DOI: 10.21276/sjet.2017.5.11.5 Abstract: The mining industry generates enormous volumes of mining wastes. Among these mine discharges, tailings are the most problematic given their very fine particle sizes and the chemicals used to process the ore. Moreover, if they contain iron and sulphides, their exposure to atmospheric agents, causes their oxidation and the production of …

Metals are currently almost exclusively extracted from their ore via physical excavation. This energy-intensive process dictates that metal mining remains among the foremost CO 2 emitters and mine waste is the single largest waste form by mass. We propose a new approach, electrokinetic in situ leaching (EK-ISL), and demonstrate its applicability for a Cu-bearing …

Heap leach mining is an industrial hydrometallurgical process, where the metal contained in an ore body is extracted by dissolution. The target mineral is leached with an aqueous solution whereby the mineral is dissolved into what is called a "pregnant" solution which, is then captured and later recovered downstream in the processing line.
