COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, AJN 29, 2018 -- FLSmidth and Goldcorp are the joint winners of the Mining Magazine Editor's Award 2017 for developing EcoTails™, a new mining system that improves tailings and waste rock disposal while recovering as much as 95% of the tailings water.
EcoTails combines two major footprint consumers in mining operations; the tailings facility and the waste rock facility. By dewatering tailings via fast filtering technology and recycling the water back into the process, the system dramatically improves tailings and waste rock disposal, while allowing water recovery of up to as much as 95%. By combining dewatered tailings with waste rock, the EcoTails system creates a stackable GeowasteTM product with less impact on the environment than waste rock or tailings individually.
哥本哈根, 丹麦, AJN 29, 2018-FLSmidth 和 Goldcorp 公司是2017年针对EcotailTM开发的杂志编辑奖的联合获胜者, 这个新的采矿系统改进了尾矿和废弃岩石的处置,同时回收多达95% 的尾矿水。
EcoTails 在采矿业务中结合了两个主要的足迹消费者;尾矿设施和废弃岩石设施。通过快速过滤技术对尾矿进行脱水, 将水再循环回工艺中, 从而大大改善了尾矿和废弃岩石的处理, 同时使水的回收率高达95%。通过将尾矿脱水与废弃岩石相结合, EcoTails 系统创建了一个堆叠的 GeowasteTM 产品, 对环境的影响比单独的废弃岩石或尾矿少。
