ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING IN SOUTH AFRICAN MINES

vii, 987 pp. Hardcover with plasticised finish, silver print to front and spine.
Name on end paper. Some browning to end papers. internally clean and unmarked. A good copy. 

The book provides a comprehensive overview of environmental engineering practices specifically tailored to mining operations in South Africa. It includes strategic perspectives on mine ventilation and environmental control systems essential for safe and efficient underground mining activities. It also details the evolution and application of ventilation and environmental control, addressing challenges related to dust, gas, heat, and air quality that are critical to worker health and mining productivity.

The content emphasises the importance of proper ventilation design and environmental management as integral components of mine planning and operations. It covers ventilation engineering principles developed through research and experience in South African mines, including the adaptation of ventilation and cooling methods suited to different mining techniques. The book also discusses the need for continuous innovation and academic research to meet modern mining's environmental and safety demands. 

Overall, the book serves as a key reference for mining engineers, ventilation specialists, and environmental professionals involved in South African mining, highlighting historical achievements, practical insights, and ongoing challenges in mine environmental engineering and ventilation practices as of 1989.
