Introduction. Tailings consist of ground rock and process effluents that are generated in a mine processing plant. Mechanical and chemical processes are used to extract the desired product from the run of the mine ore and produce a waste stream known as tailings. This process of product extraction is never efficient, nor is it possible to ...

1. Introduction. Mine tailings are waste obtained after the processing of some minerals to acquire one or more elements of interest. They are composed of a mixture of heavy metals, water, sand, and fine-grained solid material, and generally are deposited in ponds without further treatment (Babel et al., 2016; Santibañez et al., 2012; L. Wang et …

A tailings storage facility is a facility used to contain tailings. This can include a tailings dam (impoundment and pond), decant structures and spillways. A tailings storage facility can also be open pits, dry stacking, lakes or underground storages. A tailings dam is a tailings embankment or a tailings disposal dam. The term

Equipment Selection. The main determinant of the equipment that is best suited to the project is the state of the tailings and the rate of mining required. Gun sizes vary from as small as 2 in. (50 mm) barrel diameters such as typically would be associated with fire-fighting equipment and up to 10 in. (250 mm).
recovering large and fully liberated gold grains, and are used in many gold plants. However, liberated gold can be lost from a gravity circuit if the grain size is small or if the gold grain is attached to a low-density mineral. The majority of gravity equipment can only recover gold grains greater than 50 µm (Marsden and House, 2006).
