Diavik waste rock project : thermal transport in a covered waste rock test pile ...
Covers are widely used in the management of mine tailings and waste rock and most current cover designs and constructions are in temperate regions. However in cold regions, certain features and processes are unique and they can be utilized to reduce the production of acid rock drainage (ARD). An fie...
