Technology may eliminate slurry tailings dams
FLSmidth recently announced it will join with Goldcorp to develop EcoTails, a new system the company said is intended to dramatically improve tailings and waste rock disposal while economically processing mine waste and increasing water recovery and reuse by as much as 95%. Together with Goldcorp, the world's third largest gold miner, FLSmidth is co-developing a system for co-mingling dewatered tailings with waste rock in a continuous process. Designed specifically for large-scale mining applications, the system is expected to be environmentally safer for managing tailings and waste rock storage and has the potential to eliminate conventional slurry tailings dams completely.
