Repurposing mine tailings: Cold bonding of siliceous iron ore tailings ...
The formation of geopolymers from mine tailings using coldbonding processes is known to be possible. Numerous coldbonding methods exist, but the hydrothermal processes involving high temperatures and pressures in the presence of steam have been found to be the most ideal. This paper presents the results of successful preliminary studies to apply hydrothermal bonding processes to mine ...
