Get PriceThe analyses are based on the extraction of copper ore from a porphyry deposit by an open pit mine operator. The data were analyzed by using numerous criteria that affect the generation of mine waste and mill tailings. Several parameters with respect to the hypothetical open pit mining operation that affect mine and mill
Get PriceRemember that only 0.67% of the ore is copper. The copper ore slurry from the grinding mills is mixed with milk of lime (simply water and ground-up limestone) to give a basic pH, pine oil (yes, it comes from trees The waste material that comes out of the bottom of the tanks at the tail end of this process is called " tailings.
