tailings, a filter with a large disc diameter of 5.6 m (L-type) is the appropriate filter size; this is available with one to four filter discs. A more detailed description is given by Hatzenbühler et al. (2013). These disc filters can be operated in a fully automated mode and thus can react online to changes in the filtration properties of the thickened tailings to maintain the required,
The Ajka Timfoldgyar Alumina Plant Tailings Dam Accident October 4th 2010 in Hungary. Hungary's government estimated that it would cost more than US$51 million and take at least a year to clean up the damage. Hungarian state news service MTI estimated at the time of the accident that Hungary stores about 50 million tons of the red tailings with about 800,000 tons
Belt filters normally provide very high equipment availability compared to disc and drum filters, as they are very simple to operate and maintain. Where Cake washing is required, there many case studies where multiple disc / drum filters used for cake washing are replaced with one belt filter to filter and cake wash in one unit.
Tailings Filter Press - Dewatering Solutions for Mining Dry Stack Tailings are becoming an increasingly viable and attractive alternative to tailing impoundments in the mining industry. A Filter Press delivers some of the best results from competing dewatering technologies.
In the past, the OPEX of filter presses was considered higher than that of maintaining tailings dams. But the value is incalculable and incomparable when it comes to an extreme case caused by the rupture of a dam. With regard to the controls and associated risks, the safe stacks of dry tailings are an advantage over the dams.
• Filtered tailings disposal: involves removal of water by vacuum or pressure methods. Tailings are ‘dewatered’ using drum, disc, or belt filters (by vacuum) or with filter presses or belt press filters (using pressure) to slurry densities greater than 85% solids by weight. The ‘dry cake’ or ‘filter cake’ material requires transportation by truck or conveyor. doi:10.36487/ACG_rep,
14/10/2020· The tailings dam at Hindustan Zinc Ltd’s (HZL) Zawar location was reaching capacity for conventional wet deposition with no space nearby to expand. The company was looking for a tailings management system that offered significant benefits in terms of environmental sustainability, process water recovery, and footprint of the tailings storage

FLSmidth will also supply two Automatic Filter Presses (AFP-IV™, pictured), two E-Disc filters and one 26 m diameter High-Density Thickener as the main pieces of equipment. The project is expected to be completed by February 2022. This new order follows a previous tailings-related order for Hindustan Zinc at its Zawar mine site in 2018. Hindustan Zinc operates beneficiation
Dry Stack Tailings are becoming an increasingly viable and attractive alternative to tailing impoundments in the mining industry. A Filter Press delivers some of the best results from competing dewatering technologies. By dewatering tailings to a relatively “dry cake,” this stable and stackable form of storage is ideal for mining companies.
4 Filtration of gold/copper tailings with the Boozer disc filter 4.1 Filter layout In the case of a copper and gold mine, the tailings are used for mine backfill. During layout tests the tailings consisted of particles with a mean diameter size of d 50 of 20-30 microns and were thickened to >50 wt% in a thickener. Filtration tests with two tailing samples, one with a d 50 close to 20
Filtered tailings allow better recovery of dissolved metals and process chemicals (e.g. gold and cyanide). Dry stack facilities are also easier to close and rehabilitate, require a smaller footprint compared to other surface tailings storage options (i.e. higher density), can be utilised in aggressive environments (e.g. undulating and steep terrain) and generate better regulator and

BoVac Disc filters are characterized by: up to 100 % more throughput than conventional disc filters. very small footprint due to large specific filter surface. fully automatic operation. high flexibility due to extremely good adaptability to process fluctuations. safe operation and high availability. easy and fast filter cloth change.
which can be divided into paste and dry-type tailings filter cake due to different moisture. Since 2008, the Chinese government has increasingly recognized the danger of -stacking of tailings throughout the country. Through practice in recent years, it is found that the biggest problem of dry tailings stockpiling is rainfall and dust, and the equipment investment cost is high, the
