Environmental Impact and Transformations of Mine Tailings of Redi Mines in Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra, India | Chapter 6 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 5

 Mining is saw as one of the basic causes of environmental shame. However, the exploration of this venture causes soil degradation, loud noises, and an impact on the encircling environment.  The mine thought-out here as a case study is the Redi Mine, that annually extracts 0.035 to 0.04 heap tonnes of iron ore.  Redi mines mineral contain Fe, Mn as important elements and Al, Si as minor elements in addition to traces of Cr, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, and P. The toxic trace components present in the ore have again contributed to the adulteration of the environment. The different excavating processes, machinery working, transportation, the science of applying power to use, and the types of waste management methods used are the key subscribers to the nature of mine tailings.  Tailing studies have disclosed that, in addition to basic contaminations, the operations conceive acidic atmospheres in the surrounding area, contaminating water, soil, and the overall surroundings, as well as providing to air pollution. The orderly studies and chemical studies, as well as the use of sophisticated means, explain the ideal case of mine spying and their environmental impact.
