Abstract

The article presents the case-study of properties of domestic binders in dust suppression at tailing storage facilities at a mining and processing plant in the Murmansk Region. The strength development dynamics of the binder-formed blankets and the change in the strength in the wetting–drying mode are determined, the impact of chemical agents on water permeability of treated tailings is estimated, and leaching of polymerized concentrates in weakly acid and alkaline media is carried out. The authors emphasize essentiality of an integrated research for the well-founded choice of a binder.
