The back-filling method is distinguished from other mining methods by its higher cost. In order to solve this problem and utilize water-granulated nickel slag as much as possible, nickel slag from flash smelting operation was used to prepare cementitious materials for backfilling. Approaches including mechanical activation and chemical activation were adopted to improve the cementitious activity of the slag. By taking the strength of the backfill materials as the evaluation standards, the hydration activity and cementitious performance of the slag were investigated under different activation conditions, and the mechanism of chemical activation was analyzed. The results shows that cementing agent prepared by using mainly the slag (occupying 85% of the total raw materials) can be used to replace cement and meet the production requirements for backfilling materials.
Aimed at improving the waterproofing property of foamed concrete, a heat-insulating and waterproofing composite applied in underground engineering was prepared by using cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing material and foamed concrete. The properties of foamed concrete and composite such as compressive strength, water absorption and thermal conductivity were tested and contrasted, and the compounding reaction mechanism was analyzed. The results show that, compared with foamed concrete, the water absorption of composite has been significantly reduced while the heat-insulating property of foamed concrete is maintained and the overall waterproofing and heat-insulation performance has been significantly improved. A new approach solving underground heat-harm such as high temperature and high humidity is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
