Abstract

The mining method of ion-type rare earth ores has been optimized by the in-situ leaching process. However, unorganized leakage may cause resource loss and impacts on the ecological environment. Therefore, anti-seepage work during the mining process is of particular importance. Based on three grouting anti-seepage materials, namely cement composite material (C-CM), liquid silicon-based composite material (Si-CM), and acrylate composite material (A-CM), and compounded with kaolin tailings, various indicators of each curtain grouting material were analyzed and compared through tests including the pH, density, viscosity, setting time, solid sand body strength test, slurry diffusion simulation, permeability, and durability test of the curtain grouting materials. The results indicate that the solid sand body of C-CM has relatively high strength, while A-CM and Si-CM have lower viscosity, stronger groutability, and the solid sand bodies formed have lower permeability coefficients, making them more suitable for anti-seepage in areas with smaller fractures. Si-CM degrades relatively quickly in dry-wet cycles and freeze-thaw cycles, and the degradation product is mainly SiO2. In addition, the strength and anti-seepage performance of the solid sand body of the anti-seepage material can be improved to a certain extent by adding kaolin tailings, and the early durability of the material is also increased.
