- Characterization of mine tailings in their natural state and stabilized with cement, focused on construction Maureen Ixchel Ramos-Hernández María de la Luz Pérez-Rea Ingeniería mine tailings materials characterization Environmental impact This work presents the physical-chemical, geotechnical and mechanical characterization of a sample of mine tailings from the state of Zacatecas, Mexico with the objective of evaluating their possible use as a construction material for pavement support layers or as an aggregate of a hydraulic concrete. The material analyzed was classified as a poorly graded silty sand (SP-SM) according to the USCS classification and is composed mainly of quartz and calcite. The analyzed sample satisfies the necessary requirements, according to current Mexican regulations, to be used as i) a subgrade layer in a pavement, without the addition of virgin aggregates, or ii) as fine aggregates in the production of hydraulic concrete, previously sieved to correct its grain-size distribution. The mining residues studied do not require stabilization because the material transported in the leaching process is below the permissible limits for heavy metals according to Mexican regulations; this may be caused by the neutral pH of the sample, demonstrating a high adsorption of the heavy metals that avoids potential leaching. However, the sample was stabilized with Portland cement with 3 and 5 % respectively to corroborate the decrease in heavy metal transport based on the consulted bibliography; the concentrations of the analyzed elements decreased except for chrome due to its presence in the stabilizing material and an increase in the pH value was observed. 2021 artículo científico 1405-7743 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=40471796002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/404/40471796002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/404/40471796002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/404/40471796002/40471796002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/404/40471796002/movil 10.22201/fi.25940732e.2021.22.2.010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=404 Ingeniería.
