Used of bottom ash waste from power plant and tailing as mine backfill

Abstract

The using of bottom ash and tailing were by product from Mae Moh coal fired power plant as mine backfill. Laboratory was investigated the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of backfill containing bottom ash, tailing and cement. Using cast of backfill materials to test the ability of compressive strength in box size 555 cm. Four different types of backfill that portland cement type 1 was replaced by bottom ash, in the proportion of percent 5, 10, 15 and 20 by weight uncured and cured in water for 7 and 28 days. Backfill materials characterization bottom ash have been examined in grain size distribution, chemical composition analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) of backfill material. For the mechanical property was test by uniaxial compressive strength machine. The result was found that mixing ratio of bottom ash can be used as backfill material ranging from 15-20 % by weight. The mechanical property of backfill mixture suitable for use with compressive strength from 6.4-19.7 MPa and cured in water 28 days was maximum compressive strength.
