hughes
Download or read book Catastrophic Incidents written by Trevor J. Hughes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interesting book offers an analysis of man-made catastrophes and asks why they continue to occur. 87 catastrophes or near-catastrophes, including high profile cases such as the Bhopal gas disaster, Grenfell Tower, Shoreham Air Show crash, Brumadinho dam collapse and Fukushima Daiichi, are described together with the reasons why they occurred and why over 50 different safety management approaches and techniques failed to prevent them. Featuring 63 eye opening stories from the author’s own personal experience and over 200 pitfalls in safety management approaches, this title is illustrated by 24 hypothetical cases in which the reader is asked to consider the approach they would take. Safety management techniques discussed include operating practices, personnel selection and emergency response. Safety management approaches including safety governance in organisations, along with the role of government and local authorities using the instruments of the law are extensively discussed. The work concludes with imaginative and creative ways forward with the aim to make considerable progress and to potentially eliminate man-made catastrophes for good. This title will be an ideal read for safety managers and engineers, community leaders in civic duties or labour union roles and professionals tasked with stopping and mitigating the impacts of man-made catastrophes, along with non-technical readers who are curious and concerned.
