  1. 1. Investigating the potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context : A case study on boulder characterization from Rajapalot property, Finland

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Annie Björk; [2023]
    Keywords : Petrography; optical microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; geometallurgy; mining value chain; Peräpohja belt;

    Abstract : Geometallurgy describes a holistic approach to mining (integrating geological, metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, and more parameters) with the goal to improve the efficiency and sustainability of a mining operation. The potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context was investigated in this study, as well as how petrography may be useful across disciplines in several blocks of the mining value chain.

  3. 2. Response of foraminifera Ammonia confertitesta (T6) to ocean acidification, warming, and deoxygenation - An experimental approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Elsa Muller; [2023]
    Keywords : Acidification; Warming; Deoxygenation; Foraminifera; Ammonia confertitesta T6 ; Culture Experiment; Trace elements; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effect of increased vertical stress on the state of grains in tailings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Shane Aulestia; [2023]
    Keywords : Tailings; Tailings dams; Breakage; Oedometer; Image acquisition analysis; Avfall; Avfallsdammar; Brytning; Ödometer; Bildinsamling och analys;

    Abstract : Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) serve as structures for storing tailings, i.e., waste materials generated by the mining industry. READ MORE

  5. 4. Spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, northern Tanzania

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Henriette Nishimwe; [2023]
    Keywords : Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling; Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling;

    Abstract : In Tanzania, approximately 76% of the drinking water supplies is dependent on groundwater sources. However, the groundwater in north Tanzania is susceptible to contamination by arsenic and fluoride. This study examines the spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, located in northern Tanzania. READ MORE

  6. 5. Bio-enhanced silicate weathering : Coupled to sequestration of CO2

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi

    Author : Marcus Westholm; [2022]
    Keywords : NETs; Bio-enhanced weathering; Carbon capture;

    Abstract : Weathering of silicate minerals has long been a known source of natural CO2 sequestration, that could be increased in the presence of microorganisms. Bio-enhanced weathering of silicate minerals could increase the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. READ MORE
