Dry stacking has emerged as a safer alternative to conventional tailings dams for gold tailings (GT) disposal. Despite growing interest in mine tailings stabilization, much research has focused on conventional binders or alkali-activated binders (AABs) using the two-part method. However, studies on one-part AABs for filtered GT in dry stacking applications remain scarce. This study evaluates the unconfined compressive strength...

The management of metallurgical tailings from the zinc process (MTZP) involves a series of hazards due to the presence of heavy metals and sulfates in its composition. An alternative to overcome these difficulties is the use of the solidification/stabilization technique associated with the disposal in dry stacks. For this purpose, it was evaluated the environmental, microstructural, and mechanical properties of compacted metal...
