Abstract
Abstract The information about the state of the use of natural resources in Russia is given and the need to search for new sources of raw materials for industry is justified. There is a tendency to reduce the production capacity and the rate of extraction of metal ores, which does not allow the use of the infrastructure of mining enterprises and creates the problem of processing substandard ore deposits and disposal of accumulated waste. The concept of deep processing of substandard metal-containing raw materials and a strategy for the survival of mining enterprises, including the use of metal leaching technologies, is formulated. The advantages of technologies with the leaching of metals from mineral raw materials at the stages of its processing are characterized. The advantages of leaching in disintegrators are shown by comparison with the indicators of the basic variant. It is noted that mechanochemical activation improves the quality of concretes made on the basis of recycled tailings. Managing the properties of recyclable materials allows you to implement the principles of resource conservation with an economic effect. It is concluded that the recommended technology is the real direction of technological modification of production.
