Abstract Tailing dams and waste dumps formed by the accumulation of mine wastes are usually at long-term unsaturated state under evaporation consolidated drainage conditions. Soil-water retention relation is one key constitutive relations to analyze seepage processes in tailing dumps. In this study, typical coarse- fine-grained tailings from a metallurgical were chosen study soil-water characte...

The inevitable depletion of mineral resources, the constant deterioration of the geological and mining conditions for the development of mineral deposits and the restoration of raw materials from mining waste by recycling are all urgent problems we face today. The solution to this problem may ensure: a considerable extension of raw material source; decrease of investments in opening new deposit...

Analysis of industrial waste in Ukraine and external dumps Kryvyi Rih iron-ore basin was performed, which will help single out classify them by enclosing rock composition as well substantiate develop technological schemes for technogenic object processing. The statistical analysis the state classifier data classified groups performed; is basis determining dependence mining accumulation on a tim...

1. Introduction Slopes in quarries and open pit mines, as well as all the types of embankments (stockpiles, tailing dams, waste dumps) resulting from mining and mineral processing activities, must be considered as "geotechnical structures". Therefore, the design and implementation of these structures must be conducted with all consideration. Considering an economical plan, the selection of reas...

agh darreh tailing dam located in 23 km north of takab, west azarbayjan province is used for disposal of mine tailings. the tailing dam and its reservoir were constructed on gypsiferous marlstones. this is emphasis on geotechnical and environmental importance of the site. although construction of dams on gypsum rocks were not yet prohibited, but the dissolution of gypsum in contact with water i...
