Title of event:
Design of Covers for Saline, Sodic and Sulfidic Wastes Encapsulation of large volume waste material produced in mining operations,
or as a result of mineral processing, is often undertaken to minimise
potential environmental impacts. Constructed covers can be designed to
minimise these impacts, but their design requires a knowledge of the fluxes
of oxygen, water and salts through materials of different texture and
compaction, as well the influence of biotic factors and erosion on cover
performance. This course provides a practical coverage of all of the issues
that need to be addressed in cover design in an integrated manner. The workshop is to be held in Newcastle, NSW just prior to the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) Sustainable Development Conference. Registration is due by 25 October. Further information can be obtained from the workshop brochure.
Title of event: Acid Mine Drainage Generation,
Management and Treatment This course is an introductory/refresher course on acid mine drainage
