Mine tailings are an environmental burden that contains precious metals such as gold, but further treatment of the tailings and improving the gold recovery has the potential to offer massive ...
Oil sands mine development, and the tailings that result from it, have a progressive history in Alberta. We continue to work with industry, other stakeholders, and Albertans to find innovative ways to reduce tailings growth. Here are some key events and publications over the last 30 years that have promoted innovation in tailings management—and still do.

tailings streams. There are similar benefits if a proportion of the waste can be marketed as a by-product, as is the case with alumina tailings. Similarly, an improvement in the magnetic susceptibility of ore minerals enables greater recovery in traditional circuits designed for magnetic recovery. 5. Conclusion

New Requirements. We used the TMF to create Directive 085: Fluid Tailings Management for Oil Sands Mining Projects. Directive 085 replaced the former Directive 074: Tailings Performance Criteria and Requirements for Oil Sands Mining Schemes.. Directive 074 was first introduced to slow the growth of tailings ponds by creating standard requirements for all projects.
· Tailings Recovery Technology. Tailings water treatment technology: The tailings pond is a large-volume sedimentation storage pond, which can be set up on valleys, slopes, river beaches or flat ground by using topography, and surrounded by dams. Drainage wells and drainage pipes are set in the pond, or drainage ditches are set along the edges ...

Tailings. Historically, mining processes with poor recovery rates have resulted in tailings with significant amounts of recoverable material. This material can be extracted with dredgers, however. Typical applications can be found in the coal, iron ore, gold, diamond, copper, oil sands and other mining sectors.

· In most cases, tailings are derived hydro-metallurgically, as a slurry. At low densities, tailings slurries are typically not so viscous (behaving more like water). However, as slurry densities increase the tailings behave as non-Newtonian fluids. Selection of a scheme for management of a tailings slurry is a complex process to find the best ...
In conventional uranium recovery techniques, the ore is mined, crushed, ground in mills, and subsequently leached in either an acid or basic solution to extract the uranium. This process produces more than 1900 pounds of solid waste (tailings) for each ton of mined cre. These tailings, which resemble sand deposits, contain numerous naturally-
