Title A name given to the resource A short review on environmental impacts and application of iron ore tailings in development of sustainable eco-friendly bricks Subject The topic of the resource Bricks; Eco-friendly; Environment; Iron ore tailings; Sustainable Description An account of the resource Increased mining activity of iron ore has led to the generation of voluminous wastes of various nature, especially during the different stages of its extraction and production. The improper disposal of such waste causes negative impact on the environment. One such waste which is generated during the beneficiation process of iron ore is waste iron ore tailings, which is also termed as IOT. Further, dumping of IOT on open ground creates huge dumping sites. This dumping sites have been a concern to the environment and human population in its close vicinity. Therefore, a need to effectively use IOT has become one of the subjects of interest for many researchers. This article provides a short review of environmental problems caused due to improper disposal of IOT, and also reviews on the reuse methods of IOT in the construction sector, which helps to alleviate the environmental pollution associated with improper disposal of IOT. Furthermore, reuse of IOT in construction sector reduces the exploitation of the virgin materials for production of construction material, and thus reducing depletion of natural resources. Based on the existing literatures and findings it was observed that the use of IOT to develop stable building blocks using unconventional methods showed great potential and improved performance, when compared with conventional materials such as clay fired bricks. 2021 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource HK T.; Hossiney N.
