Experimental investigation on the separation capabilities and limitation of Falcon semi-batch concentrator

Ranjeet Kumar Singh et al.

Summary: The experimental results suggest that the separation efficiency of the Falcon Semi-batch concentrator is higher for lower feed grades and poor below a concentration ratio of 3. By increasing the concentration ratio from 2.4 to 3, the separation efficiency of the Falcon concentrator was significantly enhanced from 15.3% to 66.1%.

A Review of Tungsten Resources and Potential Extraction from Mine Waste

Zhengdong Han et al.

Summary: Tungsten is a critical metal with unique properties and economic importance, used in various industries for its hardness, density, wear resistance, and high-temperature capabilities. The primary tungsten minerals are wolframite and scheelite, with limited secondary resources. While there are no reported concerns for tungsten toxicity, tungsten tailings and residues pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Reprocessing of tungsten tailings using techniques like enhanced gravity separation and bioleaching may play a key role in the future.

Recovery of Zinc and Copper from Mine Tailings by Acid Leaching Solutions Combined with Carbon-Based Materials

Maria Luisa Alvarez et al.

Summary: Mine tailings pose significant environmental risks by contaminating air, soil, and water with metals and soluble salts. Utilizing carbon-based materials such as activated carbon and charcoal can enhance the extraction of zinc and copper from low-grade tailings, contributing to environmental risk reduction and potential industrial application. Additional research is needed to optimize the properties of these materials for better recovery efficiency.

Development of ECO-UHPC utilizing gold mine tailings as quartz sand alternative

Tanvir Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study explores the use of gold mine tailings as a substitute for quartz sand in UHPC, with results showing that up to 80% of quartz sand can be replaced by tailings while achieving comparable or higher compressive strength. UHPCs made with tailings exhibit lower water absorption and toxic metal leachability, and can reduce material and transportation costs while lowering CO2 emissions. Utilizing tailings near the mine site can be a more sustainable option for construction projects requiring UHPC with high strength.
