All mining operations involve the production of waste. Many regard such waste (tailings) and their environmentally acceptable storage as constituting the largest waste problem on Earth because of the enormous damage and loss-of-life that have resulted from failures of tailings storage facilities. This project focuses on a dewatering technology, electro-osmosis (EO), which has yet to be fully operationalised, for improving the strength, stability and settlement characteristics of the tailings. Sophisticated testing will be undertaken at three scales (lab, meso and, most importantly, field), as well as the development of generic numerical models, to create practical guidelines to facilitate the implementation of EO in mines around the world.

所有采矿作业都涉及废物的产生。许多人认为这种废物（尾矿）及其环境上可接受的储存是地球上最大的废物问题，因为尾矿储存设施的故障造成了巨大的破坏和生命损失。该项目的重点是一种脱水技术，即电渗透（EO），该技术尚未完全投入使用，以改善尾矿的强度，稳定性和沉降特性。将在三个规模（实验室、中间和最重要的实地）进行复杂的测试，并开发通用数字模型，以制定实用的指导方针，促进在世界各地的矿山实施EO。
