Superiority of Filtered Tailings Storage Facility to Conventional Tailings Impoundment in Southern Rainy Regions of China
In order to evaluate the superiority of a filtered tailings storage facility (FTSF) to conventional tailings impoundment in the southern rainy regions of China (SRRC), the tailings slurry leakage and pollution accident occurring at the wet tailings dam (WTD) of Yinshan were analyzed, the properties of the tailings were tested in a laboratory, and the possibility of tailings liquefaction was eva...
متن کاملRevegetation of a Mine Tailings Impoundment Using Municipal Biosolids in a Semi-arid Environment
Five separate test sites were established in 1994 to evaluate the use of municipal sewage sludge as a soil amendment and conditioner (hereafter referred to as biosolids) on the Kennecott Utah Copper Corporations tailings impoundment near Magna, Utah. Each site was divided into 16 test plots to evaluate four replications of the four rates of biosolids addition and incorporation into the taili...
متن کاملUAV Remote Sensing Surveillance of a Mine Tailings Impoundment in Sub-Arctic Conditions
Mining typically involves extensive areas where environmental monitoring is spatially sporadic. New remote sensing techniques and platforms such as Structure from Motion (SfM) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may offer one solution for more comprehensive and spatially continuous measurements. We conducted UAV campaigns in three consecutive summers (2015–2017) at a sub-Arctic mining site wher...
متن کاملModelling of Fluidised Geomaterials: The Case of the Aberfan and the Gypsum Tailings Impoundment Flowslides
The choice of a pure cohesive or a pure frictional viscoplastic model to represent the rheological behaviour of a flowslide is of paramount importance in order to obtain accurate results for real cases. The principal goal of the present work is to clarify the influence of the type of viscous model-pure cohesive versus pure frictional-with the numerical reproduction of two different real flowsli...
متن کاملMineralogical, Geochemical and Isotopic Study of the Active Tailings Impoundment Carén from the Porphyry Copper Deposit El Teniente, Chile
At the active tailings impoundment Carén (surface 22 km) from the porphyry copper mine El Teniente, Chile, initial steps of primary mineral alteration and geochemical changes after deposition were studied. The tailings contained up to 3 vol% sulfides (mainly pyrite). At five points in the tailings impoundment, water samples up to a depth of 4 m were taken from piezometer. Preliminary data showe...
