Unearthing solutions for mining industry - Mining

Tailings, also called tailing ponds, are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable portion from an uneconomic portion of an ore. The pond is generally impounded with a dam and known as a tailings impoundment. Tailings ponds are used to store waste made from separating minerals from rocks (slurry) produced from mining. Companies that utilize ClosureTurf on its tailing impoundments for a capping medium will be able to add a renewable energy alternative with PowerCap™. This will allow mines to generate energy at their facility from waste sites.
