Backfill Plants by Resources Gold Technology
Backfill plants are used to return tailings from gold processing plants to refill underground mined volumes for environmentally safe disposal, eliminating unsightly surface dump sites. Backfill plants are designed to operate with thickened slurry product from dewatering plants to form a paste suitable for mine backfill.
Main components of a Resources Backfill Plant include:
-
PUG Mill.
-
Medium Feeder.
-
Weightometer.
-
Flow Meter and Control Valve.
-
Specialized Backfill Pumps.
-
Thickened Slurry Holding Tank.
-
Slurry Pumps.
Backfill plants utilize a medium such as cement or sand to form a product suitable for mine fill. Typically mining backfill is a final treatment stage and takes place immediately after dewatering. A comprehensive mine tailings disposal installation for gold processing would include a dewatering plant followed by cyanide destruction and finally a backfill plant. |
