However, the tailing slurry containing roughly 40–60% solids is discharged as a result of the process (Bleiwas, 2012). The primary environmental issues with copper mines are the disposal and dewatering of these tailings. Impurities such as heavy metals, chemical reagents, and fine particles are present in flotation slurries.
The two prominent methods for mine wastes management or storage are dams and dumps, according to Blight [].Mine tailing impoundments and dam failures are very common, and many literatures have reported this [13, 14] as a cause due to the geotechnical behaviour of tailings.The Fundao dam failure in 2015 [], Brumadinho dam disaster at Corrego do …
