1. Introduction. Due to the ever-growing demand for copper minerals, a significant amount of copper tailings have been produced as byproducts during the extraction of valuable copper minerals (Furnell et al., 2022; Rebello et al., 2021).According to the latest Global Tailings Review, approximately 14 billion tonnes of mineral tailings …

copper production, particularly in Chile, increased significantly. The failure resulted in almost immediate industry-initiated changes to tailings facility construction in Chile. These included: • using dozers to flatten the downstream slope to about half (from an angle of repose of wet sand of about 2.5 horizontal to 1 vertical to about 4 to 1),

The total copper recovered from its ore through flotation process is about 56% [6, 18], which indicates that the flotation tailings still contain valuable copper components such as chalcopyrite. In addition, old flotation tailings sometimes have a higher copper grade (0.2–0.4%) than that of low‒grade ores (0.2‒0.3%).
