Sedimentary phosphate mines produce millions of tons of waste rocks during their open-pit mining. In addition, during ore phosphate beneficiation, fluorapatite is separated from …
The way to successfully upgrade a phosphate ore is based on the full understanding of its mineralogy, minerals surface properties, minerals distribution and liberation. The conception …
Mine wastes can result in severe pollution and have unaesthetic impacts on the local environment and negative repercussions on human health. Currently, phytomanagement …
The management of mine tailings has become a worldwide environmental concern. In essence, with the increasing ecological disruptions related to tailings storage facilities, there …
Reuse of mine waste as alternative raw material in the construction sector is a promising environmental solution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of phosphate …
Sedimentary phosphate extraction in open-pit operations generates large volumes of waste rock (WR), which are mainly overburdens and interburdens. Traditionally, the WR is mixed …
The road construction sector is a worldwide high consumer of natural aggregates. The use of unusual industrial by-products in road techniques can contribute to the conservation of …
The management of mine waste has become an urgent issue, especially in semi-arid environments. In this context, and with an aim to inhibit the oxidation of the sulfide tailings of …
The focus of this study was to evaluate the potential reuse of mixed mine tailings and waste rock in water-balance covers (WBCs). Reuse of mine waste in geoengineering applications …
