Extension Hill tailings in concrete
Francis Atta Kuranchie and colleagues
Laboratory concrete used tailings as both fine and coarse aggregates, with conventional concrete as the control.

Why this exists
A closer look at what has been tested.
Waste2Resource brings together studies on tailings reuse and recovery. The summaries keep findings alongside the authors’ test conditions, assumptions and limitations, so you can read the result in context.
Waste2Resource began with a simple question: could tailings become a useful resource? Read the story →

Stillwater tailings carbonation
Caleb M. Woodall and colleagues
Stillwater tailings were characterised and tested for carbon mineralisation under ambient temperature and pressure with enriched carbon dioxide.

Waste2Resource is being developed as a place to compare evidence, test assumptions and connect people working on mine-waste reuse. If you are investigating a similar problem, I’d be interested to compare notes.
