Exploration of ceramic solidification technology for tin tailings
Yunnan Tin Company has about 350 million tons of sandy tin tailings.Due to different origins of the original deposits,the properties of the tin tailings vary greatly,and the associated components are complex.The comprehensive utilization of tin tailings has always been a difficult hurdle to overcome.The experiment using ceramic solidification technology to solidify tin tailings showed that the cured tailings slurry met the requirements of dam construction materials and dry storage technology in terms of physical,mechanical,geotechnical properties and long-term performance through the study of different types of curing agent ratios and amounts,as well as unconfined compressive strength testing after curing.This provides another direction for the comprehensive utilization of tin tailings.
