A Moroccan mine built a heavy-truck road from phosphate waste rock; field tests cut dust emissions by 91%
- PC: Journal MiningA phosphate mine in Morocco has tested a haul-road pavement made entirely from waste rock produced during phosphate extraction, according to the study.
- Researchers examined whether the material could withstand the extreme loads created by mining trucks while also reducing dust from the road surface.
- They designed a three-layer pavement using crushed phosphate mine waste rock and phosphated flint.
