Influence of Mass Concentration on Microstructure and Pore Structure of Coal-Gangue-Based Green Cemented Filling Body by Jisheng Qiu, Minmin Yang, Kun Cheng, Xiao Guan, Xi Luan, Zhijie Xiao

“…The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of CGGCFB at different ages increased to varying degrees, and the maximum was 2.9 times of the original. In terms of microscopic pore structure characteristics, the total number of pores of CGGCFB decreases, the pore size changes from large to small, the shape tends to be uniform and circular, the force characteristics of the pores are improved, the complexity and tortuousness of the pore channels increase, and the inner surface of the pores becomes rough; the test results show that the performance of the backfill with a mass concentration of 82% is reasonable, and the utilization rate of coal gangue can be increased to 72%. …”
