The mining and processing of copper in Kilembe, Western Uganda, from 1956 to 1982 left over 15 Mt. of tailings containing cupriferous and cobaltiferous pyrite dumped within a mountain river valley.
As copper tailings appear in ground form, the grading of copper tailings reported by Gupta and Thomas (2013) and Nitish et al. (2013) has a sizeable silt fraction of 0.06–0.002 mm. Copper …
The debris of rock and sand (" tailings ") of mines often contain such high concentrations of toxic metals (e. g., copper, lead) that most plants are unable to grow However, some hardy species (e. g. certain grasses) are able to spread from the surrounding uncontaminated soil into such areas, as seen in this photo These plants that grow on the bare soil evolve …
Among the algorithms for feature selection, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) ... Therefore, this study selected two suspected copper tailings ponds near Daye City in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in China as the study area. 74 soil samples were collected, and the spatial distribution map of ACu was estimated by using ...
Tailings dams, which are storage structures for tailings, often are constructed using the tailings itself. A large number of tailings dam failures have been reported recently, especially due to static liquefaction, and can be attributed to a lack of knowledge of the geotechnical principles to be used and the lack of characterization of tailings as they …
However, by the combined process developed in this study, the copper grade in the tailings was decreased to 0.19 wt%. Therefore, the copper grade in the final tailings decreased by 0.12 wt% at least, the tailings yield is usually 85 % [1], [18], [40]. Based on this, it can be estimated that employing the combined process to treat one metric ton ...

Bao et al. [11] explored the process flow for reprocessing iron tailings and determined the adoption of a process flow of "copper-zinc mixed flotation - regrinding - copper-zinc separation - zinc flotation - iron magnetic separation - reverse flotation of iron concentrate" to recover Cu, Zn, Fe, and associated precious metals from iron tailings ...
Copper mine tailings (CMT) are formed through the copper separation and purification process [14]. Gordon reported a worldwide production of around 2.56 billion tons of CMT in 2016 [15] . For a significant period, the management of CMT has been acknowledged as a pressing environmental issue, primarily because of the potential for water and land ...
Copper tailings are a category of solid waste discharged after the beneficiation process in mining plants. The significant concern raising stringent environmental issues give impetus to explore the multi-channel utilization of copper tailings in a sustainable manner. Concerning the fact that no study has systematically compared properties of ...

copper production, particularly in Chile, increased significantly. The failure resulted in almost immediate industry-initiated changes to tailings facility construction in Chile. These included: • …
geotechnical, geochemical, and site-specific elements utilized in selection of a tailings disposal technology. United States regulations and international guidelines for tailings disposal, and general industry accepted goals for current disposal technologies are summarized. Copper deposit geology, ore
As the global demand for tellurium (Te) increases, it is crucial to develop efficient recovery methods that consider existing supply streams. This research combines gravity …
This paper reviews the progress of utilizing lead–zinc tailings as building materials and mainly summarizes the status of lead–zinc tailings in cement, geopolymer, concrete, building brick ...
As the world's largest producer of refined copper, China accounts for about 1/3 of the world's production. At present, China's refined copper is mainly produced by pyrometallurgy [1,2,3].The annual discharge of copper slag exceeds 10 million tons according to the calculation of 2.2 tons of copper slag per ton of refined copper produced in the copper smelting process …

It contains a large amount of re-selectable metallic ores and non-metallic useful components. Choosing a suitable re-selection process to recover them is of great significance to the comprehensive utilization of copper tailings resources. A copper concentrator processes 185,000 tons of raw ore per year, with a copper recovery rate of 86.5% ...
the copper present in the tailings as oxide precipitates. The result of the reactions is copper sulfate as shown in the reaction (7). Copper: Cu(OH)z + HzSO, 4 Cu^ + SO^~ + 2 %() (7) Once the copper is in solution it can be recovered from the process. The details of the copper recovery are discussed in the following section. The
The accumulation of gold mine tailings poses an environmental challenge. The feasibility of reusing this waste to fill underground mines was investigated.

The copper speciation in tailings from porphyry copper mining is highly dependent on the particle size. This was found investigating tailing from El Teniente copper mine near Rancagua, Chile. In the smallest particles of the tailing the dominating species of copper are carbonates and oxides—around 70% of the solids.
