Study of mineralogical and physicochemical properties of samples of flotation tailings "Rudnik" mine

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this study, two samples of flotation tailings from the "Rudnik" Mine (one from boreholes and one from the surface) were examined. Various physical and chemical properties were analyzed, including gross and hygroscopic moisture, specific mass, bulk density in both loose and compacted states, and specific weight. Additionally, granulometric and chemical compositions were determined. A qualitative mineralogical analysis was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), along with the preparation of polished sections for optical and SEM microscopy. Comprehensive physicochemical and mineralogical tests were performed to define all parameters necessary for the valorization and recycling of flotation tailings from the "Rudnik" Mine.
