This book provides a thorough, up-to-date overview of wastes accumulating at mine sites. It deals comprehensively with sulfidic mine wastes, mine water, tailings, cyanidation wastes of gold-silver ores, radioactive wastes of uranium ores, and wastes of phosphate and potash ores. The book emphasizes the characterization, prediction, monitoring, disposal and treatment as well as environmental impacts of problematic mine wastes. The strong pedagogical framework is supported by case studies from around the world, end-of-chapter summaries as well as lists of resource materials and www sites for each waste type.

The substantially updated second edition has new and notable changes including: new case studies; presentation of crucial aspects of mine wastes as scientific issues; revision of text to reflect major developments and contemporary issues that are taking place in the field of mine waste science; new web pages at the end of each chapter; additional figures; and an updated reference list. This newly balanced text will continue to equip the student and the professional with a thorough understanding of the principles and processes of mine wastes.

An introduction to mine wastes; sulfidic wastes; mine waters; tailings; uranium mine wastes, phosphate mine wastes; cyanidation wastes; mine site rehabilitation.

From the reviews of the second edition:"This thorough and authoritative reference work on the characterization, prediction, monitoring, treatment, and disposal of mine wastes relates so well to the important environmental impact of energy and mineral resource development … . This well-illustrated second edition (1st ed., 2003) with … abundant references, lists of resource material, lists of appropriate Web sites, and a thorough index, would be an appropriate library holding for science and technology, economics, and environmental matters. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (W. C. Peters, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (5), January, 2008)From the reviews of the third edition:“Author can be proud of this successful volume. … Whoever needs updated information on the mine wastes will welcome Lottermoser’s book … . This is particularly helpful for undergraduate students in the Earth sciences and in mining engineering and related fields. … The 400-page volume is clearly driven by a didactical approach of the author. … the book does a very good job of introducing anyone interested to the important topic and of guiding the reader to delve further into the topic area.” (Jörg Matschullat, Environmental Earth Sciences, Vol. 62, 2011)
