Sand mining
Sand mining is the extraction of sand, mainly through an open pit (or sand pit) but sometimes mined from beaches and inland dunes or dredged from ocean and river beds. Sand is often used in manufacturing, for example as an abrasive or in concrete. It is also used on icy and snowy roads usually mixed with salt, to lower the melting point temperature, on the road surface. Sand can replace eroded coastline. Some uses require higher purity than others; for example sand used in concrete must be free of seashell fragments.

Sand and gravel extraction REFORM wiki
The extraction of sand and gravel from river beds, banks and floodplains is driven by human needs for raw materials for concrete, glass and paint making, and construction works. Direct extraction of alluvial material from river channels causes far greater impacts than floodplain extraction. According to Rinaldi et al. (2005), the effects of bed sediment mining are more severe: where material

How sand is made material, manufacture, making, history
The preparation of sand consists of five basic processes: natural decomposition, extraction, sorting, washing, and in some cases crushing. Sand is extracted from the location at which it occurs by either a floating dredge or front loader. The dredge delivers a slurry of sand and water to the processing plant via pipeline, while the front loader simply scoops the sand up and into trucks or onto

The process is more energy-efficient than conventional steam production, can use recycled water from oil sands operations, and can sequester CO 2 in oil sands reservoirs. As a result, this innovative technology reduces GHG emissions by up to 85%, while minimizing fresh water use and eliminating expensive water treatment processes, ultimately lowering the environmental cost of bitumen extraction.

Around 90% of the Bitumen found will be recovered from the mining process. Hot water is added to the tar sands in order to separate the bitumen from the rest of the mixture. This is the "standard process for recovering bitumen from the sand and other material in which it is bound". [4] For sustainable purposes, the hot water can be recycled and reused thereafter.

Water is used in oil sands extraction to help separate extra-heavy crude oil, also known as bitumen, from the sand, clay and water that make up the oil sands. Water is also consumed in hydrogen production, where steam reacts with natural gas to produce hydrogen, which is then used in upgrading processes to convert bitumen into synthetic crude oil (SCO). Oil sands surface mining uses three to
