• Mill Tailings Storage for Reprocessing in Future

     · To retreat 15 or 20 millions of tons of unsegregated tailings in which a large portion carries only to per cent., is no easy problem for the future metallurgist. There are many milling plants that treat complex ores which carry lead, zinc and copper, and it is not possible to make a satisfactory extraction from all of these values.

    At present, gold mines are increasingly scarce in the world. The yield of cyanidation tailing (CT) of refractory gold ores with a grade of 10 g/T is huge; however, the effective capitalization of the cyanidation tailing is a significant problem in the gold industry. In this work, a new treatment method, a microwaveroasting process developed.

  • Best Practices for Tailings Dam Design

     · Of all the available technologies, McLeod et al. (2015) assert that the process of thickening or filtering tailings will play a significant role in tailings dam design for years to come. One way to reduce the height of tailings dams (some are more than 300 m high), and to recover water impounded by tailings storage facilities, is to dewater the tailings to create thickened or filtered tailings.
