Characterization of the permeability evolution of hard and soft rocks under hydro‐mechanical coupling conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The permeability variation of rocks during complete stress–strain processes was investigated. A mathematical model describing the influence of rock damage on permeability was constructed. The permeability–stress relationship between soft rock and hard rock was proposed.

A framework for capturing indirect impacts in site‐level screening for biodiversity risks

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Site‐based industrial operations such as mining, oil and gas extraction and renewable energy development are associated with many direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity. Consideration of the full range of these impacts when selecting a buffer distance to approximate the Area of Influence (AoI) of a project is critical for effective ...

Enhanced Aluminium Extraction from Gibbsitic Bauxite by Electroreduction in the Bayer Process

open access: yesMetals
The Bayer process is used to extract alumina from bauxite, resulting in the formation of a highly alkaline solid residue known as bauxite residue (BR). However, such residue contains insufficient iron (

Preliminary Characterization of Three Metallurgical Bauxite Residue Samples

open access: yesMaterials Proceedings, 2021
Bauxite Metallurgical Residue (BR) is a highly alkaline and very fine-grained by-product of the Bayer process for alumina production. Its huge global annual production has resulted in increasing accumulation of BR, causing deposition problems and serious

Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...

Rare Earths and the Balance Problem: How to Deal with Changing Markets? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The balance between the market demand and the natural abundance of the rare-earth elements (REEs) in ores, often referred to as the Balance Problem (or the Balancing Problem), is a major issue for REE suppliers.

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Bauxite Residue: A viable filler for asphalt mix

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2022
Bauxite residue or red mud is used as surrogate filler for stone dust in asphalt concrete mixes. Asphalt mixes with both fillers were designed and strength, volumetric properties, and performance against various distresses (rutting, cracking, long-term ...

High Temperature Treatment of Selected Iron Rich Bauxite Ores to Produce Calcium Aluminate Slags

open access: yesMaterials Proceedings, 2021
The Pedersen process is a method to produce alumina from Al-containing sources, and it is a more material-efficient method than the current commercial Bayer process, since the formation of bauxite residue (red mud) is avoided, and the bauxite can be ...
