In most cases, not all available materials for road construction do meet the nominal requirements, as such; stabilization becomes necessary. This study presents the results of a laboratory experiments carried out to assess the effect of mining tailing waste (MTW) as an admixture to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) stabilized Black Cotton Soil (BCS).
1. Introduction. Iron ore tailings (IOTs) was the residual solid waste that remained after the extraction of iron from iron ore [1, 2], which was typically deposited in tailings ponds.Leakage or spillage from the tailings pond can result in the release of harmful substances into the surrounding soil, groundwater, and rivers, causing contamination of …

Keywords: iron ore tailings; concrete; aggregates; compressive strength; indirect tensile strength; slump 1. Introduction Western Australia (WA) is endowed with a large reserve of iron ore. This has attracted a lot of iron ore mining activities for many years in the state. Iron ore resource is a very significant player of the economy
(1) The binder (Portland cement clinker/cement) requirement could be curtailed to 4–6% from the normally required 10% having usual surface area to prepare iron ore pellets of crushing strength of 100–200 kg/pellet by enhancing the surface area of the binder to about 4100 cm 2 /g.
For iron ore and concrete producers, using iron ore tailings as fine aggregate to produce concrete is an effective method of recovering iron ore tailings. Iron tailings can be made into iron tailing sand, which is mixed with conventional aggregates such as artificial sand to produce concrete that meets demand, such as C50 concrete.
Portland cement clinker is made by first heating limestone, shale, iron ore, and clay in a kiln to 2,700 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting compound, known as clinker, is then finely ground along with gypsum, limestone, and other materials into portland cement. ...
