Heap Leach Pads
Liners for Heap leach pads
In mining, the leaching process used to obtain metals and minerals involves the use of chemical products and processes, these types of materials are highly hazardous for the environment. This creates a requirement for secure containment barriers and drainage systems using geosynthetics.
Geomembranes provide solutions in all mining applications that require safe containment. ATARFIL offers a permanent barrier of maximum performance for long-term environmental protection; preventing earth contamination and preserving precious minerals; preventing failure of mineral storage.
Geomembranes are commonly used in various secure containment applications in different types of mining. Examples include heap leaching platforms, conduit and retention channels and wells for liquid solutions before and after treatment, works to seal the storage of rejected materials, final disposal reservoirs for sludge or primary settlement and secondary containers of contaminating elements such as hydrocarbons.
Geomembranes for heap leach pads
For this type of application we recommend ATARFIL HD, installed in most Heap Leach pad applications as it provides three fundamental properties needed in the mining industry. Maximum durability, Long-Term Weather Resistance (UV radiation-Atmospheric aging) and Maximum Low Permeability to Gases.
