Lead (Slurry pipeline)
A slurry pipeline is a specially engineered pipeline used to move ores, such as coal or iron, or mining waste, called tailings, over long distances. A mixture of the ore concentrate and water, called slurry, is pumped to its destination and the water is filtered out. Due to the abrasive properties of slurry, the pipelines can be lined with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Slurry pipelines are used as an alternative to railroad transportation when mines are located in remote, inaccessible areas.
