Diavik waste rock project : blasting residuals in waste rock piles

2011
Mining generates and moves the highest volume of material in the world. At mine sites throughout the world, explosives are used to fragment rock into workable size fractions. Mine-water chemistry can be influenced by residual blasting agents used during mining.

Waste-rock hydrogeology and geochemistry

Applied Geochemistry, 2015
Abstract The oxidation of sulfide minerals in waste rock has the potential to generate low-quality drainage that can present a significant challenge to mine owners, regulators, and other stakeholders. Challenges involved in managing waste rock include the large volume of waste rock produced and the difficulty in predicting the quality and quantity of

The Diavik Waste Rock Project: Persistence of contaminants from blasting agents in waste rock effluent

Applied Geochemistry, 2013
Abstract During mining operations, explosives are used to fragment rock into workable size fractions. Mine-water chemistry can be affected by blasting agent residuals, including NH3, NO 2 - , NO 3 - , Cl−, and ClO 4 - .

Waste Rock and Tailings Mixtures as a Possible Seal for Potentially Acid Forming Waste Rock

2003
Potentially acid forming (PAF) waste rock contained in dumps formed as a result of open cut mining of metalliferous orebodies are conventionally sealed or covered using a near-saturated, low permeability compacted clay layer, protected with a mulch layer and/or vegetated growth medium.
