Tailings and Mine Waste Management for the 21st Century 2015

Add to cart
The inaugural Tailings and Mine Waste Management for the
21st Century Conference was held in Sydney, Australia from 27-28 July 2015. This
new conference series aims to be the benchmark for sharing knowledge and
experience on tailings management and sustainable mining practice in Australia
and the rest of the world. The two-day technical program included keynote
presentations by four distinguished professors, as well as presentations on the
following themes: dewatering of tailings; geochemical characterisation,
treatment and environmental impacts; geotechnical characterisation and stability
analysis; operation, maintenance, closure and post-closure; planning and
management; and water management, seepage and groundwater control.
