The mechanism of hydrating and solidifying green mine fill materials using circulating fluidized bed fly ash-slag-based agent.

This study focused on classifying and disposing Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) fly ashes from the level of its origin, and proposed an optimal formulation system for clinker-free cemented backfill materials. CFB fly ash-blast furnace slag (BFS)-based cemented backfill materials with unequal strength grades are used in different locations of the goaf that require more than 1 Mpa and 4 Mpa, respectively, and the leaching levels of all toxic components are lower than the underground III water quality standard limit when the additional amount of CFB fly ash does not exceed 60 wt.%. The stable S/S of Cl- is due to the combined effect of chemical fixation of HCC and physical adsorption of the C-S-H/C-A-S-H phase. B2(20 wt.% CFB fly ash) exhibits more functional hydration products and higher degree of polymerization with the hydration age extension. Ettringite is the major effective product of CFB fly ash-BFS-based cemented system due to low level of chlorine environment and HCC transformation. CFB fly ash with appropriate active Al2O3 can dissolve and promote [AlO4]5- to substitute [SiO4]4- to form the C-A-S-H phase with longer chains and higher degree of polymerization with increase in Al/Si ratio of C-A-S-H/C-S-H phase.
