General Description of the Research Project |
Detoxifying mining wastes and wastewater, making them available as resources In and around the mining center of Bor in Serbia, mining and metallurgical
activities have produced waste material that contains metals, leading to environmental pollution issues. This project aims to conduct fact-finding surveys of the pollution and develop
technologies to recover metal from mining waste and wastewater, thereby establishing methods of resource development that are environmentally-friendly. It is also working on ways of recycling
the recovered metals, with the aim of ensuring that environmental measures become a sustainable system. Furthermore, the project builds capacity in the form of local researchers able to deal
with environmental issues, and represents a contribution to Serbia's economic development through mining.
Promoting environmentally friendly resource development to secure a stable supply of resources Waste material recycling and environmental restoration
technologies have general applicability, and are of potential benefit in areas engaged in resource development worldwide. Environmentally friendly resource development is possible in every
nation. Environmental preservation is one of the most significant challenges for resource-rich countries, and ensuring that the environment is protected leads to a stable supply of resources.
