Filling mining method can dispose of the tailings into filling slurry, which can be transported to the stope through pipelines to manage the ground pressure and protect the environment. To improve the flowability of filling slurry, additives are used more and more widely. However, some additives can increase the air content in the slurry. The air in the slurry will become pores in the hardened cemented paste backfill (CPB). Therefore, it is necessary to explore the influence of initial air content in fresh slurry on the compressive strength of CPB. In this paper, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used to regulate the air content in the fresh slurry. After measuring the initial air content, the slurry was made into test blocks. Then, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of CPB at 28 d age was tested, and the distribution of CPB microscopic pores was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that as the initial air content in fresh slurry increases, the UCS of CPB first increases and then decreases. Before the initial air content in fresh slurry is 6.03%, the CPB pores distribution is relatively uniform. However, after exceeding this value, “discontinuous contact” structures, pore groups, and macropores occur in CPB. Through the CPB microscopic force analysis, the mathematical model describing the effect of initial air content on UCS of CPB should be a combination of logarithmic function and quadratic polynomial. This work can provide a supplement to the theory of CPB strength.

Blast furnace slag was used as the main raw material to prepare the alkali activated slag (AAS), a low-carbon binder, for cemented paste backfill (CPB). The optimum parameters for preparing the AAS binders using an orthogonal experiment were obtained. Under the optimum conditions (NaOH content was 3 wt. %, Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) content was 7 wt. %, and gypsum dosage was 4 wt. %), the 28 days compressive strength of the binder was 29.55 MPa. The flow ability of the fresh CPB slurry decreased with solid content due to the increased yield stress, while the flow ability increased when rising the binder dosage. A predictive model for the compressive strength of CPB samples was reached through multivariate analysis and the R2 values were higher than 0.9. Sensitivity analysis showed that the solid content is the most important parameter which influences on the development of the CPB strength with a correlation coefficient of 0.826. From the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) tests, the leaching concentrations of Pb and Cd were below the threshold. As a result, the AAS has potential application as an alternative binder and cemented paste backfill.

To investigate the effect of temperature-chemical coupling on the mechanical properties of cemented paste backfill, three temperatures (20°C, 35°C, and 50°C) and sodium sulfate solution mass concentrations (3%, 5%, and 7%) are applied to simulate the complex environment in a mine. Uniaxial compressive strength and the CPB stress-strain relationship are investigated by applying stress, and the deterioration mechanism was analyzed theoretically according to physical and chemical reactions. At the same time, a structural model of the CPB deterioration mechanism under TC coupling is constructed. Combined with analysis through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, it is shown that ettringite and gypsum are the main erosive substances that destroy the structure of CPB and that increased temperatures accelerate the chemical reaction. The concentration change consumes calcium hydroxide, changing the relationship between ettringite and gypsum. Sodium sulphate crystallization is the main form of physical deterioration. The continuous load accelerates the inelastic deformation time of CPB, resulting in a large yield deformation process.
