Restraint of foams and Lamas in the Tailings Dam

摘要

The Retention mechanism of foams and Lamas in the Tailings Dam is a system used to maintain a higher Water mirror to measure completely clean, free of Floatable solids and solids in suspension, ensuring a better quality Water Pumping to Concentrator Plant.The system is composed of two types of barriers: the first Barrier involves the installation of 600m, HDPE Pipe of 4 "diameter hermetically sealed at both ends, this Pipe crosses the Reservoir and is secured in anchor points on both sides.The Second barrier is to install a curtain of geotextile submersible which is confirmed by: 200m HDPE Pipe 8 "diameter x 3.5m of geotextile, 200m 200m Of Metal plates, 1 1 / 2" x 1 / 4 ", from angles of 1" X1 / 8 "diameter with clamps, a 8" Pass Boat, 210m of AC cable Erado 3 / 4 "in diameter and two anchors embedded in concrete Cubes.Both barriers work together, retains all the Solids are kept Afloat (Foam) and the other retains Fine Solids that are in the process of sedimentation (Lamas), both barriers do not prevent the passage of water.
