| Popis: | Owing to the nature of surface mining, the volumes of mining wastes are significantly large, which are usually the most visual landforms left after open pit mining. Increased public concerns regarding toxicity and contaminated material of mine wastes have forced a re-evaluation of the risk and acceptability of mining in most areas. For these reasons, a careful selection of waste dump sites, particularly hazardous ones, is very important. Before selecting the most suitable place for large volume of waste and low grade material, a series of studies must be carried out. In each case, it is important to be able to compare and weigh components to effectively select the most appropriate dump site. This paper presents an approach to waste dump site selection in open pit mines using the integration of multiattribute decision making (MADM) methods. Different MADM methods often produce different outcomes. To make the best decision for dump site selection, the results of subjective and objective MADM methods... |
