Tailings Applications in Waste Containment Layfield Major Mines Projects Morococha Mine
Tailings Applications in Waste Containment Although tailings are deposited hydraulically the main purpose of the containment is to contain the solids produced by mining operations A tailings containment can be either a lined pond or a dam with a dam face lining Layfield has been providing dam facings for tailings containments since the early Classified tailings pumped hydraulically to stopes and waste rock are used for backfill where needed Drilling is undertaken with hand held drills or electric hydraulic jumbo drills and the broken ore is removed using scoop trams Mining of the wider veins and ore bodies has been mechanized with the aim of improving efficiency and operating costs
The methods commonly employed for disposal of these wastes in each of the industry segments that is coal mining and metal ore and non metal mineral mining are described below Mining Coal Tailings Disposal As has been pointed out earlier in this section immense quantities of wastes are produced by coal mining activitiThe mining industry incorporates various pumps in many applications to move slurries mine tailings and liquids from one part of the mine to another Learn why the EDDY Pump is the top choice for mine pump applications

Mine tailings produced from mineral processing in the mining industry are ground rock particles after extraction of valuable metals and minerals from orebody In general the tailings are in the form of slurry or paste that are deposited hydraulically in tailings impoundments which utilize large areas and are costly for managementFigure 1 Hydraulically mined tailings saturated zone in the background Courtesy of Anglo American The mine had three tailings dams that needed to be moved for environmental reasons Two of these deposits were located in a steep narrow valley with the third deposit being located on the side of a valley
Major Mines Projects Woodlawn Mine11 THICKENED TAILINGS MANAGEMENT Midas Gold
Mining at the Woodlawn Project will proceed from two independent ore sources fresh ore from underground and surface reclaimed tailings from the existing tailings dams The tailings will be hydraulically mined using a bottom up approach with a channel feeding back to a sumpthe overall tailings management process as it will reduce the amount of water sent to the TSF it produces a viscous material that inhibits segregation of the coarse and fine tailings particles as they are hydraulically deposited which will result in a denser stronger faster rconsolidating tailings
