Abstract
The introduction of active mineral additives into cement makes it possible to obtain concrete with high physical, mechanical and operational characteristics, namely, they increase the density, water resistance, frost, sulfate, alkali resistance and salt resistance of concretes and mortars, while reducing the consumption of clinker cement. The scale of construction of facilities using cement concrete is growing every year, which raises the question of reducing the consumption of clinker cement, due to the high energy intensity of production using active mineral additives. The use of active mineral additives in the form of waste from enrichment has high economic and environmental significance. The article examines the ways of using waste tailings of polymetallic ore enrichment in cement as a complex modified binder with an active mineral additive. To select the optimal ratio of silica and Balkhash GOK enrichment waste, their pozzolan activity was determined, which is 3.8-4 times higher for silica than for BGOK waste. The pozzolan activity of Balkhash GOK enrichment waste 16 hours after mixing with lime solution is 24 mg/g, and microsilicon is 114 mg/g. The pozzolan activity of a complex mineral additive for cements consisting of 60% of Balkhash GOK enrichment waste and 40% of microsilicon is 48 mg/g. The introduction of 40% silica into the Balkhash GOK enrichment waste increases the pozzolan activity of the complex additive by 2 times. This made it possible to obtain a modified binder using a complex mineral additive of up to 20%.
