Properties of overburden material after coal mining and its relation to mine spoil reclamation.
Matej, Dávid ; Frouz, Jan (advisor) ; Bartuška, Martin (referee)
The extraction of mineral resources, including coal, is important for the functioning of industrial society, but it also brings a number of negative environmental impacts. The waste material generated by mining and collected on the spoil heaps poses an enormous risk to the surrounding ecosystems and interferes with all components of the environment. The aim of my thesis is to describe in more detail the issues related to the diversity of the properties of tailings substrates and the resulting consequences. The nature of spoil substrates differs considerably from conventional ones. Each of the wide range of characteristics of alluvial soils brings with it certain pitfalls that are problematic in the context of restoring the ecosystem to a natural state. Key words: open-cast coal mining, impacts of overburden, damage to ecosystems
