The invention relates to a method for building a
tailings dam, in particular to a method for building a
tailings dam through adoption of mine dumping. The method comprises the following steps that: a mine dumping
yard and a
tailings dam of a concentrating mill are combined; the mine dumping is adopted for directly building the
tailings dam; a layered damming method or a strip damming method is implemented; after the
tailings dam is formed, the inner side of the
tailings dam is a tailings warehouse; and the outer side is a dumping
yard. As mine dumping technology and damming technology of the tailings dam of the concentrating mill are combined, the method can greatly reduce the area occupation of the dumping
yard, enlarge the utilization coefficient of the tailings warehouse and overcome the disadvantages of the prior damming construction method of the tailings warehouse and the difficult problems of sand lifting of tailings sand and the like; and meanwhile, after a mine stops production, under the condition that the mine dumping cannot be used for building the tailings dam, the concentrating mill can also utilize waste stone of the dumping yard to continue building the tailings dam. The process is suitable for the tailings warehouses of a valley type, mountain-surrounding type, flat type,
cut-off river type and other types, is also suitable for building the tailings dam of the concentrating mill of other industries, is also suitable for newly building the tailings dam of the concentrating mill and is also suitable for building the tailings dam of the concentrating mill in course of production.
