Reclamation in the mineral mining industry is the process of restoring land that has been excavated or disturbed by mining activities to a condition that is close to its natural state or for other beneficial purposes.

This process begins with backfilling the former mining pits, recontouring the soil, and stabilizing slopes to prevent erosion. Following this, new vegetation is planted that is either consistent with the original ecosystem or economically beneficial.

These steps aim to restore the aesthetic value of the landscape, improve soil quality, and reinstate the ecological functions of the disturbed land.

In addition to environmental aspects, reclamation also plays a vital role in fulfilling corporate social responsibility towards the surrounding communities. This process helps reduce the negative impacts of mining, such as water and soil pollution, and wildlife habitat destruction.

The reclamation problems that are often found and their solutions are as follows.

Reclamation Problems During Hydro Seeding Activation

A common issue during hydro seeding activation is that seeds wash downhill when it rains. Hydro seeding is a planting method that involves spraying a mixture of seeds, water, and other materials onto the soil surface. However, if it rains after application, the rainwater can erode the mixture and cause the seeds to move to the lower parts of the slope or area.

This results in uneven seed distribution, suboptimal plant growth, and increased potential for soil erosion. Additionally, seeds that accumulate in certain areas can lead to overly dense planting, hindering plant growth and reducing the effectiveness of hydro seeding.

Solution: EonSoil 300

Highly effective as a hydroseeding tackifier, EonSoil 300 has the ability to bind various components within the mixture. This product binds the seeds to the soil surface and prevents them from washing away due to rain or water flow. By forming a water-absorptive layer, this solution enhances water penetration and retention.

It ensures that the seeds remain well-hydrated, which is crucial for keeping them in place and providing optimal conditions for germination and growth.

Moreover, EonSoil 300 protects the seeds from direct sunlight and keeps the soil temperature cool. The protective layer formed by this product helps reduce water evaporation from the soil, maintaining the moisture necessary for seed growth.

By keeping the soil temperature cool and reducing evaporation, EonSoil 300 creates excellent soil conditions for root growth. This helps increase the success of hydroseeding and ensures strong and healthy plant growth.
