Mine Tailings: Fundamental and Engineering Aspects of Colloidal/Fine Mine Wastes closely examines mine waste and issues related to storage, safety, the environment, water, and sustainability. The book opens with a review of the regulations and global standards of tailings management along with a look at common types of tailings storage facilities. Several chapters detail the behavior of tailings materials, such as particle interactions and dispersion/aggregation, rheology of mineral suspensions, soil mechanics, and toxic substance treatment. There is an in-depth look at managing the closure of mine waste management facilities as well as the safety of tailings storage facilities. Finally, the authors examine the environmental, social, and government factors necessary for sustainable mining operations. This text provides a valuable resource for researchers and engineers interested in understanding and mitigating the impacts of mine waste.
