Abstract

Paste technology is an efficient and cost effective method for reducing the amount of water in tailings. Paste is a mixture of solids and water that can prevent ground water or rain water from seeping in. Advantages of the technology include reduced capital cost, water conservation, decrease in the tailings disposal site area and reduced acid mine drainage (AMD). Operating cost of paste technology is high because of the cost involved in making the paste.
