Tailings Ponds Conserve Resource 5 4 4 3 THIS STORY HOLDS WATER Much has been written about water in the arid southwest.

Whatever has been written about it, this much is certain -copper production depends on water. At Kennecott, water carries the ore through the fine grinding section, through flotation cells and to filter buildings, where the concentrate is dewatered. And water carries the mill tailings to the disposal area. Meantime, several important things occur during the last stage of the process. 1 The tailings first must pass through thickeners, where solids drop to the bottom and clear water is drained off.

2 Next, just enough water remains to pump the tailings in the form of a slurry to ponds and, even then, part of that liquid also is recovered. Here's how: 3 Rather than let the tailings flow into a large area (where evaporation is greatest) compact ponds are constructed. 4 These are topped by a pipe system which permits the tailings slurry to be discharged at the perimeter. As the slurry flows toward the center of the pond, the tailings particles settle out. 5 The clear water is then recovered and pumped back to start its trip all over again.

These series of ponds, plus the thickeners and other water saving devices," permit a recovery of more than half of the water from the tailings process. In i fact, all Kennecott departments practice conservation to the extent that approximately 90 per cent of water used is recovered. It's this re-using of water of life at Kennecott. It production depends on Kennecott invites depicted in the New Mexico State over and over again that assures adequate supplies for water. you to see its water sketch above) in the Industrial Fair in Albuquerque from makes conservation a way the future because copper conservation exhibit (as Building at the September 15 to 25.
