Abstract
In certain underground stope-support applications, silicated backfill is favoured over the conventional classified-tailings backfill. This i s due to the lower water run-off and high early fill strength associat ed with silicated fills. Little work has been done on the effect of bi nder addition on the performance of pipeline-backfill distribution sys tems. This paper examines the influence of binder addition on the hydr aulic-transport properties of classified-backfill slurries.
