In the short term period (from 2014 till 2020), there were defined the following research priorities in the development of physical and chemical principles and creation of innovation technologies for deep processing of anthropogenic mineral raw materials:
- substantiation of efficient processes of extraction of valuable components from mining and mineral processing wastes;
- combination of physical and chemical methods of concentration with chemical-metallurgical methods in processing of anthropogenic materials;
- obtaining of additional finished products of non-metallic parts of mining waste and recyclability;
- development of strategy for motivation disposal of mining wastes.
There are shown the main results of research of Institute of Comprehensive Exploration of Subsoils of Russian Academy of Sciences in these areas, including the study of the following possibilities:
- use of centrifugal impact of crushing machines for intensification of the process of disclosure of slag grains;
- introduction of energy methods for intensification of impact of disintegration and break-up of fine mineral complexes in processing of sulfide dump tailings;
- use of new class of flotation reagents for extraction of valuable components from final tailings from copper-nickel sulfide ores;
- use of electrochemical processing of down-waste water for intensification of the process of heap leaching of poor and oxidized copper-zinc ores;
- endurance of complete recovery of valuable components and creation of resource-recyclable technologies for complex processing of mineral raw materials from hydro-mineral copperpyrite deposits;
- electrochemical processing of mineralized waters of concentrating plants of diamond producers into hypochlorite solutions for disinfection of domestic potable and waste water.

This work was carried out with the financial support of the program of Presidium of Russian Academy of Sciences PP-27 (ПП-27).
