The inevitable depletion of mineral resources, the constant deterioration of the geological and mining conditions for the development of mineral deposits and the restoration of raw materials from mining waste by recycling are all urgent problems we face today. The solution to this problem may ensure: a considerable extension of raw material source; decrease of investments in opening new deposit...

Due to economical and environmental issues, utilization of mineral wastes, e.g. iron ore mine tailing (IOMT), as road materials can be recommended as a sustainable alternative. In the present study, mechanical properties, as well as resistance to freezing and thawing cycles (F-T) of low plasticity clay soil stabilized with different percentages of Portland cement (0, 6, 9, 12 and 15%) and diffe...

Background, aim and scope In water systems, water quality and geochemical properties of sediments determine the speciation of trace metals, metal transport, and sediment-water exchange, influencing metal availability and its potential effects to biota. Studies from temperate climates have shown that iron-ore mining and tailing wastewaters, besides being a source of trace metals, usually show hi...

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to determine the flow lead, zinc and silver metals at enrichment factory in Trepça. authors have determined flows discharged into tailing Kelmend. In addition, they make a correction for losses Pb, Zn, Ag metals, which are very high. Methods. Ore has been studied two years production process lead concentrates based on following facts: selective separation m...

1. Introduction Slopes in quarries and open pit mines, as well as all the types of embankments (stockpiles, tailing dams, waste dumps) resulting from mining and mineral processing activities, must be considered as "geotechnical structures". Therefore, the design and implementation of these structures must be conducted with all consideration. Considering an economical plan, the selection of reas...
