Abstract
Systems and methods for dewatering mine tailings with water-absorbing polymers. The systems and methods may include combining a mine tailings slurry, which includes mine tailings and water, with a water-absorbing polymer. The water-absorbing polymer may absorb water from the mine tailings, thereby increasing a solids content of the mine tailings. The mine tailings may be combined with the water-absorbing polymer prior to, during, and/or subsequent to transfer of the mine tailings to a mine tailings dewatering and/or disposal site. In some embodiments, the water-absorbing polymer may be an encapsulated water-absorbing polymer.
