Tailings Processing is our operations division which provides a chemical free, environmentally friendly solution to the process of extracting minerals from tailings. Their technique also reduces the negative environmental effect of the chemicals remaining in the tailings from the original mining process.

In mining, tailings are the unwanted byproduct that affects the environment. But with the separation process called GravSep, acid forming mineral content of the tailings is reduced. The result: cleaner tailings.

Mining usually produces byproducts, called tailings, that are harmful to the environment. But with the physical separation process, which is GravSep, harmful substances in the tailings are significantly reduced.

Tailings

Tailings are the dirt left after sifting out the gold, so they look like piles of dirt.

The waste material left after a mineral has been extracted is called tailings. Tailings are the byproduct of the mining process, and they often contain leftover minerals, water, and other materials that were not extracted during mining. Proper disposal and management of tailings are crucial to minimize environmental impacts.

The New Cornelia Tailings Dam is cited as one of the world's largest dams. It was not constructed but rather formed from the waste rock (tailings) from the local mine. It was closed in 1983.

A waste product from iron ore processing is tailings, which are fine-grained materials left over after the extraction of iron from the ore. Tailings are typically stored in tailings ponds or disposed of in other ways to prevent environmental contamination.

The New Cornelia Tailings dam in Arizona was constructed in the late 1930s as a part of the mining operations in the area.

Tailings in materials in mineral processing are all the byproducts which are not directly used. As the minerals pass through the plant, tailings are ejected and processed elsewhere.

One waste product from iron ore processing is tailings, which are the byproducts of the mining and extraction process. Tailings are typically comprised of finely ground rock, water, and residual chemicals used in the extraction process. They are often stored in large containment areas called tailings dams.

Mining waste is called tailings

Mine tailings contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals that can pollute soil and water sources if not properly contained. These pollutants can lead to ecosystem degradation, harm to wildlife, and pose health risks to humans. Additionally, mine tailings can contribute to acid mine drainage, which further exacerbates environmental damage.

A waste product from iron ore processing is called tailings. Tailings are a mixture of finely-ground rock, water, and other residues that are left over after the iron ore has been extracted and processed.

One byproduct of mining iron is the creation of tailings, which are a mixture of water, fine particles, and residual chemicals. Tailings can be harmful to the environment if not properly managed and can contaminate soil and water sources. Governments and mining companies are working to develop more sustainable practices to minimize the impact of iron mining byproducts.

Radioactive and chemically toxic wastes result from the mining and processing of uranium as well as from storing or reprocessing spent reactor fuel. The tailings or waste produced by the extraction or concentration of uranium from its ore contain radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium, and radium as well as significant concentrations of heavy metal including chromium, lead, molybdenum, and vanadium. More than 200 pounds of tailings are produced for each pound of uranium. This sandy waste material must be contained in carefully monitored sites known as tailings piles.
