Talk:Sand mining

message: Can someone post insight to North American sand mining and discuss how aggregate mining is used to create concrete for infrastructure?  Also, I discussion on dredging, washing, separation, and drying would be nice.  Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.28.206.34 (talk) 15:53, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Clearly quite a biased article. Sandmining on Stradbroke Island is supported by the vast majority of Queenslanders and the miners over there do a pretty good job of rehabilitation.

If you use and iPad you are enjoying the silica of Stradbroke island.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimonster9 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I came to this article expecting to read about the sand mining process (and, in particular, the sand quarry at Bawsey in Norfolk), and got a load of rant about how sand mining is destroying picturesque beaches and causing disastrous environmental consequences. Uh-huh. Kinitawowi 17:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rephrased the first paragraph 

message: I have noticed that this page is in need of some more information.  I am an undergraduate student in my junior year and I recently conducted research on silica sand mining in the state of Wisconsin.  I wrote a 2500 word paper on the subject and used many authoritative, reliable and neutral sources including the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Adminstrative Code.  Currently, I am looking to improve Wikipedia entries for a class.  I will be adding some information to this page over the next few weeks under the United States section. I would appreciate any feedback.Kristinakarim (talk) 16:49, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I noticed that there two slightly different versions of a section about sand mining in India currently in the article. Either one version needs to be removed or they need to be combined into a single section by a person knowledgable in this topic. Paul H. (talk) 01:10, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  There are Two Sections on Sand Mining in India 

message: This page currently focuses on the detrimental effects of (beach or open pit) mining (ie flooding of beachside communities) but really, isn't it (for any of these specific elements:
rutile, ilmenite and zircon, garnet, leucoxene, sillimanite monazite
perhaps more ecologic compared to other (perhaps more conventional ways) of industrial production of these elements ?
I'm not an expert on this, and haven't looked into how each element is normally produced (different ways of production) but water elutriation seems quite harmless and doesn't pollute the environment (I assume). So it may be a more ecological way to produce these elements compared to other ways.
Can't this be looked into and further described ?
The negative ecologic effects noted (flooding of beachsides) may be prevented by simply bringing in additional (or just the filtered) sand, gravel, ... to repair the seaside. I assume this isn't being done currently (probably the sand is just extracted, and filtered sand may be dumped inland) but if done (regulation), that would solve this issue.
