A Quantitative Particle-Based Approach for the Geometallurgical Assessment of Tailings Deposits

Tailings generated during ore processing may host significant residual contents of valuable commodities, including critical metals. The particle properties of the tailings, such as mineralogy, particle size, and the surface liberation of ore minerals, strongly control processing behaviour. This stud...
