Comparing Analysis on the Way of Tailings Disposal in China and Australia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tailings are sand like waste what is made by concentrator which elected the valuable concentrate with metallic or non-metallic mining ores. Tailings disposal methods are affected by the topographic and geologic conditions, physical and mechanical properties of tailings, the state environmental control standards and many other factors. Especially the huge differences of each countrys topographic and geologic conditions always lead to the disposal of tailings in very different ways. This paper comparatively analyses the tailings disposal methods of China and Australia. And the evolution of Australias tailings disposal in four generation and the history, current situation and development direction of our countrys tailings disposal are discussed in detail. Then the development direction of tailings disposal is summed at the end.
