Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

Combined with a practical valley-type tailings dam project, under the premise of meeting the existing policies，two feasible dam construction schemes of centerline embankment method and upstream embankment method were comprehensively compared and analyzed from the aspects of reservoir capacity, service life, economy, safety, environmental impact and operation management, and the results showed that the centerline embankment method was better. The analysis method used can provide ideas for similar projects.
