As copper tailings appear in ground form, the grading of copper tailings reported by Gupta and Thomas (2013) and Nitish et al. (2013) has a sizeable silt fraction of 0.06–0.002 mm. Copper tailings are considered to be finer than CS, which usually has a dominant sand fraction. Table 6.5 compares the geotechnical properties of copper tailings to those of CS, which have been reported in this ...

Finally, the production of geopolymer concrete by using copper mine tailings (MT) and low-calcium slag (SG) as both the cementitious binder and aggregates was studied. 50% MT and 50% SG, both passing sieve No. 200, were used together as the binder material, and MT and SG, with a particle size larger than sieve No. 200 and at designed ...

2018-12-10 Fabricated mine tailings. The results for the fabricated mine tailings from the copper mineralisations Ulveryggen and Nussir show concentration variations between the two mineralisations (Fig. 9, Fig. 10 - Supplementary material for all elements). These changes in chemistry reflect the differences in bedrock geology and ore minerals within the ...

Abstract This paper studies the feasibility of utilizing copper mine tailings for production of eco-friendly bricks based on the geopolymerization technology. The procedure for producing the bricks simply includes mixing the tailings with an alkaline solution, forming the brick by compressing the mixture within a mold under a specified pressure, and curing the brick at a slightly elevated ...

3.3.3.8.1 Copper Tailings. Copper mine tailings have also been tested in the manufacture of tiles and glass-ceramic products. Marghussian and Maghsoodipoor (1999) investigated the production of unglazed tiles by mixing copper tailings with other raw materials. They observed that tiles containing about 40% copper tailings fired at 1025°C for 60 ...
