MINERAL PROCESSING WASTE UTILIZATION
Abstract
Development of specific engineering solutions for environmentally friendly mineral processing waste management and their practical implementation is an important step on the way to resource efficiency, sustainable development and Earth preservation. Specific engineering solutions application for technological waste management reduce the natural resources use and have a direct positive environmental effect. The technological mineral processing waste have to be study in two aspects - as sustainable development problem and as alternative mineral raw materials. Two fundamental features characterized the beginning of the 21st century. The first is population growth, as well as industrial production. This also determines the increase in resources prospecting, exploitation, mining of new deposits and mineral production. The second fundamental feature is the emergence and high technology development which set the objective prerequisites for integration and globalization of many activities. Due to the outstanding science and technology achievements, humanity has a powerful conceptual toolkit, allowing new paradigm development and implementation, both for exploration and mineral resources processing, as well as for the environment protection and circular economy development. This paper describes an overview of the various approaches and technology applied for processing of mineral beneficiation waste. The different technological approaches and methods are systematized and presented by specific technological solutions including the opportunities for increasing useful component recovery by technological losses reducing, the possibilities of useful components extraction from technogenic deposits, biphasic separation of process waste and their dry disposal, mineral processing waste transformation into new secondary products, with new quality characteristics.
