Effective Sealing Solution for Metallic Mining Waste Tanks for the Contol of Potentially Toxic Elements

Project title: EFFECTIVE SEALING SOLUTION FOR METALLIC MINING WASTE TANKS FOR THE CONTROL OF POTENTIALLY TOXIC ELEMENTS

The general technical objective of this proposal is the experimental application, on a field scale, of the sealing procedure for mining waste deposits consisting of the installation of a multilayer physical barrier based on a proprietary technology of the UPTC, verified in a small-scale pilot test, testing two different types of materials:

  • Construction and demolition waste (CDW).
  • Limestone waste from the clearing and excavation of the mining activities themselves.
