The presented results of the study concern the determination of corrosion resistance of cement composites with the copper post-flotation waste (PFW) as a cement substitute in the amounts of 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10%, exposed to seawater, depending on the temperature (10°C and 20°C). To better evaluate and understand the compressive strength, the hydration products of the cement composites were analyzed after exposure to seawater...

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...
