People have always used metals and minerals and products made from or with minerals in a nearly infinite number of ways. With the increase in population and real per capita income, the demand for mineral commodities is likely to rise in the future.Mineral Processing in the mining industry can be defined as the economic recovery of a valuable commodity from a mineral deposit. Mineral processing operations produce significant amounts of solid and liquid wastes. As the quality of mineral deposits diminishes, raw materials with low percentages in valuable minerals must be processed, and so the quantity of solid and liquid wastes produced are increasing continuously. The handling of these wastes presents severe environmental problems, which are even more severe in the Eastern European countries of heavy industry which neglected its effect on the environment. International regulations limit the quantity of toxic ions permitted in effluent streams in order to improve the quality of life and protect the environment, so wastewaters must be processed for removal of toxic constituents before their disposition. In this study, mineral processing and environmental technology will give this paper and discuss the application of new or improved methods both of mineral processing and the treatment of solid and liquid wastes, and will provide with the appropriate background to apply mineral processing techniques so as to minimize environmental degradation.
