Get PriceTailings, also called mine dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse, leach residue or slickens, are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction of an ore.Tailings are distinct from overburden, which is the waste rock or other material that overlies an ore or mineral body and is displaced during mining without being processed.
Get Price27-06-2008· The tailing dump consists of waste from Zn and Cu sulfidic ore processing, covers an area of 0.1 km 2, and is 6 to 7 m high. In the unoxidized tailings, the content of sulfide minerals ranges from 10 to 30% and is completely dominated by pyrite, while in the oxidized tailings the sulfide content is generally around 1 to 2%.
Get PriceThe invention discloses a method for reclaiming gold and silver by ultrasonic treatment and flotation of gold and silver containing tailings. According to the method for flotation after the gold and silver containing tailings are treated by adopting a high sound intensity ultrasonic processor for mine, due to the action of power ultrasonic, the oxide film on the surface of the gold and silver

Get PriceMine tailings in African countries Zambia and Namibia have been investigated with an objective to determine the role of secondary hematite in immobilization of contaminants. Two sites, Chambishi and Mindolo, are located in the Copperbelt in Zambia with relatively humid climates and two sites, Berg Aukas and Kombat, are in Namibia, where the climate is semiarid.
Get Price17-11-2009· 1. Introduction. Mining operations generally produce many types of mine wastes, including mine tailings, waste rock and slag. Mine tailings out of those, in particular, act as a main source of environmental contamination [].Arsenic (As) and heavy metals may be released from the mine wastes to the ground and surface water systems, as well as the geological environment due to their solubility

Get Price• of 43 500 tons of gold in one century and 73 000 tons of uranium between 1953 and 1995. • The basin covers an area of 1600 km2, and led to a legacy of some 400 km2 of mine tailings dams (270 tailings dams and 380 MRDs) containing • 6 billion tons of pyrite tailings and 430 000 tons (600 000 t)
Get Price26-07-1995· The pyrite rougher flotation tailings in this example were treated differently than as shown in Fig. 1. Instead of floating a bulk sphalerite-arsenopyrite concentrate, the arsenopyrite was depressed during sphalerite flotation using additions of base, cyanide, and xanthate collector and then subsequently activated with copper sulfate and collector and floated.

Get PriceThe tailings at Uchaly Mining and Processing Integrated Works contain pyrite, quartz, chlorite, gypsum, barite and feldspar according to mineralogical studies. Possibility of two-step thermochemical chloro-ammonium processing of dumped sulphide tailings, that consists of gold and silver unlocking and pyrite sintering in air with ammonium chloride at 250-275 °C, have been studied.
Get PriceTerminology. Tailings are also called mine dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse, leach residue, slickens, or terra-cone (terrikon).. Examples Sulfide minerals. The effluent from the tailings from the mining of sulfidic minerals has been described as "the largest environmental liability of the mining industry". These tailings contain large amounts of pyrite (FeS 2) and Iron(II) sulfide (FeS
Get PriceWhilst geotechnical properties of the OTD restrict the extension of the water cover, pyrite is enriched in cobalt (up to 2.6 wt%) indicating reprocessing of tailings as an alternative management
Get Pricegold tailings dams of the Witwatersrand basin with reference to their acid mine drainage potential The measured oxygen showed that the diffusion of oxygen in some Witwatersrand tailings dams is up to a depth of 4 m. Fine tailings are often deposited as slurry in a contain-ing dam and allowed to settle.
Get PriceWith decreasing ore grades, the tailings of mining operations are becoming of increasing interest as metal-containing secondary raw materials. The objective of the current work was to investigate chloride leaching of gold, copper, cobalt, nickel, and zinc present in the flotation tailings.
