Application of Cement Paste in Mining Works, Environmental Protection, and the Sustainable Development Goals in the Mining Industry

Cement paste is an already well-known material used in ore mining. It mainly to fill excavation areas and the tailings from surface return underground mines. In this way, amount of deposited degradation terrain are reduced. The itself can be as artificial barrier between mining works watercourses. Significant economic environmental benefits expected using cement paste, which would contribute sustainable development. basic materials that make up cemented backfill (CPB) flotation tailings, cement, water. For CPB adequately safely applied filling spaces indirectly protection groundwater, environment, development industry, it must meet certain physical–mechanical, physicochemical, deformation properties. This paper presents results synthesized analyzed samples different compositions based on (from production ZiJin Copper Bor, Serbia), methods for chemical mineralogical tests include inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), absorption (AAS), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs; turbidimetry). prepared with consisting 5% 24% water, 71% were most acceptable.
