Abstract

For rational disposal of solid wastes, low-cost cemented paste backfills (CPB) were prepared with iron tailings, ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), and calcium carbide slag (CS). To ensure that CPB can be effectively utilized in mine backfill projects, the effects of solid contents, GGBS content, CS/GGBS ratio, and mixing water on the workability and mechanical properties of CPB were investigated. The results indicated that when the solid content was 70%, the GGBS content was 14%, the CS/GGBS ratio was 0.4, the mixing water was tap water, the fluidity of fresh CPB slurry was 167 mm, and 28d unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of CPB reached 2.89 MPa, at which time the effect of the activation of the GGBS with CS was optimal. The analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopic imaging (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated that the hydration products are mainly C-S-H gels, C-A-S-H, hemicarbonate, and hydrotalcite in CS-GGBS cementitious material. The C-S-H gel content gradually increased with increasing curing time and CS content (15%–35%). When the CS content was increased to 25%, the C-S-H gel content significantly increased, which improved the overall structural compactness and increased the UCS of CPB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
