RESEARCH PAPER

A detailed review study on utilization of mine and industrial wastes for backfill strengthening.
Ankit Kumar Yadav, Swapnil Mishra & Devi Prasad Mishra
Arab J Geosci 17, 121 (2024);

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12517-024-11917-4

Abstract
The mining operation is a challenging field for human development. Deep underground mining has increased as a result of the lack of economic minerals close to the surface of the ground. Mining companies are now thinking of backfilling mine wastes to prevent mine collapse during later and deeper extraction stages due to safety and environmental concerns. The production of waste products (for example, fly ash, slag, and tailings) during the processing of minerals, the production of electricity, and the production of metals is tremendous. There is a wealth of information available on employing fly ash, slag, and mine tailings as a partial substitute for cement, as well as for paste backfilling. Nevertheless, a thorough analysis of the use of industrial waste and mining tailings as mine backfill is mostly absent. This article offers a grave evaluation of the use of mine and industrial. Geotechnical characteristics, backfill material features, and issues relating to strength prediction are all examined. In addition to the aforementioned, the effects of substitute binders, such as industrial waste, are considered when modifying paste backfills utilizing admixture. The paper finished with future paths for mine paste backfilling study, specifically utilizing ordinary and non-natural essences for primary strength growth. Hence, continued use of such engineering waste supplies for mill paste backfilling might benefit from this research.
KEYWORDS: Mine, Backfilling, Tailings, Industrial waste.
