1. Summary
Summary
- Most of mines in South Korea are abandoned and not under proper
management so that they are creating a lot of environmental damage.
Especially, the contamination resulting from leakage (AMD) affect the local
environment and tailing dam is one of the sources of AMD.
- Steel-making slags is a by-product of steel-making process, and decrease in
new constructions could lower the recycling rate.
