: Projects explore "circular mining" knowledge, such as storing CO2 in mine tailings to prevent atmospheric emissions while potentially creating stable materials for products like cement.
: Researchers are also developing processes like bioleaching to extract nickel from pyrrhotite waste in tailings ponds, which could help remediate land while recovering billions of dollars in valuable metals. Impact on the Sector Vale teams up with University of Toronto to pow...
