In a keynote address at the 2011 Tailings and Mine Waste Conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Andy Robertson described the trend of increasing ore production, decreasing grades, and increasing tailings production where "every 30 years, the volume of water and tailings produced by the industry increases tenfold" [].Robertson …
Nature transformed by industry, as it has been here, is the predominant theme of Burtynsky's work. The vibrant rivers in these images seem to be lava flows but are actually nickel tailings, the waste products of metal extraction and mining activities. Simultaneously beautiful and horrifying, this industrial vista is a striking observation of the devastation …

The nickel is predominantly mineralised as pentlandite in a disseminated texture in an ultramafic ore. The elemental assay of the samples is shown in Table 1. It indicates the sample contained …
Tailings are typically pumped by pipeline as a (slightly) thickened slurry. A typical tailings slurry will be deposited at between 25% to 45% solids by mass. To achieve high % …
Table 1 shows as a major example the summary of the metal contents of various tailings from some of the existing and historic metal mines in Finland. The tailings contain for example nickel, cobalt and zinc. The value of the metals in one single tailings waste pile reaches hundreds of millions of euros calculated from the concentrations and ...
The experimental results show that the addition of nickel tailings can significantly enhance the performance of the composite electrothermal coatings. Using …
In this study, an orthogonal test table (L 18 (3 7)) was established for a Ni tailings pond in Yunnan Province, China, to determine the arrangement of five factors (initial pH, chloride concentration, temperature, tailing particle size, and solid-liquid ratio) when preparing leaching agents. A GAM was used to fit the factors, the metal ...
26 May, 2021. In the post-COVID-19 global economic recovery, unprecedented stimulus plans by governments look to accelerate the emerging "Green Economy". This approach will ultimately pivot on the metals used to make batteries, and specifically lithium-ion batteries – the current and next generation battery chemistry of choice.
1.1. What Are Mine Tailings? An Initial Scope in an Uncertainty and Complex World. The initial step in mineral processing involves crushing and grinding ore to produce a suitable particle size for further metallurgical processing using physical and chemical separation methods [].Physical separation processes take advantage of the different …
