Managerial decisions in the mineral raw processing according to an integrated principle as a basis for waste-free production

The article presents a retrospective of the methodology for the effective processing of mining waste based on an integrated approach to the development of mineral deposits. It highlights retrospective and current state of methodological approaches to the problem of environmentally friendly development of mineral resources. The role of IPM-VIMS specialists in the development of technologies involving significant amounts of mining waste (slags, overburden rocks) in the production of metallurgical, construction and other industries is shown. Waste matter treatment starting with the raw minerals processing through pathfinding the ways to involve them in production is associated with scientific research, a comprehensive study of their material composition, research on their physical and chemical properties, which determine the very possibility and applied technologies for their use in production. The issue of the place of waste in the technological chain from extraction to the final useful product remains relevant. For sustainable development, resource conservation and the orientation of the mining and processing industry towards low-waste or waste-free production, only complex technologies for the enrichment and conversion of mineral raw materials can be the basis.
