Synergistic optimization of filling material performance using yellow phosphorus slag as auxiliary cementitious material and aggregate

  • 摘要: 为解决黄磷产业大宗固废堆存带来的严峻环境问题,实现其高效协同资源化利用,本文围绕黄磷渣胶凝活性激发机理及其矿山充填性能开展了系统性试验研究. 首先开展黄磷渣胶凝材料试验,探究兼顾水化活性与经济性的最优配比;随后基于该优选配比构建全磷基固废胶结充填体系,系统探明胶凝材料与黄磷渣骨料替代率对充填体力学强度的协同影响规律. 结合热重分析(TG)、X射线衍射(XRD)及扫描电镜(SEM)等微观表征手段,从水化产物演化与界面结构角度揭示了强度的演化机制. 结果表明:“碱–硫酸盐”复合激发可有效激活黄磷渣潜在活性,采用20%氧化钙、26.7%粉煤灰与5%硫酸钠协同激发时,黄磷渣胶凝材料28 d抗压强度最高达13.15 MPa. 将该辅助胶凝材料应用于常规水泥–磷石膏充填体系:砂胶比2时,充填体强度随着黄磷渣胶凝材料替代率的增加呈先快速下降、后趋于平缓的趋势,转折替代率约为25%;随着黄磷渣骨料替代率增加呈“先增后降”的规律,并于25%替代率时达至峰值;而砂胶比为3时,黄磷渣骨料替代率(<50%)对充填体强度的影响则呈现“持续提升”的规律. 综合而言,黄磷渣“胶凝–骨料”的协同替代能有效平抑单一黄磷渣胶凝材料替代引起的强度劣化,在维持充填体强度稳固的同时,使充填材料成本降幅逾20%,显示出显著的力学与经济协同优化效能.

     

    Abstract: Mitigating the environmental impact of bulk industrial solid waste from yellow phosphorus smelting requires efficient and collaborative resource utilization of by-products. This study systematically investigates the pozzolanic activity activation mechanism of yellow phosphorus slag (YPS) and evaluates its performance as a primary component in underground cemented mine backfill systems. The physicochemical properties of YPS and phosphogypsum (PG) were characterized, revealing that YPS was rich in CaO (50.66%) and SiO2 (37.33%), which provided a solid chemical foundation for the formation of C–S–H and AFt hydration products under alkaline conditions. Extensive mix proportion experiments were conducted on YPS-based supplementary cementitious materials to determine the optimal formulation that balanced early age hydration reactivity with long-term economic feasibility. A novel “chemical–mineral” composite excitation strategy utilizing calcium oxide (CaO), coal fly ash (FA), and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) was employed to overcome the inherent low early-stage reactivity of YPS. The optimized binder matrix formed the basis of an innovative all-phosphorus-based solid-waste-cemented backfill system. This study examined the synergistic effects of varying the substitution rate of YPS-based cementitious material and YPS structural aggregates on the macroscopic unconfined compressive strength of the backfill body. To provide robust theoretical validation for the observed macroscopic mechanical behaviors, advanced microscopic characterization techniques, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were employed. The experimental results demonstrated that the implementation of an "alkali–sulfate" composite excitation strategy can effectively activate the latent cementitious properties of YPS. Specifically, using an excitation composite consisting of 20% CaO, 26.7% FA, and 5% Na2SO4, the newly developed YPS-based cementitious material achieved a remarkable maximum 28-day compressive strength of 13.15 MPa. When this optimized binder formulation was applied to the YPS–PG composite backfill system, the macroscopic strength decreased as the substitution rate of the YPS cementitious material increased. However, replacing fine PG with coarse YPS as an aggregate resulted in a pronounced enhancement in the strength. Under a relatively rich binder condition (sand-to-binder ratio of 2), the compressive strength exhibited a distinct evolutionary trend of “an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease” as the YPS aggregate substitution rate increased, reaching an optimal peak at a 25% substitution rate due to the ideal “skeleton-filling” packing density. Conversely, under lean binder conditions (sand-to-binder ratio of 3), the effect of the aggregate substitution rate on the mechanical performance demonstrated a monotonic “continuous improvement” characteristic, highlighting the critical structural support provided by the coarse YPS particles. Ultimately, this study proves that the dual-substitution strategy can effectively mitigate the strength degradation typically caused by a single binder substitution. This approach not only maintains the stringent mechanical stability required for underground backfilling (achieving 3.45 MPa with the optimal mix) but also significantly reduces the overall raw material costs by 22%–23%. The findings demonstrate significant synergistic optimization effects, balancing exceptional mechanical performance with economic benefits and offering a highly viable technological pathway for the large-scale disposal of multi-source phosphorus-based solid wastes in the circular economy of green mining.
