About geological-industrial types of technogenic deposits

The study of technogenic deposits is determined by the need for their processing as an additional source of mineral raw materials. For these purposes, it is necessary to generalize the experience of researching similar objects and to identify the main geological-industrial types for priority work. The object of the study is technogenic deposits of black, nonferrous and noble metals of the Urals region. Possible geological and industrial types of technogenic deposits are identified. The basis for this was the research data carried out in recent years. The main geological-industrial types of technogenic deposits are examined by the example of the Urals and other regions of Russia. The main ones for ferrous metals are tailing dumps and slag dumps, for non-ferrous metals, a significant part of which are complex (Cu, Zn, Au, Ag) - rock dumps, sludge dumps and slag dumps. For precious metals, were chosen as geological and industrial types dumps of enclosing rocks, technogenic placers and tailings.
