Abstract:
Mining causes significant disturbances of the landscape due to both construction
and operation of open pits and underground mines and disposal of ore mining
and concentration wastes on the earth’s surface.
The scientific work aims to develop individual issues of organization and the
technology of reclaiming disturbed areas of the lithosphere using the example of
Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin.
Technical solutions to the problem of the negative effects of underground mines
and open pits on the ecosystem and landscape of the territory prioritize
intensification of iron ore raw material processing, including wider introduction of
technologies for reprocessing off-grade ores, tailings retreatment, wider use of
waste rocks (quartz) in construction, introduction of internal overburden
stockpiling technologies. Promising biological reclamation technologies include
stimulation of natural overgrowth processes on the surface of dumps and tailings
facilities by remote hydro-application of a fertile substrate mixed with mineral
fertilizers and seeds of perennial grasses, shrubs and arboreous plants to the
surface of technogenic objects.
