Can i neutralize tailings by containing it in a stone mortared building above ground? If so, how high should it be?

External link →Also from the wiki: "And it counts from the top block to the tailing itself. If you placed a single block 1000 meters in the air above a tailings block, it would effectively be buried at a depth of 1000 meters."
Sounds to me like the height of the ceiling is the only important factor. Also, I know from experience that you have to bury tailings 40 blocks deep to stop all pollution, so that would probably apply to a containment building too. I figure you got to build tall, but you can get away with building thin. Gunna make for a pretty funny looking structure.
Just note that this is likely to change in future, given it's not really intended to work like that.
