The reprocessing of tailings resources to extract gold on an industrial scale has become common practice. While these projects are common in the Witwatersrand basin, similar low-technology processes are not operational in smaller goldfields. This study explores the possibility of reclaiming the tailings dump of

Recovering copper is a crucial strategy to keep up with demand. One approach is to reprocess mining tailings to extract the vital copper resources within.
and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) on the environment and human health. • Facilitate the reprocessing of tailings for the recovery of gold found in the tailings. • Generate a higher degree of awareness among those in the ASGM sector about the importance of eliminating the use of mercury during gold extraction and processing.
Serbia has copper deposits which have been exploited since ancient times, and these operations have generated large amounts of mineral processing tailings. The main objective of this study is...
The most effective extraction of copper (84 to >90%) was achieved by bioleaching the tailings at 45 °C, using a defined microbial consortium, where elemental sulfur was added to the tailings and the pH of leach liquors allowed to fall to ∼pH 1, at which point anaerobic conditions were imposed.
2. Process flow of extracting titanium from copper tailings (1)Gravity separation process. The gravity separation process is a process of separation using density differences between minerals. In this process, the copper tailings are first crushed and ground to a suitable particle size to ensure the full dissociation of the minerals.
2. Gold mine tailings dry stacking. The tailings dry stacking process relieves the storage capacity pressure of the tailings pond, reduces the safety hazards of the tailings pond, and the return water utilization reduces the pressure of sewage treatment, saving the production and operation costs of the mine, which is the requirement of the national green and …
In addition, gold tailings contain a certain amount of gold, as well as valuable metals, such as silver, copper, zinc, lead, titanium, ... Many methods were researched to treat with the gold tailings, and then extract gold from the tailings, however, these methods failed to realize the industrial method due to some shortcomings. Therefore, the ...
In gold, copper sulfide and iron ore tailings, the potential of extracting minerals is an opportunity. Reprocessing tailings to collect the valuable minerals can be a cost-effective approach compared to processing material.
Minerals 2022, 12, 612 3 of 12 ores. The study showed that 85.1% of gold was dissolved into leachate from different ores by leaching with glycine (1.5 kg/t) and potassium permanganate (3 kg/t) for ...

The 12-month ReTail project, in partnership with CPI, aims to establish the feasibility and environmental impact of processing tailings from Altilium's site in Europe to extract copper, aluminium and other battery materials for use in the UK EV battery supply chain (for example, to produce copper foils for use as current collectors).
Recently, copper-citrate-thiosulfate leaching was tested on refractory gold ore, exhibiting a similar extraction capability for gold, in which the predominant gold species is Au (S 2 O 3) 2 3 − rather than Au (N H 3) 2 + (Wang et al., 2019).
The recovery of gold via CIL enhanced gold extraction by 15%, but had no obvious effect on copper extraction. This study provides an alternative and promising cyanide …
The project will specifically target nickel, cobalt, scandium, zinc, and potentially other metals, using an ion-exchange recovery system to extract from heap leach copper solutions. The type of extraction method that can be …
Extraction of valuable metals from tailings dumps (or residues or low grade stockpiles) traditionally regarded as waste, has long been researched by metallurgists. A number of developments in mineral processing technology have combined to make the retreatment of numerous tailings dumps a profitable
The present study investigated the extraction of gold and copper from gold sulfide flotation tailings using a cyanide-free leaching method, i.e., glycine-ammonia solution in the presence of...
