History of zinc mining. ... At around the same time, it was realised that the mineral sphalerite (zinc sulphide) could also be used for the same purposes, and new techniques for making brass directly from zinc were patented. By 1779, Bristol brass was in great demand, and Shipham and Rowberrrow became the centre of the zinc mining industry. ...

Environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...

Mine drainage is metal-rich water formed from a chemical reaction between water and rocks containing sulfur-bearing minerals. The resulting chemicals in the water are sulfuric acid and dissolved iron. Some or all of this iron can come out as solids to form the red, orange, or yellow sediments in the bottom of streams containing mine drainage.
