New technology allows it to recover up to 40% of the gold left in particle form in tailings. DRD Gold extracted 33,600 ounces of gold, worth nearly US$40 million, in the last quarter of 2013. Mintails, a mine tailings processor, has developed new technology to process 350,000 tons of slimes from its extensive tailings resources.
Australia, on average, the production of 1 tonne of iron ore results in the generation of 2 tonnes of iron ore tailings [7]. In Brazil, it is estimated that for each tonne of beneficiat ed iron ore, 400 kg of tailings are produced, and based on the 2014 production, about 275.5 million tonnes of …
The cement industry has for some time been seeking alternative raw material for the Portland cement clinker production. The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of utilizing iron ore tailings (IOT) to replace clay as alumina-silicate raw material for the production of Portland cement clinker. For this purpose, two kinds of clinkers were prepared: …
For 2016, the Company expects to recover a total of approximately 25,000 lbs. of U3O8 from Pond Returns at the Mill," the release stated. After the updates, and noting Energy Fuels' guidance ...

Mining involves the processing of mined ore to separate valuable minerals, leaving behind huge volumes of waste tailings. Driven by mining volumes, globally generated tailings are estimated to ...
The optimum reaction parameters were proposed as the following: ratio of coal: iron ore tailings as 1:100, roasting at 800 degrees C for 30 min, and milling 15 min of roasted samples. With these optimum parameters, the grade of magnetic concentrate was 61.3% Fe and recovery rate of 88.2%. With this method, a great amount of iron can be reused.
recover most of the iron values lost at present from the washery tailings. The high grade iron ore fines can be used in the sinter feed to some extent without affecting the sinter qualities using suitable sintering techniques. In order to get the raw material at lower cost the utility of super grade iron fine concentr-
Today many types of tailings are generated in the mining operations. Particularly, in the iron ore industry, although 99% of the generated tailings are composed by …
Recovering fine iron minerals from Itakpe iron ore process tailing. ABSTRACT. Recovery and concentrate grades in a mineral processing plant are affected by many factors among which are … tonnes consists mainly of quartzite with magnetite and hematite … tailing material showed that the present flowsheet … »More detailed
Recently, a method involving direct reduction followed by magnetic separation has been used to recover iron from red mud, vanadium tailings, pyrite slag, copper slag, cyanide tailings, and IOTs [ 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ]. This method has the advantage of high iron recovery, and is especially suitable for ore with a low iron grade.
Typically, mill tailings range from sand to silt-clay in particle size. Ore is material that contains a mineral commodity of value required to sustain modern life. Mineral commodities commonly recovered in the United States are copper, gold, silver, iron, lead, zinc, uranium and coal.
Mineral flexibility – CDE's systems can be applied in the processing of a variety of ores, including gold, copper, zinc, and iron ore. Holland believes that this combination of processes is applicable in South Africa, as environmental restrictions are changing and becoming more stringent, there is increased focus on making tailings dams safer and more sustainable.
Say a copper mine produced 1Mt of metal in 1999 at 90% recovery. The remaining 10% of copper, around 111kt, went to tailings. If the average copper price in 1999 was US$1,500/tonne then that 10% represented US$166.5 million of metal. Fast forward 20 years and at today's price, US$5,842/tonne, if that material could be reprocessed and an extra ...
Iron ore tailings are industrial solid wastes generated from mineral processing. The disposal of iron ore tailings leads to environmental threat and serious security because of their tiny particle size and large storage. In this paper, suspension magnetization roasting and magnetic separation technology were utilized to recover iron tailings. The results showed …

In this study, a pilot-scale experiment on the iron recovery from iron ore tailings was investigated using innovative technology of pre-concentration and suspension magnetization roasting (SMR), followed by magnetic separation and flotation.(PDF) Recovery of Ultra-Fine Iron Ore from Iron Ore Tailings,Experiments have shown that it is possible to obtain a concentrate …
Cyanide tailing is a kind of solid waste produced in the process of gold extraction from gold ore. In this paper, recovery of iron from cyanide tailings was studied with reduction roasting-water leaching process followed by magnetic separation. After …
Therefore, the recovery and utilization of iron in iron ore tailings are very important to save iron resources. At present, magnetizing roasting and direct reduction are the two main ways to recycle iron from tailings or other iron contained wastes [12]. The differences between them are summarized in Table 1. Table 1.
