Underground tailings placing - solution for the regional environmental problems
Surface placement of tailings - is a huge environmental problem for whole country or its region. The decision of the underground and surface placement of tailings with its transformation from liqud to paste/gel form reduces the surface area of tailing- storages, and prevent contaminants in the natural hydrogeological space. Optimum selection of mixing parameters allows maximum isolation of highly dangerous tailings of mining and processing plants.
