Performance Study on Preparation of Mine Backfill Materials Using Industrial Solid Waste in Combination with Construction Waste

The resource utilization of construction waste and industrial solid waste is a crucial aspect in promoting global urbanization and sustainable development. This study focuses on the preparation of mine backfill materials using construction waste in combination with various industrial solid wastes-ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), phosphorus slag (PS), fly ash-phosphorus slag-phosphogypsum composite (FA-PS-PG), and fly ash-phosphorus slag-β-phosphogypsum composite (FA-PS-βPG)-under different substitution rates (50%, 55%, 60%) as control parameters. A total of 19 mix proportions were investigated, evaluating their slump, dry density, compressive strength, uniaxial compressive stress-strain relationship, micromorphology, and phase composition. The results indicate that, compared to backfill materials prepared with pure cement, the incorporation of industrial solid wastes improves the fluidity of the backfill materials. At 56 days, the constitutive model parameter a increased to varying degrees, while parameter b decreased, indicating enhanced ductility. The compressive strength was consistently higher with PS at all substitution rates. The FA-PS-PG mixture with a 50% substitution rate achieved the highest 56-day compressive strength of 8.02 MPa. These findings can facilitate the application of construction waste and industrial solid waste in mine backfilling projects, delivering economic, environmental, and resource-related benefits.
