They've always known tellurium was a minor constituent of the massive low-grade porphyry ore deposit there. It just wasn't worth enough to separate it from the silver, gold, lead, molybdenum, platinum and palladium also found in the concentrate, so it was discarded in the final refining steps. Interesting fact: tellurium is one of few elements that will combine with gold to form an ore mineral such as calverite (AuTe2), which looks very much like worthless fool's gold (iron pyrite). Calverite is damn rare, so miners in Western Australia, where it did make up a major % of the gold deposits, failed to recognize it as such, and it was used to fill potholes in roads...until it was identified and a mad scramble to recover the discarded gold mineral ensued.
The "waste" from the Kennecott copper mine( Bingham) in Utah appears to me to be piled anywhere they can find to put it, especially along an area south of a main highway that runs east and west from SLC to Grantsville.
It's not "tell-er-ree-um", It's pronounced "teh·LOO·ree·uhm" Learn how to pronounce the metals in the Periodic Table. And it's NOT a "mineral", it's an "Element".
Interesting , Thank you. I hope that every thing can work , scale and be recycled SAFELY and Efficiently. Remember we the U.S. Are projected to need 2X as much electric power with in 10? years
It cool to watch them in the mine they have a lookout spot I know some friends who work at kennecott it’s self and a long time ago my uncle worked with wheeler machinery they would fix the equipment not sure if they still do I live 10-15 minutes from the mine and every 3-4 years Rio tinto shuts down for maintenance and cleaning of the plant every part of it for about a week or more
problem with solar panels is they aren't very efficient to begin with. The best panels for residence is 20% efficient. Not to mention about the time they finally pay for their self they burn out.
I read an article it is the Govt. that regulates them to 20% max. An engineer states they can hit 80% with out harm, maybe we should do something about that, as in take these cuffs off.
@@tomp8871thank you both 😊 yes I completely agree the gov. Needs to stop! !!! So much is available to us and yet , we only have access to so little information 😮😮😮. You have to dig to find anything out.
Y'all are wild. No it's not because of the government. Yes current solar panels are about 20-30% efficient although I'm not sure why you think the efficiency matters instead of the total cost per kWh at the plug in your home. Also who told you that they burn up by the time they pay off?? On average solar reduces your monthly expenses within 1-3 years, then you have savings which grow every year (grid gets more expensive) until the solar panels are paid off, and then you get a few decades of huge savings. Solar panels still produce 60-80% power after 40-60 years.
@@girlatendofrwjishot First. solar panels only last 25-30 years not 40 to 60 years. Second they become less effective over time. So only starting with 20% isn't very good. It takes 7 to 10 years for a solar panel to pay for it's self. While that is down from a couple years ago it is not very good since you have to pay for them up front. There is also a lot of cost involved that isn't mentioned like upkeep and getting rid of them when they burn out. Solar panels lose 0.5% efficiency a year. So yes while it matters whet you get at the plug you are getting less each year. That's why the 20% matters.
@carolynntranmer9187 their headquarters are in London, but idk if that means they aren't Chinese ha. They own mines all over the world. My husband has worked at the mine in the vid for about 7 years. I've literally never heard it called Bingham canyon or whatever he said. It's always been kennecott copper mine or just rio tinto in recent years.
@@raevarian9967My dad was born in Bingham Canyon. The small towns of Bingham Canyon are thin air now. Because as the mine expanded it consumed all the small communities and now they’re gone. Copperton still exists at the mouth of Bingham Canyon. Bingham Canyon is the mine, Kennecott. It seems mostly “old timers” use the name Bingham Canyon. This is how Bingham High School got its name. It was originally in Copperton and then moved to South Jordan. The original high school became Copperton Middle School and now that has been torn down.

I wonder and never get answer to a simple question: what will happen to billions of solar panels in 20 years?

There is new, better technology based on crystals reacting to light, not only sun rays, more flexible, but...some people have to make money.
Although Tellurium is common in Outerspace, the cost to go there, mine it, and bring it back to Earth significantly outweigh its current value. I'm just guessing here, but I think it would have to exceed $100,000 per an oz to become profitable by recovering it from space. That said. it may not be a bad idea to stack a couple pounds of it.
Lot more common in the ocean. A British National Oceanographic expedition discovered an underwater rare earth deposit in the Atlantic, 500km from the Canary Islands, which is “astonishingly rich” in the substance called Tellurium. The BBC reports that the underwater tellurium deposit is found in concentrations 50,000 times higher than in deposits on land. The metal is used for the construction of wind turbines, solar panels, and electronic appliances.
If Rio Tinto isn't already addressing it, I really think they should get onto the thorium molten-salt nuclear reactor bandwagon. China & India are currently leading the way in this field even though the U.S. figured it out in the 60's. Yes, we have the technology to make far safer nuclear reactors than the current ones and keep up with our demand for cheep, clean power. Even better still, the increased need for thorium for those reactors will offset the high cost of refining other precious minerals & rare earths which could free the U.S. from our dependency on China, the Congo & Chile for most of our lithium, neodymium, coltan, cobalt & many other things used in semiconductors & other high-tech industries. I hope our incoming president is aware of this. Last time he was in charge he seemed very much like he won't play silly political games like making sure every state produces part of the space shuttle to keep the shuttle program going & other glad-handing BS our politicians have been doing for decades.

From Deseret News....Utah's Kennecott copper mine produces one of Earth's rarest metals - tellurium. Vital to low-carbon technologies, this mining project can help us reduce our carbon emissions.

While the gigawatt count is great, it is meaningless without the current total world needed gigawatt hours the planet uses. Which I'm pickin will make the total supplied by solar rather pitiful. That the Aussy costs going from $20 to $40 per gigawatt hours low draw to peak draw. up to $200 a gigawatt hour. By the time the connecting wires and the storage systems are build. And after all of that. It won't be consistent. Or rather it will be consistently off, for long periods of time. Because the cost of storage to cover the longest windless or cloudy days. Is astronomically huge. We cannot afford it. If we are lucky, we get a weeks storage. But I doubt that will happen. No manufacturer can afford to many week outages.

Very misleading title. So much research and details but they left out that mine was opened by Kennecott in 1903. Everyone in the area knows the mine as Kennecott. They also opened the first copper mine in Alaska in 1901. The town and a glacier are named Kennecott after the mine. Rio Tinto is just a company who purchased many mines around the world. The mine is still operated under the Kennecott name. Is the purpose to mislead everyone with a “New Discovery”? Enyone who has driven by the mine would have recognized it in the video. This is not a “New Discovery”. This element has been known since the 1700’s and was known to exist in this mine from the start. The cost to separate this element was greater than the demand so why would they spend money to extract and store an element that isn’t wanted? How about “New use for an element that has been waist for 100 years” as the title?
Good news for the US, thanks.
