Report Analysis:

Overview of Asbestos –

• Ore Processing & Extraction- After the process of extraction, there are several processing stages where asbestos ore undergoes to isolate usable fibers. Initial stage of process consists of crushing the ore, secondly drying to extract moisture further the material is gone through screening and crushing operation.
• Fibre grading and classification – Asbestos fibre is graded based on purity and strength. Longer fibres are suitable for weaving into textiles and more suitable, products such as cement and insulation need longer fibres. To match their intended industrial application grading process, include segregating fibres into multiple categories.
• Mining methods – Open-pit mining and underground mining are to primary methods. When asbestos deposits are near the surface, with surface layers to reach the ore, methods of open-pit mining are used. For deeper deposits, extracting the asbestos-containing rock and tunnels method of underground mining is carried out. Choice of method depends upon location and depth of asbestos deposits.
• Health and Safety Regulations – Diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma, are associated with asbestos exposure which are considered severe health risk by many countries having implemented regulations governing its mining and processing. Mandatory safety protocols for disposal and handling for managing asbestos on construction sites and mining area.
