Abstract
AbstractThe hydraulic deposition process linked to tailings dams normally presents some technical deficiencies mainly because of the lack of control of hydraulic parameters. Problems of instability in tailings dams usually arise from poor management practices, such as poor decant pond control, in addition to the material being placed randomly. Hydraulic parameters, such as the flow rate and concentration of the slurry, play an important role in the formation of hydraulic fills. Grain size, distribution, segregation, and density, and slope inclination are the main characteristics of tailings dams, which are affected by the hydraulic parameters of the slurry. To investigate these factors, an experimental apparatus [hydraulic deposition simulation test (HDST)] was used to simulate the hydraulic deposition process in the laboratory, where all variables that could affect the phenomenon could be controlled carefully. The HDSTs using different flow rates and concentrations were carried out using the iron waste f...
