Green Mining Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Insitu leaching mining (see the mining background page) has been introduced as the required mining method for those new mines that can physically implement this technology. Saponification, a step of the refining process that leaves the wastewater highly toxic, can be improved through a newly discovered method that eliminates the need for ammonia.
