Waste generated due to mining activity poses a serious issue due to the large amounts generated, even up to 65 billion tons per year, and is often associated with the risk posed by its storage and environmental management. This work aims to review waste management in the mining industry of metals ores, coal, oil and natural gas. It includes an analysis and discussion on the possibilities for reuse of certain types of wastes generated...

The paper presents experimental investigations of the concrete cover protective ability to coun-teract rebar corrosion in reinforced concrete cubes. To study and quantify the consequences of corrosion a reinforced concrete sample was subjected to chloride-induced environment in order to get corroded and combined with un-corroded sample. Chloride-accelerated technique can in-duce a high degree of corrosion within at a controlled...

Przedstawiono porównanie metod pomiarowych dotyczących oznaczania stabilności i kompatybilności rop naftowych celem ułatwienia przerobu ropy naftowej i paliw ciężkich. Przeanalizowano doświadczenia innych naukowców w porównaniu z wynikami własnych badań eksperymentalnych. Zaobserwowano różną skuteczność stosowanych metod w odniesieniu do wybranych gatunków rop naftowych. Wytypowano P-value, S-value, metodę SARA oraz metody mikroskopowe...
