Justification of technologies for processing and reducing the environmental danger of waste from mining enterprises: the main results and prospects of scientific cooperation

The results of long-term scientific cooperation between two institutes of the Kola Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences — I. V. Tananaev Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Rare Elements and Mineral Raw Materials (ICTREMR KSC RAS) and Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems (INEP KSC RAS) with Institute of Comprehensive Exploitation of Mineral Resources Russian Academy of Sciences (ICEMR RAS). Joint work began 25 years ago under the leadership of Dr. Sci. Tech. Victor Nikolaevich Makarov (ICTREMR KSC RAS) and Academician Valentin Alekseevich Chanturiya (ICEMR RAS), later employees of the INEPS KSC RAS under the guidance of Dr. Sci. Tech. Vladimir Alekseevich Masloboev began to take part in these works. As a result, scientific bases have been developed for reducing the environmental hazard of mining waste and a number of technologies for its disposal. Research is currently ongoing.
