1 天前 The report warns of the high risk of a failure of the tailings dam for the proposed mine, and cites the dam design’s lack of seismic safety criteria, which is a violation of Brazilian regulations.
Dam breach.The Mount Polley open pit copper and gold mine disaster in the Cariboo region of British Columbia began in the early morning of 4 August 2014 with a partial breach of the tailings pond dam, releasing 10 million cubic metres 10 billion litres; 2.6 billion US gallons of water and 4.5 million cubic metres 4.5 billion litres;

2020-6-25 Tailings Dam Construction Design of slime is likely to slide and cause the dam to break away. The procedure usually adopted in such cases is to separate the tailing into coarse sand and fines in a classifier, and to use the coarse product to build up the wall ; the remainder of the pulp is discharged into the interior of the dam.

The breach of the Fundão dam at the Samarco mine in 2015 killed 19 people and was declared the worst environmental disaster in Brazil’s history. The incident has caused significant legal and financial repercussions to the company. The risks posed by tailings dams to the population,
2020-4-30 Tailings design consultants and mineral operators should consider a wide range of tests as part of any pilot plant design. For example, a pilot thickener trial that is focused on determining thickening limitations of a feed can easily incorporate flumes to assess beach slope variations using the underflow feed from the thickener.
2020-7-7 Introduction – TSF design justification The tailings storage facility (TSF) design report presents an analysis of the background conditions and investigations undertaken. It outlines the basis of the design and justifies the parameters adopted for the engineering design, construction, operation, rehabilitation and after closure of the TSF.
Therefore, the design of the capping has to take care for degassing of radon by integrating a radon barrier. This is in particular necessary for tailings containing uranium mining residues or phosphor-gypsum. Since, as mentioned above, the tailing dam consists of tailing material, the dam site needs a radon barrier as well.

2018-3-20 The Wollondilly tailings impoundment was created by Clutha limited in the late 60`s to accommodate tailings disposal from the new CHPP recently constructed by the company. As was the case with many coal operators of the time, little thought was given to the value of the fine coal escaping from the prep plant in the tailing streams.

Outsourced tailings storage and management may be a game changer where the liquid waste companies and the thickener designer are able to work together to set a suitable benchmark for the tailings as a ‘product,' with the possible side effect of getting better recoveries for miners and processors.

The higher the underflow solids concentration, then the higher the yield stress. Mine planners can best determine the thickening process by starting at the end of the system and working backward. Answers to the questions regarding how the tails are to be stored, placed, transported, and produced are key to honing in on the thickener design.

The dry tailings disposal plant would handle the tailings generated from the, at present, 2.7 MTPA and 2.0 MTPA beneficiation plants to produce cakes, which would be transported to the tailings dam. Additionally, the plant would be designed to cater to an increased combined capacity of 5.5 MTPA once the existing plants were debottlenecked.

The main purpose of a tailings dam is to contain the tailings slurry, which may contain several types of toxic substances and pose a risk to the nearby population and environment [].According to statistical data, China has constructed more than 11,000 conventional tailings impoundments using the upstream method [].Although easy to operate with a low initial cost, upstream tailings dams are ...
2015-1-14 either retained in the tailings voids or lost to seepage and evaporation. Water usage efficiency can be improved significantly by thickening tailings, because the thickener overflow is re-tained within the plant circuit and is therefore not exposed to such losses.
