The mining and ore processing of sulfide-bearing deposits generates large volumes of
waste rock (WR) and tailings, which often contain barren and residual iron sulfides (eg …

The aim of this project is to assess the efficiency of pyrrhotite rich tailings desulfurization and
its capacity to make mine operations more sustainable and respectful to the environment …

Mine site reclamation is a major concern for mining companies, especially when mine
tailings are potentially acid generating mine drainage. For mine sites located in Arctic …

The hydrogeochemical behavior of highly reactive tailings with no or very low neutralizing
capacity and their hydrogeochemical response when covered by a cover with capillary …

Mine wastes from sulfide-bearing ore extraction and processing are often stored at the
surface of mine sites and could generate mine drainage. Prediction tests are completed to …

Tailings and waste rocks can be used to build covers with capillary barrier effects (CCBE) for
the purposes of reclaiming acid-generating waste storage facilities while enhancing the …

The substantial volumes of tailings produced during ore beneficiation present significant
challenges for sustainable management due to potential public health hazards, particularly …

Tailings filtration has many advantages (eg, water recirculation, progressive reclamation,
reduction of geotechnical risks and of environmental footprint) and is increasingly used by …

Insulation covers can be used to reclaim mine sites in cold regions with continuous
permafrost. These covers aim to maintain reactive wastes below a target temperature (T …

Weathering cell test, designed specifically to overcome material-limited constraints, yields
prompt and efficient experimental assessment during the development stages of mining …
