A Moroccan mine built a road from phosphate waste rock; field tests cut dust emissions by 91%
In Morocco, a phosphate mine has implemented an innovative road surface made from waste rock generated during phosphate extraction. This robust, three-layered pavement design not only successfully supports heavy mining vehicles but also helps manage dust emissions effectively. Testing resulted in a notable decrease in airborne dust and enhanced road quality, with an anticipated 15 percent boost in productivity for mining operations, while also cutting down maintenance expenses.
