Download or read book Tailings Dam Management for the Twenty-First Century written by Franco Oboni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive approach to address the need to improve the design of tailings dams, their management and the regulation of tailings management facilities to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the risk of such facilities failing. The scope of the challenge is well documented in the report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and GRID Arendal entitled “Mine Tailings Storage: Safety Is No Accident,” which was released in October 2017. The report recommends that “Regulators, industry and communities should adopt a shared, zero-failure objective to tailings storage facilities...” and identifies several areas where further improvements are required. In this context, the application of cutting-edge risk-assessment methodologies and risk-management practices can contribute to a significant reduction and eventual elimination of dam failures through Risk Informed Decision Making. As such, the book focuses on identifying and describing the risk-assessment approaches and risk-management practices that need to be implemented in order to develop a way forward to achieve socially acceptable levels of tailings dam risk.

Book excerpt: Mining has evolved in the 21st century into an indispensable industry that provides a variety of mineral products needed to sustain a modern society. To achieve efficiency, it has also grown into an integrated enterprise of enormous size, wielding substantial economic power. Tailings is essentially a fine-particle mine-waste byproduct. Its management has gone through major transformations in the last century. In early years tailings was disposed of out of sight and literally out of mind. However, due to the physical and chemical characteristics of tailings, this laissez-faire approach in dealing with its disposal led to significant environmental degradation such as pollution and blockage of watercourses, etc. With the rising environmental protection movement, the mining operation is under increasing regulatory constraints and governmental monitoring. Modern tailings dams have become major hydraulic structures designed, constructed, monitored until they are properly closed and reclaimed after the completion of mining tenure. These dams are often higher than 100 m, with a storage capacity of over hundreds of million cubic metres, serving a vital industrial function for the public. Unfortunately, when such a dam fails, it unleashes enormous destructive power causing inundation of water and tailings mud over the downstream area resulting in fatalities and lasting environmental degradation. This book presents a condensed monograph on forensic investigations of select case histories of failed tailings dams. The selection tends to emphasize recent cases that have representative characteristics including those affecting the evolution of the current practice of tailings dam engineering. Efforts are made to facilitate readers’ understanding of important factors involved by using plain language. Technical terms are clearly explained before their usage. The objective of the monograph is to provide a neutral reference on tailings dam failures for all stakeholders. The author hopes ongoing dialogues by all stakeholders on the important topics of dam safety will raise the safety standard of tailings dams to a new level compatible with public expectations of the sustainable mining industry.

Download or read book The Technological Disaster Of The Fundão Dam And The (In)Experience In The Economic Valuation Of Environmental Damage In Brazil written by Humberto Angelo and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical events such as the disruption of the Fundu00e3o tailings dam, considered the biggest technological disaster in Brazil and the biggest of its kind in the world, test the responsiveness of organizations responsible for protecting the environment. In the process of liability for damages, lawsuits initially proposed were replaced by agreements negotiated between companies, state agencies and the Public Prosecution Service, which previously stipulated amounts for remedial actions and environmental compensation. The economic valuation of environmental damage, despite being a tool capable of assisting in the quantification of environmental compensation, has not yet been adequately used in the initiatives to hold the Fundu00e3o dam case accountable. Preliminary diagnoses of the disaster have not sufficiently detailed the estimated economic values for environmental and socioeconomic repair, nor have they discriminated against the reparable damages of those irreparable damages that must be compensated. Due to the lack of clear definition of competence for the economic valuation of environmental damages, Brazilian environmental protection institutions have not developed standardized procedures for this purpose, except in an incipient, experimental or private way for certain types of damages. The implementation of accountability agreements based on diagnoses and values not well delimited can compromise their effectiveness and perpetuate, without compensation, the damage to Brazilian environmental heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's best practice in environmental mine-waste management requires a thorough understanding of the wastes produced. The knowledge of mine wastes represents a new interdisciplinary science and this book provides an introductory, descriptive and analytic overview of the wastes produced in the mineral industry. It describes the characterization, prediction, monitoring, disposal and treatment as well as environmental impacts. Intended for undergraduate courses, it systematically builds the reader’s understanding and knowledge of the wastes produced, their physical and chemical characteristics, and how to deal responsibly with them on a short and long-term basis. The text employs 22 case studies spanning the world’s mineral industry that elucidate best practice and specific challenges in mine-waste management and site rehabilitation.

Book excerpt: Tailings are the residue of the milling process for extracting metals for ore. They are mostly commonly dumped in surface impoundments (tailing dams), the embankments of which are usually earthfilled dams. In spite of a number of guidelines to their design and construction there are still major failings each year. This book gathers together 221 case records of incidents in attempt to investigate the causes of failure. The main causes were found to be lack of control of water balance, lack of control of construction, lack of understanding of the feature that control safe operation
