The global transition to a circular economy calls for research and development on
technologies facilitating sustainable resource recovery from wastes and by-products. Metal …

Without appropriate and responsible waste management in place, the cursory storage of
tailings and waste rocks on the surface can cause devastating damage to the planet's …

Cemented tailings-rock fill (CTRF) is crucial for engineering intention and durability of re-
filled stopes in deep underground mines. The current work examined the effects of fragment …

Remining has been researched for decades, but its potential to supplement virgin extraction
is currently unknown. This review addresses the remining of tailings/waste rock, coal …

In this study, the potential of bioleaching to extract valuable metals from industrial by-
products, specifically basic oxygen steelmaking dust (BOS-D) and goethite was investigated …

This study investigated two bioleaching strategies for removing heavy metals from three
mine tailings fractions generated by flotation processes. On the one hand, bioleaching with …

For many years, research on the microbial-dissolution of metals from ores or waste materials
mainly focussed on the study of acidophilic organisms. However, most acidophilic …

The development of green methods to process and use iron tailings is crucial due to the
accumulation of tailings, which poses significant environmental and human health risks. In …

Tailings generated during ore processing may host significant residual contents of valuable
commodities, including critical metals. The particle properties of the tailings, such as …

The increased exploitation of ores leads to the generation of mining waste, which has a
negative impact on the environment and human health. For this reason, it is necessary to …
