Cost-Effective Treatment of Hemihydrate Phosphogypsum and Phosphorous Slag as Cemented Paste Backfill Material for Underground Mine by Xilong Xue, Yuxian Ke, Qian Kang, Qinli Zhang, Chongchun Xiao, Fengjian He, Qing Yu

“…The results show that (1) the UCS of CPB increases with the increase of the HPG content and mass fraction, and the addition of 3% quicklime can eliminate CO2, H2S, and SO2 generated from the slurry of CPB-based HPG-PS; (2) the addition of 3% quicklime and 5% cement to the HPG-PS mixtures can offset the strength loss of CPB in the late curing stage; (3) the UCS of the recommended specimen reaches 1.15–3.32 MPa after curing from 7 to 28 days, with their slump values varying from 15 mm to 26 mm, and the bleeding rates between 0.87% and 1.15%, which can meet the technical requirements of mining methods; (4) the UCS of CPB is the result of the cohydration reaction of hemihydrate gypsum (HG) in HPG and active Al2O3 and SiO2 in PS; and (5) the leaching indexes meet Category IV of the Chinese Groundwater Quality Standard (DZ/T 0290-2015). …”

Confiance, langage, résistance by Hubert Vincent

“…The purpose of the text is to analyze and present the notion of « passibility » specific to Jean-Francois Lyotard, who appoints and tries to identify an experience of reception.The text first shows how this notion makes sense from the diagnosis that Jean-François Lyotard regularly made of our time and its most problematic trends.He then shows how this experience of reception can be understood according to its link to a certain inventiveness of language, and its link with a critical rejection of the search for origin.Deeply dependent on Freud and on the model of the analytical cure, this analysis allows us to grasp the most important sources of confidence both in ourselves and in the world. …”
