Mine tailings are the waste materials left over after the extraction of desired minerals from an ore. These tailings typically consist of ground-up rock, chemicals, and processing water, and can pose environmental risks if not managed properly. Research in the area of mine tailings focuses on finding ways to reduce the environmental impact of these waste materials, such as through the use of sustainable disposal methods, remediation techniques, and the development of alternative uses for tailings. This research aims to minimize the potential for water and soil contamination, biodiversity loss, and other negative effects associated with mine tailings.
