Assessment of the Tailing Dumps State of the Gold Processing Enterprise

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of the tailings as a source of technological impact on the environment and to determine the possibilities of using gold processing enterprise waste as a raw material for production.In carrying out this study, we used the following set of basic methods and methodological techniques such as system analysis, the generalization of theoretical and experimental studies, scientific forecasting, cartographic modeling, landscape zoning, the method of logical abstractions, physicochemical methods, and other general scientific methods of analysis and generalization. The systematization of literature data and patent search materials indicate that scientific research aimed at ensuring the environmental safety of mining facilities, including tailings, have only begun to develop in recent years [5–9].In the course of the study, it was found that the protective dam of the tailings of the gold mining factory is unreliable and it is necessary to take measures for the processing and disposal of tailings, to organize a systematic approach to identifying ways and means of preventing violations of the regulatory environment and ensuring environmental safety.For the first time, an approach has been developed to the level of assessment of the hazard level of the tailing dump on the environment and the justification for the feasibility of utilizing the tailings of the enrichment of the Muzhievsky deposit in the Beregovsky district of the Transcarpathian region.The proposed scheme for processing and enrichment of the tailings of a gold processing enterprise using an installed modular processing plant. According to the results of the factory, tailings will be used for the production of building ceramics and restoration of the lost shape of the relief.
