How much energy is saved when Copper is recycled instead of mined?
Recycling copper saves fifteen percent of the energy used in producing the same amount from copper ore. Recycled copper has exactly the same qualities as copper from ore, so it can be recycled over and over without any loss.
Copper is non renewable, so it is important to conserve it.
Energy saved means fewer greenhouse gas emissions from the fossil fuel saved.
Do I just pour the hydrocholoric acid directly on the sample of gold to dissolve the pyrite?
I would STRONGLY suggest that you do not play around with hydrochloric acid. Breathing the fumes is highly dangerous, not to mention getting it on your skin or in your eyes. It will also not dissolve pyrite.
The ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the total quantity of recovered and unrecovered mineral product after processing with the amount estimated in the ore based on sampling.
Why are nodules not mined for metals such as manganese and iron?
Because they only exist on the bottom of the oceans and no tools have ever been developed to recover them from that depth economically.
The one attempt to "mine" them that was heavily covered in the news worldwide was actually not doing that at all and was not equipped to do that. It was actually a Top Secret CIA mission coordinated with Howard Hughes' companies to attempt to salvage intact a Soviet nuclear submarine and all its equipment (including missiles and torpedos) that had sunk in an accident. The salvage attempt was a total failure with the capture claw intended to pick up the submarine breaking followed by the submarine breaking in three parts. The two larger parts with all the things that the CIA wanted sunk instantly to the bottom and the one remaining small part that was recovered contained little more than the dead bodies of the seamen. These bodies were buried at sea. No truly usable intelligence was obtained from the mission.
At the time the cover story that they were going to mine nodules triggered a lot of research by various companies on how to do it so they could try to mine them also. It also triggered a significant backlash from the environmentalist movement raising concerns about unknown damage to undersea ecosystems. But the entire thing died out soon after the special ship returned and was immediately put in the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay. If Howard Hughes could not do it, nobody else could (but nobody know he had not even tried but was doing a Top Secret mission for the CIA instead).

Quartz is used in the making of sandpaper, optics, glass, liquid filters, circuit boards, computer components, cement , mortar, and jewelry. Quartz crystals are also piezoelectric meaning when an electrical current passes through them they vibrate a small amount. Time can be measured from the vibrations of the quartz crystals so quartz crystals are often used in clocks.
How can damage from the strip mines be repaired?
It actually takes place on an ongoing basis in the US. When a mine is closed, there are funds that have been set aside for restoration of the mined area. Land is contoured, topsoil placed where it is needed, and lands planted with vegetation that will grow in that area.
