The Effect of Particle Size on Mine Waste Sulfide Oxidation Rates and Conceptual Treatment Costs

Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) oxidation reaction rates were determined using oxygen consumption rates in a high sulfur overburden rock from the Australian Latrobe Valley coal provinces, and a mid to low range sulfur waste rock from a porphyry copper deposit in Papua, New Guinea. Nine grain s...

description Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) oxidation reaction rates were determined using oxygen consumption rates in a high sulfur overburden rock from the Australian Latrobe Valley coal provinces, and a mid to low range sulfur waste rock from a porphyry copper deposit in Papua, New Guinea. Nine grain sizes were tested, ranging from material retained by a 0.038 mm sieve through to a 40 mm sieve. Oxygen consumption rates in sealed cells were measured to establish pyrite oxidation rates (POR) in each sample. The oxygen consumption rates displayed a strong exponential reaction correlation with particle size for the material. The POR was found to range from 0.28 to 10.90 wt%/year FeS 2 for the materials tested. A relationship between particle size and POR was established for comparative purposes. The smaller grind sizes included in this study extend the AMD/POR particle size data set available in the literature and will assist with geochemical engineering for designing tailings storage facilities. The potential economic and mine design ramifications of additional reactivity of fine mine materials is assessed and discussed using a unit cost framework for applying neutralizing materials.
