Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are an inevitable by-product produced during the beneficiation process of iron ore (Almeida et al., 2023). The rapid growth of mineral mining and ferrous metallurgy has led to an increase in the generation of IOTs. Approximately 0.40–0.60 tons of IOTs are generated in the treatment of 1.0 ton of iron ore.
As the grade of nonferrous ores is much lower than iron ore, to produce one tonne of ferrous metal, several hundred tonnes of ore have to be processed. Therefore, large quantities of "waste rocks" are generated in mining and beneficiation stages; for example, mining tailings, which are used in mining sites in tailing dam construction.
1. Introduction. The exploitation of iron ore requires the construction of dams to dispose of waste after processing it. This residual material is called tailings and the specific physical-chemical characteristics depend on the beneficiation process adopted and vary depending on the main constituents and the presence of trace elements and …
