Abstract
The possibility of replacing the traditional components of the filling mass with man-made waste and the need for the use of mechanical activation of the components of the filling composite in order to improve its rheological characteristics and the strength of the mass after solidification are proved. The demand for resource-reproducing technologies that allow the most complete use of the industrial mineral resource potential of the mining and processing enterprise, which will lead to a multiplicative ecological and economic effect, is confirmed. It is necessary to introduce the re-processing of man-made waste in order to further extract the useful component to a level that meets the standards of environmental safety and economic feasibility, which would create conditions for the actual sustainable development and give some perspectives for extending the operating time of mining regions. It is established that the sustainable development of the mining and processing region is impossible without a highly efficient exploitation of natural deposits and man-made georesources in combination with an integrated approach to the development of subsurface resources.
Highlights
Due to the development of modern societies, technological progress and the constant widening of the availability of goods, it can be concluded that along with the exponentially growing population of the Earth, the level of consumption of mineral resources is close to exponential [1]
The authors are willing to guide the reader through the idea of reuse of industrial waste in the laying composite, process of backfill composite preparation with regard to the possibility of additional mineral extraction, presenting the efficiency of this extraction and achieved strength of composed backfill composites, defining the paradigm of sustainable development of mining regions and creating and proposing a road map of sustainable development of the mining region, followed by conclusions
International experience demonstrates the high efficiency of non-traditional technologies for extracting useful components from man-made waste, ranging up to 40% of the consumed volume of copper, up to 35% of gold and significant amounts of other precious and rare earth metals that are extracted
Summary
Due to the development of modern societies, technological progress and the constant widening of the availability of goods, it can be concluded that along with the exponentially growing population of the Earth, the level of consumption of mineral resources is close to exponential [1]. At the same time, growing awareness of societies and pressure from environmental organizations mean that more and more importance is attached to sustainable development [4] This applies to mining regions, where less environmentally invasive means of continuing mining activities are sought or, after the mine has been extinguished, revaluation through cultural landscapes of industrial heritage is being carried out [5]. Equation (1) presented by Golik [19] is presented just to show the complexity of ecosystem degradation as a result of the impact of man-made waste from mining and processing industries Understanding of this mathematical model that considers a long list of influencing factors helps to emphasize cumulative effects of threats for the environment and makes it possible to determine the reserve of man-made damage [19]. The authors are willing to guide the reader through the idea of reuse of industrial waste in the laying composite, process of backfill composite preparation with regard to the possibility of additional mineral extraction, presenting the efficiency of this extraction and achieved strength of composed backfill composites, defining the paradigm of sustainable development of mining regions and creating and proposing a road map (scheme) of sustainable development of the mining region, followed by conclusions
