    Abstract

    This study of life cycle assessment and environmental valuation of mine tailings management combines rheology analysis, and computer simulations. Three strategies were assessed: thickened tailings, tailings paste, and filtered tailings. Technology improvement and renewable energy were introduced in order to improve the sustainability performance of the mine tailings methods investigated. Alternative Tailings Disposal methods with filter belt press and stack cell flotation together with renewable energy helped to reduce the environmental impact and costs associated with coal tailings disposal.

      Fleming, P.; Valentine, L.; Bateman, Bill (2013)
      Caudal autotomy is a common defense mechanism in lizards, where the animal may lose part or all of its tail to escape entrapment. Lizards show an immense variety in the degree of investment in a tail (i.e., length) across ...
