Comprehensive treatment process of tailings

Tailings are the wastes produced after ore dressing or smelting process. The secondary utilization of tailings refers to the reprocessing of tailings, from which valuable components are extracted or transformed into utilizable products.

The comprehensive treatment process of tailings includes the following main steps:

1. Pre-treatment of tailings: tailings need to go through the pre-treatment process before secondary utilization. This includes drying, crushing, screening and other operations on the tailings in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the subsequent treatment.

2. Sorting and flotation: Tailings may contain valuable minerals, which can be separated from the tailings through sorting and flotation processes. This can be achieved by physical sorting, chemical sorting, re-election and other methods.

3. Tailings leaching: Valuable substances in tailings, such as metal elements, can be extracted by leaching process. Common leaching methods include acid leaching, alkali leaching, cyanide leaching, etc. According to the characteristics of the tailings and the nature of the target elements, choose the appropriate leaching agent and process conditions.

4. Recovery and transformation: After leaching and other processes, the valuable substances in the tailings are extracted and can be recovered and transformed. This includes the purification of metals, the preparation of compounds, the processing of building materials and so on.

5. Comprehensive utilization of tailings: After the aforementioned processing steps, the valuable substances extracted from tailings can be used to produce various products, such as building materials, cement, fertilizers and so on. Meanwhile, the remaining waste can be used for landfill and soil remediation after treatment.

The specific design of the comprehensive treatment process is based on the characteristics of the tailings, the objectives of resource utilization and the requirements of environmental protection. In the implementation of the secondary utilization of tailings, it is necessary to fully consider the technical feasibility, economy and environmental friendliness, and strictly comply with relevant regulations and standards to ensure that the secondary utilization of tailings reaches the goal of sustainable development.
