Course content
Overview of the mineral based industry, its role in the world and outlines the sustainability issues facing the minerals based industry and how they might be addressed today and in the future. The exploitation of minerals and mineral products and the implications for sustainability of the consumption of finite mineral resources and the wastes associated with their production and use is examined. The course provides a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates the physical and earth sciences with aspects of the social sciences, energy, ecology and economics.
Learning outcome
After the cours is finished the student will be able to
- Identify and describe the effects on the environment from a given industrial activity
- Explain different aspects with alternative methods to mitigate a given effect on the environment
