  1. 6. On the behaviour of tailings dams : Management in cold regions

    Författare :Roger Knutsson; Jan Laue; Andy Fourie; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Associated to mining activities there is mine waste generated. The residues left over from mineralextraction processes are referred to as tailings, normally stored in surface tailings facilities. Thefacilities are usually confined by embankment dams, so called tailings dams. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Critical hydraulic gradients in tailings dams : comparison to natural analogies

    Författare :Isabel Jantzer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing demand of metals and minerals has made it economical for the mining industry to mine low-grade deposits, which results in immense quantities of by-products. In fact, such by-products, i.e. tailings, are the largest waste volumes produced on earth. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Numerical analyses of stability of a gradually raised tailings dam

    Författare :Muhammad Auchar Zardari; Daichao Sheng; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tailings dams; consolidation; rockfill berms; slope stability; corner; internal erosion; finite element analysis; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Numerical analyses are presented in this thesis to address potential stability problems that may occur during gradual raisings and under seismic loading conditions of Aitik tailings dam in northern Sweden. The dam is mainly raised using upstream construction method. It is planned to raise the dam gradually in several stages. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Monitoring of tailings dams with geophysical methods

    Författare :Ganesh Mainali; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och Berganläggningsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Several dam failure accidents have occurred during the last years and mine tailings dam failures are occurring at relatively high rates. Studies of past earth dam failures show embankment dam problems and failures are often related to internal erosion in one way or another. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Effect of Physical Weathering on Mechanical Properties of Tailings

    Författare :Juan Rodriguez; Kauko Kujala; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : The mining activity produces minerals to supply to the modern society with commodities. During the ore refining process large amounts of tailings are generated as waste. Tailings are the result of crushing and wet milling, typically in the size range of sand to silt and angular in shape. LÄS MER
