Tailings Desiccation

Tailings Desiccation is a geotechnical process in mine waste management whereby unsaturated conditions are induced in stored tailings through controlled drainage and evaporation, distinguishing it from other closure methods by its reliance on moisture reduction to enhance physical stability and limit long-term environmental risk.
