Abstract
Cement has long been used as the main cementing material of the artesian paste filling material in the goaf of a mine, giving a generally high strength. However, the cement ‘two grinding and one burning’ process consumes a lot of energy, which aggravates the greenhouse effect. Therefore, a new type of cementitious material with lower energy consumption and lower emissions is needed. Solid wastes are useless by-products after mining and beneficiation, which are often dry piled in the open air, wasting land resources and polluting the environment. This project studied an alkali-activated mineral powder cementitious material, delineated its internal structure and morphology, and tested its mechanical properties. In a gelling system with 70% mineral powder, 30% Portland cement, 1% sodium silicate and a water-cement ratio of 0.4, the hydration reaction commenced the earliest and the early strength of the test block was the highest. In addition, further increasement in proportion of mineral powder or sodium silicate could not have a positive effect on the early strength of the system.
