What are Tailings and How to Recover Waste Water from them? The recovery of wastewater from tailings requires a variety of approaches. These include in-place stabilization, Phyto stabilization, and capping. In order to determine which approach works best, an evaluation of four treatments was conducted. Tailings are waste generated during the processing of metal ore. They are often deposited into a pond. However, these ponds are susceptible to environmental issues due to the poor management of water. As a result, effective treatment is important for these facilities.
Tailings are often classified as slurry or sludge. The latter refers to a mixture of fine gangue particles and process-affected water. Tailings sludge can contain dissolved metals that can contaminate the groundwater. Reprocessing of these materials is a viable alternative for tailings recovery. This significant study evaluated the effect of reprocessing on the concentrations of heavy metals in slurry and sludge. For the sludge, a high-grade sulphide concentrate was generated. Compared to the bulk tailings, this sulphide concentrate contained more than four times the copper and more than two times the sulphide sulphur.
Lime addition is another viable treatment for recovering water from tailings. It has been found that lime-amended tailings are more suitable for vegetative growth than unamended tailings. Plant growth was examined in each of the four treatment treatments. Two plant species were used for this experiment. Seeds of Kentucky bluegrass and a grass species suited for the sand mining industry were planted. After 120 days of planting, the above-ground biomass was collected. The topsoil control showed no significant differences in vegetation establishment compared to the other treatments. Metal Recovery from Tailings, Mining Dam, Mining Pit, Tailing Storage Facility
