Abstract:The present study describes the incorporation of mine tailings from the silver mine La Guitarra in the manufacture of lightweight prefabricated panels (LPPs). Tailings have concentrations of heavy metals below the maximum permissible levels according to Mexican regulations. Their acidity potential (AP) of 2.22 kg of CaCO3 per tailings ton, along with their lack of neutralization potential (NP), indicates a possibility for the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD). It was reported that concrete could be employ… Show more
