Handling the Tailings and Residues Left After Ore Processing
Ore processing may be an environmentally friendly and energy efficient way to recover metals that would otherwise be lost.
Pregnant, Processing, and Barren Ponds
Each heap leaching facility has its own system for dealing with the leachate that flows from the pad.
Lining Pregnant and Processing Ponds the Right Way
Each heap leaching facility is unique in its design and the process it uses for ore recovery.
Protecting the Environment from Ore and Mineral Processing
Despite the risks that come with using chemicals to separate ore from rock
The Power of Solutions and Lixiviants for Separating Ore from Waste
Heap leaching is just the first stage in the ore recovery process.
How Do Processing Ponds Work as Part of the Mining Cycle?
Processing ponds are far from an isolated system on their own.
Heap Leaching and More for Ore Processing
There are many methods for extracting ore from the raw rock and minerals they’re often mixed in with.
Controlling Access, Evaporation Rate, and Stormwater Gain
For many decorative and recreational ponds, gaining some water during rainy seasons and losing a few inches during a hot summer has relatively little overall effect.
Which Liner Material Works Best for Barren and Processing Ponds?
Few other ponds have the stringent demands for liner durability and damage resistance of processing ponds.
Leak Detection and Collection Systems in Processing Ponds
With such sensitive material being handled in the leaching pad and processing pond system, it’s not surprising that many states require these facilities to integrate constant leak detection systems.
Solution Collection Ditches for Processing Ponds
While most mining facility managers focus their attention primarily on the processing ponds used for mineral and ore recovery, the collection and transportation ditches connecting the ponds together are just as important.
Sizing Processing Ponds
Sizing is slightly more complicated for processing ponds using in the mining industry than for other types of water features.
All About Heap Leach Pads
The entire hydrometallurgical process begins with a bulk collection of the raw materials containing the desired ore or mineral.
Why Processing Ponds Require the Best Liner Materials
Processing ponds, whether they’re designed to hold pregnant or barren solutions, require durable liners you can count on.
What are Pregnant, Barren, and Processing Ponds?
It’s a common misconception that ores are mined directly from rock in a pure form.
