PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF INVOLVING ORE PROCESSING WASTE FROM THE TYRNYAUZ DEPOSIT INTO INDUSTRIAL OPERATION

The problem of involving stale ore processing waste from the Tyrnyauz deposit into industrial operation is considered. The world experience of involving technogenic mineral formations in industrial exploitation is summarized, and the main directions of industrial use of technogenic raw materials are determined. The possible ecological impact of tailings dumps located in high-altitude areas on the ecology of the mining region is considered. The data on the formation, operation and composition of the tailings dumps of the Tyrnyauz Tung-sten-Molybdenum Combine (TVMK) are summarized. The problems are formulated and the prospects for the liquidation of tailings dumps by involving man-made raw materials in indus-trial operation are justified.
