Abstract:
In this paper, a model has been proposed for determining the relative chemical reactivity of blended binders for use cemented mine backfills. This model can be used for rational formulation of blended binder by using a concept of ‘corresponding reactivity’ based on a reference blended binder. The implementation of the proposed model will help reducing the number of batch to be prepared during the optimisation of mix recipes.
