Repurposing Of Mine Wastes

固体废物的长期可持续管理是采矿业的一项重大挑战，也是政府监管的优先事项。拟议的研究计划侧重于将尾矿再利用的过程整合到常规采矿作业中，以减少对环境的影响。对矿山废物进行再利用是一种很有希望的办法，既可减轻环境影响，又可最大限度地利用资源，并从废物中创造价值。研究结果预计将改善工艺的设计和效率，从矿山废物中去除感兴趣的金属（loid），从而降低环境污染的风险，促进现有和发展中项目的社会接受度。

The long-term, sustainable management of solid wastes is a major challenge in the mining industry and a priority for government regulation. The proposed research program focuses on integrating processes to repurpose mine tailings into regular mining operations in order to reduce environmental impacts. Repurposing mine wastes represents a promising approach to mitigate environmental impacts while also maximizing resource utilization and value generation from wastes. Findings are expected to improve the designs and efficiencies of processes to remove metal(loid)s of interest from mine wastes, thereby reducing the risks of environmental contamination and promoting the social acceptability of existing and developing projects.
