Tailings filtration and "dry-stacking" reduces the risk of liquefaction, improves rehabilitation and minimises water consumption compared to conventional wet …
Abstract. Tailings storage facilities are generally the most significant environmental liability for mine permitting, operation and closure. Tailings filtration and "dry-stacking" reduces the risk of liquefaction, improves rehabilitation and minimises water consumption compared to conventional wet impoundments and is therefore considered …
The recent high-profile failures of tailings dams such at Fundão and Brumadinho facilities along with the push toward socially conscious investing have …
While filtered or 'dry' stack tailings disposal is profiled as a serious consideration during trade-off studies, it ... For this case study, the potential for acid generation was high. Discharging tailings slurries under water wasn't a viable or sustainable solution. Moreover, containment of tailings and water would have required a large ...
The filtered tailings disposal (dry stacking) up to 300 m high is an alternative to overcome the drawbacks related to the slurry tailings storage in large impoundments as it is safer and demands ...
The recent advent of dry stack technologies alleviates these concerns. Instead of wet tailings being deposited in a dammed lake, tailings from the process plant are fed to a downstream dewatering and filtration system (dry stack tailings system or DSTS) to produce an inert "dry stack" soil which can be reclaimed with native soil and …
HDS is a simple approach that utilizes the free draining reject sands from CPR to deliver ef-fective dewatering channels throughout the tailings mass, accelerating consolidation and …
Tierra Group also developed Dry Stack Tailings Facility Management Guidelines and calculated various stages of cyanide speciation data through cyanide destruction and Merrill-Crowe circuits. ... Tierra Group performed a tailings storage facility safety (TSF) audit for the 90 m high upstream constructed tailings dam at La Negra Mine in ...
The recent high-profile failures of tailings dams such at Fundão and Brumadinho facilities along with the push toward socially conscious investing have generated renewed and urgent interest in tailings dewatering, including stacked ("filtered" or "dry-stack") tailings. While geochemistry and civil engineering topics relating to ...
A primary demand was the ability to supply a cost-effective dry stacking technology ideal for dry climate mining operations that reduced water requirements. With FL's advanced stacking capability (machinery working off stacked pile) and ability to stack tailings at 15% moisture content, this meant tangible water savings for Karara.
Previous experience with tailings' stacking dates from the late 1980s, with an increase in the use of this solution during the 1990s (Caldwell and Crystal, 2015).However, the use of dry tailings storage facilities is conventionally related to arid areas (Davies, 2011; Lara et al., 2013).In Brazil, the adoption of dry stacking methods …
This paper provides practical guidelines for the de sign and development of filtered dry stack tailings facilities. These guidelines are based upon the successful conc eptualization, design, and operating experience at a number of these facilities. Issues related to target moist ure content, appropriate testing methods and criter ion, …
TAKRAF's mobile conveyor stacking bridge systems provide an efficient, reliable and easy to operate bulk material handling solution for transporting and storing filtered tailings. …
Changes in risk awareness and risk tolerance are encouraging mining companies and stakeholders to seek alternatives to conventional deposition and dry-stacked tailings is …
Leaning on the definition of dry stacking as "tailings that cannot be pumped," we present a case study in which thickened tails are air-dried to where they may be easily relocated using bulk handling equipment. ... SBPIL replaced their high rate tailings thickener with a 14 meter (46 foot) WesTech Deep Bed™ paste thickener. …
To facilitate dry stacking, coal tailings slurries were dewatered using either filtration or centrifugation methods, resulting in a semi-solid form (cake) that can be safely disposed of. ... and feed rate. By changing the differential speed, the residence time can be optimised. A high differential speed lowers the residence time and leads to an ...
the tailings important, but the mineralogy is as well. In particular, high percentages of <74 µm clay minerals (i.e. not just clay-sized but also with clay mineralogy) tend to contraindicate effective filtration. ... One of the main advantages of dry stack tailings over other tailings management options is the ease of
However dry stacking of tailings will always feature significantly as a favourable option available to the project team. ... international mining, earthworks and dry tailings knowledge from initial high level concepts, studies and options through to design, implementation and operations. We consciously walk in your shoes to develop tailings ...
tailings disposal with the dry stacking of tailings in heaps, to optimise the tailings footprint by allowing to construct higher and to recover more process water. The height of these heaps can vary between 30–250 m, while the heaps can be developed over a period of up to 10 years. The stability of these heaps is analysed
Too often, dry stacking or filtered tailings management is dismissed early in the alternatives assessment process due to the high production rates of many projects. Broadly, the consideration of tailings filtration and dry stacking is becoming more common, as mining operators seek to align with stated best practices.
Lara, JL, Pornillos, EU & Muñoz, HE 2013, 'Geotechnical-geochemical and operational considerations for the application of dry stacking tailings deposits – state-of-the-art', in R Jewell, AB Fourie, J Caldwell & J Pimenta (eds), Paste 2013: Proceedings of the 16th International Seminar on Paste and Thickened Tailings, Australian Centre for …
Tenova TAKRAF says it recently installed three DELKOR overhead filter presses at a gold mine's processing plant in Uzbekistan …
In the dry stack method, tailings are placed and compacted in a mound that is concurrently reclaimed with native soil and vegetation. There's no need for a dam to hold them in place, no possibility of dam failure, and no long-term storage issues. What's more, due to the deposit's geology, the tailings will be non-acid generating. ...
The dry stacking of compacted filtered tailings is an alternative to cope with the new Brazilian regulations while providing a safe disposal method for the upcoming tailings or the previously disposed of tailings in dams that are about to be de-characterized (Consoli et al. 2022; Gomes et al. 2016). The stacking of compacted dry tailings has ...
