摘要

本研究的重点是铜尾矿作为可持续土地复垦材料的最终利用,同时解决其造成的不利环境影响和土地资源的稀缺性。与使用铜尾矿部分替代混凝土中的天然细集料的有限方法不同,土地复垦需要大量的地质材料。研究的主要目的是确定天然细骨料与铜尾矿的最佳替代比例,评估其力学和微观结构强度的发展情况,并评估重金属的浸出能力。研究还探讨了通过掺入玄武岩纤维提高抗拉强度的方法。利用Excel求解器,确定了4种不同来源尾矿的最佳置换比。对水泥稳定后的德兴铜尾砂进行了压缩、拉伸和弯曲力学性能测试,并利用x射线衍射和扫描电镜对其微观结构进行了分析。结果表明,德兴、Kakosa和Mindola尾矿的最佳替代率约为9%,Muntimpa尾矿的最佳替代率为15%。掺15%水泥的德兴尾矿28天抗压强度超过堆存工程要求的1.2 MPa。微观结构分析证实了强度贡献化合物的形成,包括氢氧化钙、钙矾石和水合硅酸钙。此外,掺入0.5%的9毫米玄武岩纤维显著提高抗拉强度。毒性特征浸出性测试证实,饮用水和海水中的重金属浓度仍在安全限度之内(第三类)。因此,本研究得出结论,在土地复垦中使用100%铜尾矿比在混凝土应用中有限使用铜尾矿提供了更可持续的解决方案。

Strength performance and leachability of cement-stabilised copper tailings as land reclamation geomaterial for sustainable copper tailings disposal
This study focuses on the ultimate utilisation of copper tailings as a sustainable land reclamation geomaterial, simultaneously addressing the adverse environmental impacts that they cause and the scarcity of land resources. Unlike the limited approach of using copper tailings as partial replacements for natural fine aggregates in concrete, land reclamation demands far larger volumes of geomaterial. The primary objectives were to determine the optimal replacement ratio of natural fine aggregate with copper tailings, assess the development of mechanical and microstructural strength, and evaluate the leachability of heavy metals. The study also explored the enhancement of tensile strength through the incorporation of basalt fibre. Using Excel Solver, the optimal replacement ratios were determined for tailings from four different sources. Mechanical performance of cement-stabilised Dexing copper tailings was tested in compression, tension, and flexure, while microstructural properties were analysed using X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Results showed optimal replacement rates of about 9 % for Dexing, Kakosa, and Mindola tailings, and 15 % for Muntimpa tailings. The 28-day compressive strength of Dexing tailings treated with 15 % cement exceeded the required 1.2 MPa for stockpile engineering applications. Microstructural analysis confirmed the formation of strength-contributing compounds, including calcium hydroxide, ettringite, and calcium silicate hydrate. Additionally, incorporating 0.5 % of 9 mm basalt fibres notably improved tensile strength. Toxicity characteristic leachability tests confirmed that heavy metal concentrations remained within safe limits for both drinking water and seawater (Category III). Therefore, this study concludes that using 100 % copper tailings in land reclamation offers a more sustainable solution than their limited use in concrete applications.
