NEW TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE TAILINGS DISPOSAL IN DAMS UNDERGOES LICENSING IN MINAS

A new technique for utilizing mining waste has undergone licensing and will be used in Minas Gerais to reduce the disposal of tailings in the Miraí dam, in the Zona da Mata region. The project called "Mobile Beneficiation Plant and Technosoil" consists of a mobile unit that allows ore beneficiation at the mine itself. The concentration of aluminum ore will be associated with a technology developed to produce the so-called technosoil, which will later be used in the environmental rehabilitation of mined areas.
