Geotechnical Investigation of Uranium Tailings
With the increasing uranium demand for power generation, the mining industry is considering expansion of existing facilities. The management of tailings, generated as a by-product of ore beneficiation, in containment structures is particularly important to minimize the environmental footprint. A …

Hydrogeochemical and radiometric investigation of the uranium tailings Schneckenstein
… of the environmental contamination risk from the tailings materials. In order to achieve this task, hydrogeological, mineralogical, geochemical, hydrochemical, and isotope studies were conducted at the uranium tailings Schneckenstein. Four cores were taken at the tailing sites by drilling to …

The rheological characterisation of non- Newtonian slurries using a novel balanced beam tube viscometer
… with the rotary type viscometer. Kaolin clay and uranium tailings slimes slurries of different particle size range and concentration have been successfully characterised by yield- pseudoplastic rheologies using the BBTV. The BBTV is in fact a miniature pipeline and it has been shown that it is …

The isotope geochemistry of uranium: Igneous petrology, ore deposits, and groundwater contamination
… three geologic settings: basalt differentiation, uranium ore genesis, and the remediation of a uranium-contaminated groundwater system. In the latter two cases, 238U/235U is used as a tracer of uranium reduction. 238U preferentially enters the reduced (solid) U phase, thus analysis of U ores can …

In-situ measurements and calculation of radon gas concentration and exhalation from a tailings mine dump
… milled and processed to extract gold. Uranium is one of the minerals which is mined as a by-product of gold. The uranium bearing tailings are then placed on large dumps which are usually one or more kilometres in diameter in the environment. There are approximately 250 gold mine …
