Research on modern technologies for processing waste from processing plants

Abstract

This article examines the challenges and solutions associated with processing technogenic waste generated at mining and beneficiation plants using modern technologies. The study analyzes the significant amount of valuable metals - particularly tungsten - remaining in ore-processing tailings. International experience from the USA, Canada, Portugal, Australia, and other countries is reviewed, focusing on the advantages and limitations of gravity, magnetic, flotation, and combined beneficiation methods. The efficiency of existing technologies is assessed through the example of extracting tungsten from the tailings of the Ingichka processing plant. Based on research findings, scientific and practical recommendations are proposed to improve the technological processes for reprocessing technogenic waste.
