  1. 1. A Geophysical Survey of Northern Utö

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Nicole Flanders; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A geophysical investigation on the northern part of Utö was carried out between 2020 and 2021 to asses the extent of the iron ore (BIFs) and the iron bearing sulfides that have been surveyed and mined in the past. The survey using analog field equipment combined magnetometry, gravimetry, susceptibility, leveling, density, and thin-section microscopy. READ MORE

  3. 2. A geological investigation on bedrock suitability for mineral carbonation conducted in the south central part of Sweden

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

    Author : Edvard Pearson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mineral carbonation; geological investigation; Åsensbruk; Falun; Grums; Öje; Skutskär;

    Abstract : Increasing global temperatures due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases is one of our times most dire and urgent challenges to overcome if we are to achieve a sustainable healthy planet. The primary way of accomplishing this is by reducing the amount of released greenhouse gases. READ MORE

  4. 3. Utilizing wood ash to stimulate algal growth in mine waters from northern Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Katelyn Murphy; [2023]
    Keywords : acid rock drainage; acid mine drainage; controlled eutrophication;

    Abstract : Acid rock drainage (ARD), caused by the oxidation of sulphide bearing minerals, continues to be an environmental impact of both closed and operational mines, leading to waters with low pH values and high metal concentrations (Park et al., 2019). READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.
