| Aim(s) of Course |
: |
mineral extraction and mineral processing operations generate waste. There is the economic value of wastes. They can be utilized as raw material for the industrial recovery and enrichment. In this course, especially in mineral processing and waste water treatment and recycling methods will be explained. Mines, especially gold mining, and other methods used to prevent the toxic effects of hazardous waste will be explained. |
