Metal mine tailings (MMT) are a kind of industrial solid waste, with an increasing accumulation year by year, which has seriously damaged the ecological environment. Incorporating MMT in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an effective means to achieve green sustainable development, which can not only make wastes be resources and prevent pollution but also save raw material costs and reduce energy consumption. However, metal mine tailings contain complex and diverse metal oxides and other chemical substance and even contain certain radioactive elements and heavy metal ions. These factors can affect the corrosion resistance of UHPC, accelerate its aging and damage, and in addition may have serious impacts on the environment and human health. This paper summarizes the material properties of MMT and its application in UHPC; analyzes the effects of MMT as powder or fine aggregate on the workability, mechanical properties, durability, and leaching toxicity of UHPC; and elaborates the hydration products, interfacial transition zone, and pore structure of UHPC incorporating MMT (MMT-UHPC). Based on previous research results, the relationship between flowability, flexural strength, porosity, and compressive strength of MMT-UHPC is established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
