Recovery of pellet feed from tailings dams

Trends in the stewardship of tailings dams

Tailings impoundments frequently represent the most significant environmental liability associated with mining projects, both during the operational and decommissioning phases of a project. A spate of recent and well-publicized incidents involving tailings impoundments has placed the mining industry in general, and those responsible for tailings impoundment design and safety in particular, unde...

reagents in zinc recovery from pb- flotation tailings of

effect of concentration parameters on recovery of zinc oxidized minerals from lead flotation tailings of dandy mineral processing plant in north-western iran was studied. a sulfidization-flotation method has been used on a laboratory scale to investigate the effect of various reagents such as sodium sulfide as sulfidizing agent, primary amine as collector, dispersants and flocculants with diffe...

Geo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams Failures

Seismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geoenvironmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often lea...

Effects of pellet stove on recovery from mental fatigue

BACKGROUND Exposure to a warm environment has been reported to be effective for recovery from mental fatigue. However, there have been no reports examining the effects of a pellet stove on recovery from mental fatigue. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a pellet stove on recovery from mental fatigue. MATERIAL/METHODS In this placebo-controlled, crossover experiment, 16 he...
