To address the insufficient capacity of a tailings storage facility and environmental concerns at a gold mine,an ungraded tailings paste backfill method is planned for underground mining.To provide an economically feasible optimal mix design,experiments were conducted using the paste materials from the mine.Comparative tests were designed to study the effects of different mix ratios,slurry concentrations,and water-reducing agent addition on the strength and flowability of the paste.The results indicate that the mass ratios of cement,fly ash,and tailings,as well as slurry concentration and water-reducing agent addition,are crucial factors influencing the paste’s strength and flowability.A small amount of water-reducing agent significantly enhances the strength of the backfill paste.Proper control of slurry concentration and water-reducing agent addition can achieve better filling results.The addition of fly ash aids in improving paste strength with a water-reducing agent.After considering both slurry flowability and sample strength,the recommended optimal mix ratio for backfill is 1∶0.5∶8 (cement,fly ash,and tailings by mass)with a concentration of 66 %,and the addition of approximately 1 % water-reducing agent if necessary.This study also provides a theoretical basis for future ungraded tailings paste backfill projects in mines.
