2. MINE TAILINGS AND TAILINGS FACILITIES: AN OVERVIEW Mine tailings are the waste material that remains after the economic fraction has been extracted from the mineral ore. Tailings consist of a slurry of ground rock, and water and chemical reagents that remain after processing. The composition of mine tailings varies

The process water from gold mine tailings presents high concentrations of total dissolved solids consisting of sulfate (4000 mg/L to 6000 mg/L) produced by the addition of cyanide in the leaching process and destruction of cyanide in the tailings [67,70]. On the other hand, the sodium concentrations are on the order of 2000 mg/L as a result of ...

The way tailings are handled can have a long-term impact on the mines' economic efficiency, risk management and sustainability. Stacking of tailings is still unconventional compared to the wet tailings dam approach. However, it seems that tailings filtration followed by stacking is the most promising and ecological way forward.
