Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

Combining with the characteristics of upstream tailings ponds, the common problems in the operation of upstream tailings pond and the corresponding treatment measures were analyzed. Taking the closure treatment of a tailings pond as an example, it was shown that the most basic treatment measures for the closure treatment of tailings pond should include the treatment measures of tailings dam, flood drainage system and monitoring facilities, and targeted management should be carried out according to the specific situation of the tailings pond, so as to achieve long-term stability after the closure of tailings pond.
