Sulfide Tailings as Potential Secondary Sources of Critical Minerals: Tellurium
Abstract
Sulfide Tailings from Past and Present Mining Activities Are Important Hosts of Critical Elements and Precious Metals. This Review Paper Presented a Literature Survey on the Recovery Practices of Some Critical Minerals Containing Te from Sulfide Tailings with a Special Focus on the Physical Beneficiation and Hydrometallurgical Separation Methods. Finally, a Conceptual Framework and Possible Processing Flowsheets Were Proposed. the Findings of This Review Will Be Useful for the Researchers in the Field of Geochemistry, Mineral Processing, and Metallurgy to Evaluate the Separation Processes for Reprocessing of Mine Tailings for the Recovery of Critical Minerals.
