Proposed recycling flowsheet of hydrometallurgical methods for REEs recovery from mine tailings in Kiruna, Sweden. The process steps highlighted by the dashed box are the focus of this study [30]. Recovery of Li from mine tailings is a relatively new concept. The increasing demand for Li in diverse high-tech applications is now warranting ...
Based on our experience, we provide the following tailings management recommendations to mining companies: Prioritize comprehensive tailings impoundment lifecycle management. From initial planning to mine closure, it is crucial to ensure safety and environmental sustainability. Implement innovative technologies for tailings management.
With reprocessing, the mining companies can set the agenda to transform the tailings ponds from a liability into an asset. Whether driven by regulatory compliances, tailings dam failure and water...
The mine tailings are inhomogeneous and have a complex mineral, aggregate, and chemical composition [59, [109], [110], [111]].Furthermore, although having relatively low quantities of valuable components, mine tailings contain hazardous and toxic compounds connected with waste products or mining activities [82, 84, [112], [113], [114]].All of these factors make it more …
Therefore, tailings re-selection has become a major trend in the current gold mine tailings treatment. 2. Gold mine tailings dry drainage process dehydration. The dry tailings discharge process eases the storage pressure of the tailings reservoir, reduces the hidden safety hazards of the tailings reservoir, and the utilization of backwater ...
Phytoremediation efficacy in mine tailings is dependent on multiple factors, including contaminant type and concentration, soil properties, climate, and the choice of plant species. However, the use of hyperaccumulators is complicated by their inherently small size and short root systems, which are ill-suited for deep metal uptake in tailings ...
In the case of abandoned mining waste disposals, the reprocessing of tailings constitutes an option that can be considered to fit the paradigms of the actual mineral industry challenges: circular ...

Since the devastating tailings fac ility failures that occurred at two iron ore mines owned or co- owned by Vale, the Córre go do Fei jão and Germano mines, both in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Vale
The novelty of this article is the proposal to change the status quo of traditional management of mine tailings to a new paradigm where the technique of in-pit disposal of mine tailings can be ...
Arena Tailings Dam, Rancagua, El Teniente Mine, 1905 [].The first record of a tailings storage facility collapse in Chile resulting from an earthquake was the failure of the Barahona Tailings Dam in 1928 ().The tailings storage facility was located in Mina El Teniente, approximately 180 km from the epicenter in the city of Talca, with an earthquake measuring 8.2 on the Richter scale …
This study introduces a framework to evaluate the economic risk related to the re-processing of mine tailings to obtain CRMs. The framework, based on real options analysis (ROA), and …
CHAnGes in version 3.1 Version 3.1 is an update to the third edition of A Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities (the Tailings Guide), released in November 2017, to reflect the second edition of MAC's Developing an Operation, Maintenance, and Surveillance Manual for Tailings and Water Management Facilities (the OMS Guide), released at the same time as …
The disposal and subsequent encapsulation of mine tailings in a cost-effective and environmentally secure and responsible manner is one of the principal issues facing any modern mining project. A careful assessment of all options available for the capping and subsequent remediation of tailings is important because it can result in large capital, operating and closure …
Reprocessing tailings not only offers an innovative solution to reduce waste and rehabilitate mining sites, but it also presents significant opportunities for the sustainable …
Tailings are solids or slurries which may represent both i) a threat to the environment, due to the toxic substances already in the ore before processing (not recovered from the process) or added ...
Mine tailings, the byproduct of mining and mineral processing, are increasingly mass produced as a result of increased demand for metals and minerals as well as the advancement in technology that allows for the exploitation of lower-grade ores. Lower grades can increase the volume of tailings that may contain new gangue minerals that should be ...
In this scenario, recycling mine tailings can help reduce the number of tailings for disposal. Circular economy, recyclability, recycling, and reuse have been identified as emerging solutions that can drive the multidimensional …
The generated tailings in the mining sector are mostly disposed through conventional tailings management systems (e.g., storing in tailings dams). ... After this process, the tailings are brought into a homogeneous state and mixed with water and activator (e.g., sodium silicate) to form brick sludge. Subsequently, the brick reaches its known ...
Increasing population levels, growing economies, rapid urbanization and changes in consumption patterns have increased the demand for raw materials such as base and precious metals, leading to growing concerns regarding their availability and the global efficiency of the mine supply chain. Mine tailings, consisting of process effluents that are generated in a mineral …
Mine tailings are the waste residue of the milling process that is used to extract metals from mined ores. The design of tailings storage facilities (TSF) will vary ... origin of the tailings material and the nature of the mine treatment process. In addition, the tailings facility type and operation, and the sample location in the facility can ...
While tailings dam liabilities and falling water resources are affecting the ability of miners to start new mines, or expand existing ones, these issues are strengthening the case for reprocessing …

When processing mine tailings, there is no mining stage, so the values were adapted. Adapted values of energy and water consumption to obtain RE oxides from waste material are included in the supplementary material. Primary ores of REEs are usually treated with alkaline pressure leaching or sulfuric acid roasting. However, mine tailings are a ...
On November 7, 2023, the US Geological Survey issued a press release announcing that it would invest US$2 million of Bipartisan funding with 14 states to study the potential for critical mineral resources in mine waste. The aim is to map locations of mine waste (i.e., tailings) and measure the potential for critical minerals that might exist there. ...
In order to maintain the normal mining operations, several methods are proposed for tailing disposal, including disposal of dry or thickened tailings in impoundments or free-standing piles, backfilling underground mine workings, subaqueous …
Geotechnical aspects of the CuMo mine project include the excavation of the mine pit, processing of ore, and the tailings dam constructed using waste material from the mine. otal Tvolume of the excavated mine pit he t estimated to be was 1.99 billion cubic meters (BCM) based on the geometry of the proposed mine pit (USDA 2013).
