Microscopic mechanism of cellulose nanofibers modified cemented gangue backfill materials

Reinforcing the performances of cemented backfill materials to recycle gangue and tailings is crucial for the sustainable development of mineral resources and mining waste management. However, under practical constraints of low cost, high waste ratio, low carbon emission, and low binder consumption, solidifying upcycles of mining wastes with toxicity, porosity, and mollification to cemented backfill materials with superior properties are inherently contradictory and challenging. This study reported a waste-to-wealth pathway that improves cemented gangue backfill materials by cellulose nanofibers to recycle mining wastes and partially replace cement. Mechanical compression, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry,…
