Abstract

Abstract

The Bingham porphyry copper deposit is a world-famous ore deposit. More than one hundred years' production activities such as resource development, ore processing and smelting have seriously damaged the local environment and ecosystem, and the cost of pollution control is high. In addition, there are a large number of other pollutants left behind in the history of the mineral company in the mining area, and the responsibility for pollution control is entangled. However, according to the national law, government and corporate social responsibility and development strategy, the environmental pollution has been successfully cleaned up and reclaimed, and enterprises have embarked on a sustainable development road, resulting in significant environmental, social, regulatory and economic benefits. This paper introduces the process of the Bingham mine's pollution abatement characterized by many twists and turns, with the purpose of giving some beneficial enlightenment and reference to China's existing similar mines and related administrative departments.
