Tailing, in context to mining, is defined as the waste or non-economic by-product generated during mining activities, processing of minerals, and other materials that contain small amounts of residual valuable minerals, chemicals, water, and heavy metals (Adiansyah et al. 2015).Studies indicated that the process of mineral exploitation and utilization generated a …
Abstract Ceramic s were elaborated from gold-silver tailings and sodium silicates as ing agent. The effects of the temperature and sintering time in a range of 850–880 °C and 30–45 min, respectively, were evaluated. The s obtained were characterized determining their apparent density, porosity percentage, volumetric expansion, …

In most instances, a larger proportion of the gold ores extracted end up as waste material (Kossoff et al., 2014). The mining waste by products are collected and accumulated in tailings on the surface of the earth in the vicinity of the gold mines. Gold mine tailings contain several different types of contaminants.

Yet the pyrite-rich tailings also contain up to 3% cobalt, which is worth well over US$23,000 per tonne. It may even be possible to retrieve almost all of the cobalt by using bacterial oxidation .
which contain goethite or jarosite. As is concentrated up to 2150 ppm in the fine-grained (<63 mm) fraction of these Fe-rich weathering products. Individual pyrite grains in albite-chlorite schists of the Clio mine tailings contain an average of 1.2 wt.% As. Pyrite grains are coarsely zoned, with local As concentrations ranging from 00 to 5 wt.%.

Most tailings reprocessing operations target a native gold fraction using re-milling and carbon-in-leach extraction; however, up to 50–70% of the remaining gold is still not …
The effect of temperature in the range of 20–65 °C on gold extraction from refractory gold tailings containing pyrite in 20% (v/v) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [Bmim + HSO 4 −]-water solution with thiourea as complexing agent and iron(III) sulphate oxidant, at pH of 1 was examined for 12 h leaching time intervals.The experimental …
Pyrite (FeS 2) is the most abundant metal sulfide in the Earth's crust and is found in a range of geological environments within sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.In particular, pyrite is a major phase in sulfide-bearing ore deposits associated with base, ferroalloy and precious metals, most notably gold (Wells and Mullens 1973; Leistel et al. 1998; Simon et …
To achieve this grade and recovery of pyrite, it is only necessary to condition the fresh tailings with 30 g/t of collector, 20 g/t of frother, 10 min of conditioning time, adjust the pH to 8 and ...

The tailings contain up to 60 wt.% as sulfide, mainly as pyrrhotite and pyrite, with pyrrhotite equaling or exceeding pyrite in all observed samples, except in the oxidized zones. Other primary sulfide minerals in the tailings include sphalerite, chalcopyrite, marcasite, and trace amounts of arsenopyrite and galena ( Moncur et al., 2009a ...
At the former Long Lake Gold Mine (Fig. 1) near Sudbury, Ontario, cemented crusts, which are precursors to hardpans, have developed in a sand layer overlying the tailings.The sand layer was placed on the tailings in the early 1970 s, nearly 30 years after the mine was abandoned, in a remediation attempt intended to prevent erosion and transport of …

The effects of bacterial adaptation and partial replacement of leaching solution on the rate and extent of bioleaching reactions of a complex sulfidic gold ore were investigated and it was found that more than 95% of the gold and more than 98%" of the silver could be recovered whenBioleaching was used ahead of cyanidation.
Auriferous sulfide ores often contain very finely disseminated gold and other precious metal particles inside the sulfide crystals. The encapsulation of precious metal particles gives rise to the refractory nature of such ores to current extraction methods. As a result, these fractions are frequently lost in the tailings. The purpose of this work was to investigate the feasibility of ...
The tailings dumps originating from gold mining in South Africa's Witwatersrand still contain notable gold endowments. Most tailings reprocessing operations target a native gold fraction using re-milling and carbon-in-leach extraction; however, up to 50–70% of the remaining gold is still not recoverable and instead discarded to the re-dump stream along with abundant sulphides.

The vast majority of gold mine tailings are acidic, usually very strongly acidic [2,10,11,12]. This is the source of acid mine drainage. The level of acidity depends on the amount of sulphide minerals, mainly pyrite, in the tailings (e.g., ). As long as these minerals are present in the oxidised zone of a TSF, acidity will be produced [2,11].
