Unsaturated mine tailings disposal
Soils and Rocks, 2021 Filtered tailings is the disposal technology that is most likely to yield an unsaturated state of the tailings. Such state has important benefits. A dam to contain the mine wastes is no longer needed, the risk of polluting seepage is minimized, and liquefaction of tailings is prevented. Filtering also allows most of the water mixed with the tailings to

Mechanically activated mine tailings for use as supplementary cementitious materials
RILEM Technical Letters, 2021 Two mine tailings are evaluated for their potential as supplementary cementitious materials. The mine tailings were milled using two different methods – ball milling for 30 minutes and disc milling for durations ranging from 1 to 15 minutes. The modified

Preventing acid mine drainage from mine tailings [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008 Mining activity always has high impact on its surroundings, being waste deposition the cause of multiple and complex problems to the environment. One of them is Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), causing acid water percolation through large areas in the mine site. Portugal was a prosper tungsten producer from the beginning of the 20th century, having its apogee
