In vitro genotoxic effect of secondary minerals crystallized in rocks from coal mine drainage
(Journal Of Hazardous Materials, 2018-03)
Coal processing generates a large volume of waste that can damage human health and the environment. Often these wastes produce acid drainage in which several minerals are crystallized (evaporites). This study aimed to ...
Study Of Coal Cleaning Rejects By FIB And Sample Preparation For HR-TEM: Mineral Surface Chemistry And Nanoparticle-Aggregation Control For Health Studies
(Journal Of Cleaner Production, 2018-04-05)
Nano-minerals and amorphous nanoparticles play a vital role in the contexts of human health and environmental sustainability. For instance, aerosols generated by the process of coal beneficiation adversely affect human ...
Chemical and nano-mineralogical study for determining potential uses of legal Colombian gold mine sludge: Experimental evidence
(Chemosphere, 2018-01)
The present study is focused on the chemical and nano-mineralogical characterization of sludge from gold mine activities, in order to put forward diverse solution alternatives, where lack of knowledge has been found. The ...
Multifaceted processes controlling the distribution of hazardous compounds in the spontaneous combustion of coal and the effect of these compounds on human health
(Environmental Research, 2018)
Pollution generated by hazardous elements and persistent organic compounds that affect coal fire is a major environmental concern because of its toxic nature, persistence, and potential risk to human health. The coal mining ...
Evaluating sulfates and nitrates as enemies of the recent constructions: Spectroscopic and thermodynamical study
(Universidad de la Costa, 2018-10-26)
Salt crystallization is one of the major problems currently faced by the field of architecture and construction. Its effects are devastating to the extent that they may even lead to loss of material. Although many innovative ...
