Crystalline Silica

By: Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (U.S.)

In practical language, Crystalline Silica addresses what crystalline silica is, where it is found and used, and how it is identified. In addition, the book discusses the regulatory decisions yielding new interest in this ubiquitous substance and presents an overview of the techniques used to determine its presence and abundance. A list of selected readings and supplemental resources and a glossary of terms beyond the scope of this publication round out the text.

Study Guide for the Professional Licensure of Mining and Mineral Processing Engineers, 8th Edition

By: Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration

Prepare for your Professional Engineer exam with this 8th edition of SME's study guide. This handy workbook lets you know what to expect and provides the opportunity to practice your test-taking skills. The text covers what licensing can do for you, outlines the engineering licensure process, highlights the steps to licensure, summarizes the application process, and provides test-taking strategies specific to the PE exam. The text also includes a chapter on ethics for professional engineers and details the rules of professional conduct from the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The Study Guide provides the important references that should be studied for the PE exam as well as a list of other helpful resources. Perhaps the most useful element is a sample test, including the solutions, that is similar in content and format to the actual Principles and Practice of Engineering licensure exam. Although the practice exam cannot include all the possible subject matter that may appear on the actual exam, you'll find it beneficial to practice answering the types of questions that will appear on the test. The Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) advances the worldwide mining and minerals community through information exchange and professional development. SME plays a central role in the licensure process for professional engineers through its Professional Engineers Exam Committee and its affiliation with NCEES.

Sustainable Minerals Operations in the Developing World

By: Geological Society of London

The sustainable development of minerals, which are non-renewable resources, is a major challenge in today's world. In this regard the true definition of 'sustainability' is a debating point in itself: can such a concept exist with respect to non-renewable resources? Perhaps the ideal sustainability model is one that minimizes negative environmental impact and maximizes benefits to society, the economy and regional/national development. Developed and near-developed economies rely for commodity supplies on developing countries where major mining operations are often a mainstay of the domestic economy. Limited environmental regulation and low wages lead to charges of exploitation. Also, large numbers of people have no alternative to living by informal, often dangerous, 'artisanal' mining. This Special Publication gives examples from developing countries from all scales of mineral extraction. The volume reviews environmental, economic, health and social problems and highlights the need to solve these before sustainability can be achieved. The better solutions require mutual understanding, through full involvement of all stakeholders, education, training and investment so that small-scale and artisanal mines can grow into well-managed operations. At larger scales, most major international mining companies have now improved their practices and are monitoring their progress, although there is no room for complacency in this rapidly changing area.

Engineering Solutions for Sustainability

Materials and Resources

By: Minerals, Metals and Materials Society

A wealth of resources and topics of discussion from the Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources workshop held in Switzerland in 2009 Natural resources are the lifeblood of agricultural and industrial endeavors that contribute to our social and economic well-being. Yet, even as these resources dwindle from mismanagement, there is still no clear consensus in the engineering community of what actually defines "sustainable engineering." This publication offers the engineering profession a multi-disciplinary blueprint for action by presenting topics of discussion from the Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources workshop held at the école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, July 22–24, 2009. It includes an extensive bibliography and recommended readings section, and a summary of key, cross-cutting initiatives recommended as priorities because of their potential to create common principles for advancing societal sustainability through technological, educational, and public policy solutions. The resources, tools, and concepts delivered in this report draw from the unique perspectives and expertise of an array of engineering disciplines, represented by delegates from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The intent of this publication is to forge a better understanding of the role and responsibility of engineering in achieving global sustainability, while also laying the foundation for an ongoing and productive interdisciplinary dialogue in other forums.
