TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION OF ACIDIC WASTE ROCK AND TAILINGS - A 14 YEAR CASE STUDY
Castro, J.M. | Mine Design, Operations, and Closure Conference, 7-9 May, Butte, MT, 41 slides, 2019
A three-part treatment and revegetation program was implemented at the Mount Carrington mine site in Australia from 2000-2013. Program #1 involved the rehabilitation of acidic waste rock in three treatment areas by amendment with lime and biosolids, capping with clay and topsoil, and the addition of Bauxsol (Terra B) reagent. Each area was planted with native trees, and tree growth was monitored. Program #2 evaluated variations of Terra B treatment. Program #3 treated exposed tailings beach with Terra B. Results suggesting the effectiveness of Terra B in promoting reclamation of acidic waste rock are presented. https://www.mtech.edu/mwtp/2019_presentations/wednesday/Jim-Castro.pdf
