Pollution indices indicated that the wastes are highly contaminated by Cu and moderately contaminated by Cr and Ni. However, only the artisanal rock waste is
Copper is a widespread metal used in architecture. Buildings have been clad in copper for hundreds of years . Waste rock is typically hauled from the mine site to waste dumps for disposal. Today, due to economics,
In buildings, copper used in plumbing dissolves gradually and adds the metal into the water supply. Other sources of copper pollution include fossil fuel burning,

Copper Fenton reaction [ 14 ]. Heavy metals have been noted to interact with nuclear proteins together with DNA which cause sitespecific damage. Two types of damages may be caused, “direct” and “indirect” damage. In the “direct” damage, conformational changes occur to the biomolecules, due to the metal.
The PERI associated with each HM in mine waste soil analysed in the present study showed that all heavy metals had low ecological risk at the tailing dams of Kitwe and Mufulira (Table 6).
We demonstrate that the economic changes associated with China's solid waste import ban increase primary refining within China, offsetting the environmental benefits of decreased copper scrap refining and generating a cumulative increase in CO 2 equivalent emissions of up to 13 Mt by 2040. Increasing China's refined copper imports

Pollution indices indicated that the wastes are highly contaminated by Cu and moderately contaminated by Cr and Ni. However, only the artisanal rock waste is associated with environmental risk. Noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic human health risks were detected, especially from exposure to Cr in the artisanal rock waste.
ness of U.S. copper producers.Any tightening of the present air quality or waste management requirements would result in further closures of domestic copper operations. This chapter reviews the environmental aspects of copper production. It presents a brief overview of the rationale for regulation, the technological
In buildings, copper used in plumbing dissolves gradually and adds the metal into the water supply. Other sources of copper pollution include fossil fuel burning, used motor oils, paint, and wearing out of brake pads. In rare cases, copper IUDs, a nonhormonal form of birth control, have been identified as the cause of copper poisoning in
The document describes copper ore extraction and beneficiation operations with specific reference to the waste and materials associated with these operations and the potential environmental effects that may result from leadzinc mining. It includes EPA site visit summaries and concludes with a description of current regulatory

It is demonstrated that the economic changes associated with China’s solid waste import ban increase primary refining within China, offsetting the environmental benefits of decreased copper scrap refining and generating a cumulative increase in CO2equivalent emissions of up to 13 Mt by 2040. Expand
Chris Berry, an independent analyst focused on energy metals, said the push for clean energy is a big reason for increased demand for copper, which is estimated to grow by 350% by 2050 if the
The utilization of solid waste is the challenge for the civil and environmental engineers to utilize the waste from different industry to excel the sustainable development, and in the same time, it is matching with the cost concern of the present materials. Copper slag is a byproduct obtained during smelting and refining of copper. The waste copper

In turn, the quantity of electronic waste is growing at faster rate. In year , the global ewaste generation crossed 53.6 million tonnes . The lower recycling rate in developing countries makes the situation alarming [3,4,5,6,7]. The 100% recycling is still a distant dream to be achieved.
The waste copper slag can be used as abrasive tools, road construction, and ballast. Furthermore, enhanced durability of concrete is associated with the use of copper slag as aggregate in
