A million tonnes of tailings are formed in the world each year due to increasing mining activities along with the increase in the need for raw materials. The tailings may cause critical environmental problems. Therefore, tailings management is a critical issue in mining operations. With the developing technology, the new tailing disposal technologies such as paste and using geotextile materials have increased considerably in recent years. These methods have many advantages in terms of both environmental and cost reduction. Another critical issue in terms of mining is the accidents and occupational health problems in underground coal mines. The problems can be described as spontaneous combustion, roof collapse, gas extraction from coal beds, etc. These accidents have been significantly reduced with the use of mining chemicals in underground mines. In this study, tailing management and mining chemicals which are very important in terms of mining applications are examined.
