Вовлечение техногенных минеральных объектов в полный цикл освоения рудных месторождений: решение проблем техносферной безопасности

Involving technogenic minerals into the full cycle of comprehensive exploitation of mineral resources: solving problems of technosphere safety

The methodology was substantiated and geological surveys were conducted at the tailing dump of the Sibay processing plant, after which assessment work was carried out. As part of the assessment work, 4 pilot holes were drilled, and testing was carried out. In the course of testing the tailings, the heterogeneity of its structure, color range, particle size, mineralogical and chemical composition, the presence of a large number of clay fractions was revealed. The variability of the physico-mechanical characteristics of the massif of the tailings and material composition, the high viscosity of the technogenic mass, the low stability of the massif led to detailed studies to evaluate the patterns of distribution of raw material moisture in the massif of the tailing, the acid-alkaline properties and the redox potential of the tailing dump materials, the patterns of distribution of industrial significant elements.
