Geochemistry of a copper mine tailings deposit in Repparfjorden
The shape of the present mine tailing deposit and the strong currents in the inlet leads to the interpretation that the deposited material is barely covered by natural sediments. This can be seen in the chemistry and copper concentrations in core 6, which was taken on top of the deposit (Fig. 5). This core shows high copper concentrations ...

What are Tailings
Tailings are a by-product of mining. After ore containing an economically-recoverable commodity is mined from the earth, that commodity is extracted in a processing plant or mill. After the commodity of value is extracted from the ore material, the resultant waste stream is termed "tailings". Typically, mill tailings range from sand to silt ...

The gradation curve of copper tailing modified sand was expected to be similar to Fuller curve as much as possible and be classified into zone II. With the increase of copper tailing content, the number of particles ranging from 0.075 mm to 0.6 mm increased, which decreased the convex level and slope of mixed sand gradation curves.

However, the tailing slurry containing roughly 40–60% solids is discharged as a result of the process (Bleiwas, 2012). The primary environmental issues with copper mines are the disposal and dewatering of these tailings. Impurities such as heavy metals, chemical reagents, and fine particles are present in flotation slurries.
