DESCRIPTORS Air Pollution; *Conservation (Environment); Energy Conservation; *Environmental Education; *Global Approach; Higher Education; *International Cooperation; *Natural Resources; Postsecondary EducaLion; Productivity; Water IDENTIFIERS *Global Climate Change ABSTRACT As the world enters the last decade of the 20th century, tLe environmental problems facing human societies have been given increased emphasis in world policy debates. The goal of the Worldwatch Institute is to help raise the level of public understanding of global environmental threats to the point where the public will support policies needed to reverse these trends. This document focuses on major policy initiatives needed to stabilize the global environment for human civilization. In this seventh annual issue of the description of the status of global environmental problems, 10 issues are presented and discussed. These issues include:(1) progress and productivity; (2) global climate change; (3) global water supplies;(4) global food supplies;(5) sea level changes;(6) air quality;(7) global bicycle use;(8) poverty; (9) the proliferation of peace; and (10) efforts to sustain world resources.

  • The Separation of Galena and Blende from Their Gangue As Practised at the Mines of Sentein, Ariege, France
    3% LUEIS ON THE SEPARATION OF GALENA AND BLENDE. [Selected (Paper No. 1942.) The Separation of Galena and Blende fiom their gangue as practised at the Mines of Sentein, Arihge, France.” By ERNESTDU BOISLUKIS, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. THISis a record of detailed observations made whilst preparing formarket galena and blende, at the mines of Sentein in the Pyrenees. The oreswere intimately mixed in the proportion of 8 to 10 per cent. of galena, 15 to 20 percent. of blende, and gangue consisting of hard quartz, quartzose rock, schist, &c. The market lead-ore obtained included from 16 to 20 oz. of silver per ton.The blende did not contain sufficient silver for valuation. By experiments in the laboratory, it was found that the galena lost very little silver byfine crushing and washing. The machinery, supplied by Mr. George Green, of Aberystwyth, was erected in existing buildings; but these were so scattered that it is not thoughtnecessary to givea plan of them. Instead of this, a method of arranging the whole of the required plant under one roof, with slight modifications, that would render such proposed dressing-floors more efficient, is given in Plate 7, Figs. 1, the sub- stantialstructure indicated being necessary on account of the climate of the Pyrenees, where protection from frost and snow is indispensable. Water-power was used, being abundant, but the motors are not shown in Figs. 1, for, depending on the position of such proposed floors, steamor water wouldbe used asmight be found most advantageous. Mention is, however, made later on of the power required.

  • Control of Comminution Circuit for Efficient Froth Flotation D
    FROTH FLOTATION : RECENT TRENDS @IIME, JAMSHEDPUR, 1998; pp. 10-17 Control of Comminution Circuit for Efficient Froth Flotation D. D. IVIIISRA ilndian School of Mines, :Marked] - 626004 ABSTRACT Efficiency of separation in the froth flotation circuit is rely much dependant on the efficiency of size reduction and size separation in the preceeding comminution and classification circuit. A coarser grinding product than desired causes loss of grade or recovery due to inadequate liberation where as with over grinding there is an increase in slime loss. This paper ennumerates the factors that affect the performance of the grinding circuit and the steps that should be taken for its efficient operation. Once the grinding circuit is commisioned its performance is dependant mainly on the operation and control of the classifier. In case of the mechanical classifiers very effective control can be obtained by suitably varying the wash water flow rate and the weir height. In case of the cyclone classifiers the control is some what difficult. Key Words : Comminution circuit, Control froth flotation, Operating parameters, Efficiency. INTRODUCTION The froth flotation process is extremely sensitive to the particle size. Ideally the particles should be just small enough to ensure liberation of the ore from the gangue and no smaller. In some rare cases of relatively high grade ore deposits some what acceptable liberation may take place at a size too large (+1 mm) to float in thd froth flotation, process. In such cases the ore should be ground to about -0.3 mm to ensure flotation as the flotation rate is observed to decrease rapidly with the increase in particle size.

Its Function was to "try" or assay ores. On Vanning, and Assaying Generally Of entrancing simplicity, when properly used the shovel becomes a refined and pre­ cise instrument. In skilled hands it can reveal not only the presence of a whole range of valuable ores, but also their con­ centration. Its greatest use was by miners in the West of England for examining tin ores: rocks holding the mineral cassiterite (Sn02). Such ores are considered rich if they hold 5% are more of metal, valuable down to I % and workable, by the legendary "tinstreamers", down to 0.1%. The tin­ streamers were "tinners" who chiefly made their living by extracting the values left in stream and river beds, originating either from the natural breakdown of lodes, or discharged as waste "tailings" from a mine. Tinners also frequently bought orestuff from workers who had small mines or who picked over old mine dumps but did not have the resources to treat the "stuff' to reach a grade of tin con­ Wilfred Bray making a vanning assay in the South centrate that could be sold to a "blower" or Crofty assay laboratory.

  • A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates by Keith R. Long Open-File Report 91-0579 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1991 Preface In recent years, almost all countries in Latin America have adopted democratic political systems and liberal economic policies. The resulting favorable investment climate has spurred a new wave of North American investment in Latin American mineral resources and has improved cooperation between geoscience organizations on both continents. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has responded to the new situation through cooperative mineral resource investigations with a number of countries in Latin America. These activities are now being coordinated by the USGS's Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI), recently established in Tucson, Arizona. In the course of CIMRI's work, we have found a need for a compilation of Spanish geological and mining terminology that goes beyond the few Spanish-English geological dictionaries available. Even geologists who are fluent in Spanish often encounter local terminology oijerga that is unfamiliar. These terms, which have grown out of five centuries of mining tradition in Latin America, and frequently draw on native languages, usually cannot be found in standard dictionaries. There are, of course, many geological terms which can be recognized even by geologists who speak little or no Spanish.
