Lead-Zinc Mining--Evaluation of Plantings

Photograph of the area around the Eagle-Pichers Mine, Picher, Oklahoma. Slimes Pond Evaluation of plantings in Commerce, Oklahoma. . View facing north showing southeast portion of planting area (Field no. 6). Those are tree plantings without mulch. Borders of the area are mulched and the north border mulch strip was overseeded on 03-16-1967 to a grass mixture. Tree species are cedar, buttonbush, sycamore, cottonwood, black locust, sand bar willow, tamarix, and Russian Olive. Snow fences were installed to prevent sand drifting into the study area.

Photograph of a view of the IMCO mulch tiller manufactured by the Independent Manufacturing Company, Neodesha, Kansas, as used on the Eagle-Picher Slimes Pond hay mulching operation. Note the iron which weighs some 60 to 70 pounds, each. These served to put pressure on treader adequate to press hay into sand. Three tons of hay mulch per year were applied and anchored following the planting of a native grass seed mixture prepared by the Soil Conservation Service Plant Materials Center, Manhattan, Kansas.

Lead-Zinc Mining--Wind Erosion

Photograph of the area around the Eagle-Pichers Mine, Picher, Oklahoma. Vegetation on an old dike around Slimes Pond being affected by wind erosion, an effect of the fine silica (sand). The dike constructed to hold water and fines [ore and other products with a small particle size] from the flotation process. The pond will eventually fill with fines and is then abandoned. The area devoid of any vegetation is subjected to severe wind erosion. This picture depicts fines covering willows and cottonwood trees upon a dike. The spur railroad must receive periodic fine removal from the road bed. OK-2769-16.

Lead-Zinc Mining

Photograph of Slimes Pond, Eagle-Pichers Mine, Picher, Oklahoma. A follow up on Photo No. OK-3013-7. A test to determine whether rye can be grown for cover crop and whether grass can be established in growing rye. View from the southeast corner of Field No. 7 — 3.1 acres. Rye seeded on 9-25-67. Fertilized 250 pounds of 10-20-10 fertilizer at planting time. Top dressed 250 pounds 33-0-0 February 1968.

Radiological impact of uranium tailings and alternatives for their management (open access)

Radiological impact of uranium tailings and alternatives for their management

Uncontrolled tailings piles are mobile sources of fugitive dust that may produce a practically uncleanable adjacent environment. A practical procedure for managing solid tailings is addition of surface moisture, mechanical and gravitational separation of slimes, and storage of slimes below solution tailings. Presently practical alternatives for tailings management are variations of two basic methods - surface below-ground disposal. Isolation of tailings by natural materials such as clay lenses and combinations of overburden, top soil, vegetation and rip-rap may provide both minimization of exposure and stability. Experimental measurement of radon flux over two inactive tailings, acid and carbonate leached tailings resulted in average specific flux values of phi infinity approx. = 0.64 and phi infinity approx. = 0.30 (pCi Rn-222/m/sup 2/ sec) / (pCi Ra-226/g), respectively. The average diffusion coefficient for these tailings were, respectively, 2.4 x 10/sup -3/ and 5.7 x 10/sup -4/ cm/sup 2//sec. Tailings covered with native soil of clay-silt-sand mixture to a depth of 225 cm resulted in attenuation of flux with diffusion coefficients of 3.69 x 10/sup -3/ and 3.60 x 10/sup -3/ cm/sup 2//sec for ACID and ALKO sites, respectively. By means of the UDAD code dose commitments were estimated for inhalation of particulates and …

These rows were side-dressed with 50 pounds of 33-0-0 in 6-67 on all of two rows and two rows half way. On 3-25-68 a native grass mixture (Vinita harvest) was interseeded, hand broadcast and hand-raked to cover.

Optimization of Comminution Circuit Throughput and Product Size Distribution by Simulation and Control (open access)

Optimization of Comminution Circuit Throughput and Product Size Distribution by Simulation and Control

The goal of this project is to improve energy efficiency of industrial crushing and grinding operations (comminution). Mathematical models of the comminution process are being used to study methods for optimizing the product size distribution, so that the amount of excessively fine material produced can be minimized. The goal is to save energy by reducing the amount of material that is ground below the target size, while simultaneously reducing the quantity of materials wasted as ''slimes'' that are too fine to be useful. This will be accomplished by: (1) modeling alternative circuit arrangements to determine methods for minimizing overgrinding and maximizing energy efficiency, and (2) determining whether new technologies, such as high-pressure roll crushing, can be used to alter particle breakage behavior to minimize fines production.

NON-PRODUCTION FUELS REPROCESSING, CENTRIFUGATION STUDIES ON VARIOUS DISSOLVER EFFLUENT SOLUTIONS

>The proposed flowsheets for reprocessing of nonproduction fuels include centrifugal separation of particulate matter from various dissolver effluent solutions. The settling characteristics of process solids were determined in water and in cold process solutions. Uranium dioxide particles will be recovered from Zirflex and Sulfex cladding waste solutions, and core-dissolver solutions will be centrifuged for removal of ZrO/sub 2/, metallic slimes, siliceous matter, and uranium-bearing solids.
