Study on the Strength Development of Cemented Backfill Body from Lead-Zinc Mine Tailings with Sulphide by Juanrong Zheng, Lijie Guo, Xiaoxiao Sun, Wenchen Li, Qi Jia

“…Under the same conditions, the finer the tailings, the lower the UCS of the cemented backfill body at each age, and the UCS of the cemented backfill body began to decrease at the earlier curing age. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that the reduction of the UCS of the cemented backfill body was related to the formation of an expansive substance (expansive gypsum) in the cemented backfill body, which led to the cracking of the test sample. …”
