Sediment contamination by heavy metals resulting from anthropogenic activities is increasingly becoming a global concern
due to the risk it poses to human well-being and ecological integrity at large. The purpose of this ...
In an attempt to incorporate human factors into technical failures as accident causal factors, researchers have promoted the concept of human
factor analysis. Human factor analysis models seek to identify latent conditions ...

The dramatic increase in hydrometallurgical extraction of gold from arsenic bearing gold ores has inevitably resulted in the
release of arsenic into the environment worldwide. Residual arsenic minerals in tailings storage ...
Attractiveness of fiscal regime has become more important in oil and gas investment decision than the rather geological
prospectivity of the province. The terms and conditions contained in the fiscal system influence the ...
The Artisanal and Small Scale Mining (ASSM) industry is of great importance to the Ghanaian economy. It provides
employment for the teeming youth directly and indirectly and produces gold for the local goldsmiths, among ...
The suitability of a centerline or upstream design as a sustainable option for construction of future raises for the existing Life

Post-consumer thermosets are difficult to recycle because, unlike thermoplastics, they cannot be remoulded to create other
items as a result of the extensive cross-linkages in their structure. The increased production ...
High cost of metric photogrammetric cameras has given rise to the utilisation of non-metric digital cameras to generate
photogrammetric products in traditional close range or terrestrial photogrammetric applications. For ...
Sub-grade is the ultimate load bearer of vehicular traffic load in a pavement structure. A weak sub-grade or problematic soils
require some improvements like soil stabilisation, soil reinforcement and/or capping of the ...
Arsenic (As) has the potential to negatively affect soils and groundwater quality, and cause several public health challenges.
It is usually concentrated and released during metal mining of ores that contains arsenic-bearing ...
Slurry density monitoring is of paramount importance in the industrial world. Most industries, especially cement and mineral
processing industries, employ this method to obtain good quality products. However, most ...

Appropriate selection of rheological models is important for hydraulic calculations of pressure loss prediction and hole
cleaning efficiency of drilling fluids. Power law, Bingham-Plastic and Herschel-Bulkley models are ...
The increasing exploration and production activities in the offshore Cape Three Point Blocks of Ghana have led to the
discovery and development of gas condensate fields in addition to the oil fields which produce significant ...
This work presents prediction and optimisation of controllable parameters of drilling and blasting currently used at the
Fobinso Pit of Perseus Mining Ghana Limited (PMGL). The mine faces challenges with blast particle ...
Damang Gold Mine (DGM) in Ghana uses open pit mining technology to mine its gold deposit. It has an estimated mineable
gold reserve of about 32 Mt exploitable for 8 years. As the gold price kept falling from 2013 and ...
