Manganese-rich tailings can be used in coatings, glass, ceramics, and ceramic glazes. Bauxite-rich tailings can be used in alum and shotcrete production. Copper-rich tailings can be turned into lightweight ceramics by sintering iron tailings mixed with fly ash and sewage sludge in paint making.
With manganese, the only difference is that we're planning on beneficiating the grade of the manganese through a DMS (Dense Media Separation) circuit to increase the purity of the manganese. DMS is a trusted processing route often used in mining and relies on the density of the manganese to separate it from lighter waste minerals.
South32 aims to accelerate development of the first new US manganese mine for decades as carmakers rush to secure supply of the metal needed in EV batteries.
Fungal bioleaching of manganese involves organic acids secreted by fungal species which help in solubilization of manganese metal from the wastes. These refining technologies of manganese biomining enhance the toxic-free removal of mining by-products into the natural environment.
