Taltech raw materials station email format

In Raw Materials field research and development are focused on the next level of innovation and giving a new mindset for researchers and entrepreneurs. Developing exploration technologies, mining techniques, post mining and mining waste utilization what also included oil shale ash usage, it also included collecting and systemisation of data for geological and technological modelling of sustainable and environmentally acceptable mining and evaluation of geological reserves. In addition groundwater movement, water removal problems were investigated. Methods of different environment problems like dust, noise, seismic waves and stability of undermined areas were developed. The research group at Department of Geology deals with subjects concerning future mineral resources of Estonia and beyond, targeting issues related to genesis, distribution and physical-chemical characteristics of the potential deposits. Moreover, a number of projects dealing with environmental geology, enrichment technologies of mineral raw materials, as well as with the development of data systems for digital sharing of geological information, have been carried out during last few years. Research and development also included collecting and systemisation of data for geological and technological modelling of sustainable and environmentally acceptable mining and evaluation of mineral reserves. In addition groundwater movement, water removal problems were investigated. Methods of different environment problems like dust, noise, seismic waves and stability of undermined areas were developed. All this is linked with an understanding of Social Licensing of mineral deposits.
