Question

Write a short note on conservation of mineral and energy

Answer 1

Compared to the present rate of consumption, the replenishment rate of minerals is very slow. Hence, mineral resources are finite and non-renewable. Due to this, it is important that we conserve the mineral resources. So It is necessary to use mineral as per your need for mining industry.

Measures to conserve minerals :

Use of minerals in a planned and sustainable manner.

Recycling of metals.

Use of alternative renewable substitutes.

Technology should be improved to use the low grade ores profitably.
