Huangjiagou pyrite mine, the pyrite tailings were investigated through a series of batch experiments under different initial pH of extractant, temperature, liquid-solid (LS) ratio, and soaking time conditions. Moreover, calcium carbonate was added in the pyrite tailings to determine the reduction effect on the release of heavy metals. The results show that Fe, Cr, Cu, Mn, Zn, and Ni were the major heavy metals in the pyrite tailings

Aug 15, 2021 Mineralogically, samples can be best described as polymetallic sulfides, where pyrite (FeS 2) is the main component, as seen in Table 1, which also provides information regarding the degree of liberation (the percentage of exposed surfaces) of each mineral, determined from mineralogical analysis via QEM-SCAN. From this information, it is clear that samples are mostly pyrite for both feed and tailings, although tailings

Considering that the softening temperature of the SiO 2-CaO-Na 2 CO 3 mixture is around 850–900 C and the presence of pyrite in the tailings, the pore formation in the samples was mainly due to the dehydration reaction of the hydrated form of silica and also due to the oxidation of FeS 2, according to the reaction indicated by

Jan 28, 2021 By separating the pyrite from the tailings by flotation during the final years of operation of a plant, two fundamental aspects could be achieved: (1) a neutral tailings can be produced and used as a cover material for the dam containment wall, and (2) encapsulation of the pyrite concentrate with 2–3 m of fine material with little capacity to generate AMD enhances the chemical stability of the tailings

The results in Table 4 show that the pyrite content in the mineral solids of original tailings is about 6.1wt%. After two cycle of oxidation the pyrite content in the mineral solids was about 5.1%. The results indicate that the pyrite content in mineral solids of the tailings that had subjected two dry-wetting cycles is lower than that in the original tailings, indicating some oxidation of pyrite

May 29, 2012 Sulphidic residual products from ore processing may produce acid rock drainage, when exposed to oxygen and water. Predictions of the magnitude of ARD and sulphide oxidation rates are of great importance in mine planning because they can be used to minimize or eliminate ARD and the associated economic and environmental costs. To address the lack of field data of sulphide oxidation

Pyrite-rich cyanide tailings (CTs) are industrial hazardous solid wastes arising from the gold mining industry. Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of cyanide tailings are produced and discharged to tailings dams. It is of great significance to dispose of cyanide tailings harmlessly and resourcefully.

Oct 04, 2018 Spain has a long mining tradition dating from pre-historic times up to the present day. The cessation of mining activity has generated a large amount of mine wastes, most of which represent geochemical hazards. Mine tailings are watery sludge composed of medium-to-fine-grained material, resulting from grinding and mineral processing (e.g., galena, pyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite)
