Characterization of Mine Tailings and Environmental Effects Research Group (CMT&EE-RG)

Mining Waste Characterization and Environmental Impacts Research Group

Our research group provides consultancy, analysis/optimization and design services for the characterization and disposal of sulfidic mine wastes/tailings.

The team has an experience on waste/tailings characterision and cemented paste backfill over 20 years. Data obtained from the laboratory- and field studies are evaluated from an environmental perspective, and presented as reports.
