Utilization of Jinchuan Unclassified Tailings in Mine Filling
In order to utilize the unclassified tailings and reduce the cost of backfill in Jinchuan mine, compressive strength experiments were conducted by taking unclassified tailings as aggregating material. The influence of unclassified tailings on compressive strength was studied, and the influence of unclassified tailings on Hydration products and microstructures was analyzed by XRD and SEM also. The results show that the fine particle size and higher mud content of unclassified tailings have adverse effect on early strength, especially on 3d compressive strength, but it can mprove the long-term strength. The hydration products of the new backfill cementitious materials is mainly C-S-H gel, the flocculent C-S-H gel form dense gel-structure and bond the aggregates together form the high mechanical strength. With the new backfill cementitious materials can achieve 30% utilization of unclassified tailings in Mine Filling, and attained the goal of reducing backfill costs and protecting the environment.
