Renewable energy and clean storage technologies are at the forefront of the world's fight against climate change, including the UN-led move towards a carbon-neutral society. Because these complex technologies require more 'critical' metals and elements than fossil fuel-based technologies, the demands for raw materials in their manufacturing are skyrocketing and are projected to continue to increase into the foreseeable future.With ore grades on a steep decline, huge amounts of low-grade ores will have to be mined and processed to satisfy the world's current and future demands for 'critical' metals and elements. Expansion of mining and mineral processing operations would mean more mining-related wastes--tailings, waste rocks and acid mine drainage (AMD)--notorious for their devastating and long-term destructive impacts on the environment. This Special Issue explored repurposing/reprocessing of tailings and AMD treatment cost reduction as promising alternatives to manage mine wastes more sustainably. It also includes articles on the critical roles of redox conditions and galvanic interactions on mine waste stability, hydrogeochemical controls on waste rock weathering, and climate change impacts on AMD formation in closed mines.

D'où viennent ces gemmes, si précieuses qu'on se plaît à les arborer ? Pourquoi certaines pierres nous fascinent-elles ? Quelle est leur histoire ? Quels secrets portent en eux les minéraux qui nous attirent par leurs couleurs, leur éclat et les phénomènes qu'ils recèlent ? Patricia Desmortiers lève le voile sur quelques mystères et nous offre un voyage autour du monde, lyrique et délicat, pour une rencontre avec 40 pierres remarquables. Ces histoires mêlant données scientifiques, géographie et poésie, illustrées par les dessins enchanteurs de Lola-Mona Lugand, nous racontent l'incroyable odyssée millénaire de ces merveilles formées au plus profond de la Terre.

Le journaliste Marcel Leroy, enfant du pays, est allé à la rencontre de « grands témoins » acteurs majeurs de ces 20 ans, qui ont toujours travaillé dans le respect de la mémoire. Il est allé recueillir des paroles et des images destinées à retracer deux décennies d’efforts pour faire de ce site un pôle de mémoire et de conscience reconnu par l’Unesco, avec trois autres sites miniers majeurs de Wallonie : le Grand-Hornu, Bois-du-Luc et Blégny. Chaque année, à la date anniversaire, la cloche Mater Dolorosa Orphanorum tinte 262 fois tandis que résonnent les noms des victimes. Celles et ceux qui ont vécu ce moment le gardent à jamais en mémoire. Guidé par le directeur du site, Jean-Louis Delaet, et par des membres de l’équipe, Marcel Leroy a écrit cette histoire de notre temps comme s’il la racontait à son défunt ami Angelo Galvan, chef-porion de la pause de nuit du Cazier qui a mené les recherches en tant que leader des sauveteurs, en 1956, avec d’autres mineurs risquant leur vie pour leurs compagnons. En 1986, il n’osait pas rêver de voir le Cazier préservé de l’oubli. En 2022, plus que jamais, le Cazier incarne des valeurs de solidarité et d’humanité, au niveau international.
