Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of utilization of reserves of technogenic mineral deposits of Donbass with the release of a carbon product with added value. Using a set of methods, including: generalization, analysis, modeling, engineering forecasting etc., the possibility of obtaining metals from the tailings of coal mining and enrichment is substantiated. Results. The variants of metal production technologies in agitators, activators and disintegrator are detailed. The content of metals in man-made deposits and in the concentrate of processing of high-grade enrichment waste is given. The possibility of leaching metals from coal enrichment tailings has been confirmed. It is shown that it is necessary to exclude the storage of tailings from enrichment on the Earth’s surface with an impact on the ecosystems of the surrounding natural environment. The pioneering technologies of deep utilization of coal enrichment tailings are characterized. The features of the combined use of the effect of mechanochemical activation of the process are shown. The solution to the problem provides a radical increment of industrial products from recycled mining waste and reduces the burden on the environment. The results of the study may be in demand in the development of solid minerals.

Keywords
