Natural Resources and Sustainable Development II

The present volumes contain up-to-date, comprehensive and state-of-the art knowledge in the fields of: Mineral Prospecting and Exploration; Mining Engineering and Coal Mining; Mining Machinery Engineering; Mineral Process Engineering; Oil and Gas Well Development Projects; Petrochemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering; Metallurgical Engineering; Forestry Engineering; Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products; Energy Saving and Low Carbon Ideas; Development and Management of the Energy Industry; Environmental Protection and Circular Economy; Ecological Civilization and Low-Carbon Economy; Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development; Computer-Aided Design/Engineering. The contents will be invaluable to a wide range of environment-conscious responsible process engineers.This four-volume set collects 740 papers from the 2012 International Conference on Energy and Environmental Protection (ICEEP 2012), held in June in Hohhot, China, which brought together engineering and other specialists working mainly in China to discuss problems and solutions, new issues, and future directions in research in natural resources and sustainable development. Papers are organized into sections on mineral prospecting and exploration, mining engineering and coal mining, mining machinery engineering, mineral process engineering, oil and gas well development projects, petrochemical and chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, forestry engineering, the storage and processing of agricultural products, energy saving and low-carbon ideas, urban and regional planning, development and management of the energy industry, environmental protection and the circular economy, ecological civilization and the low-carbon economy, the theory and practice of sustainable development, computer-aided design/engineering, and other topics.
