Management of tailings and waste-rock in mining iii Some parts of the mining industry, such as metal and coal mining within Europe, operate under severe economic conditions, mainly because the deposits can no longer compete on an international level. The EU metal sector is .
[PDF]1. Mining waste makes up 80 percent of all solid waste generated in Sweden. 2. The presence of sulphides in mining waste means a risk for acid rock drainage which in turn can cause severe environmental impacts. 3. Mine waste facilities are often large, and if poorly designed, they may fail. 4. Once a mine closes the impact may be long-term.
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, respectively, due to the different ...
