  • Abstract:
  • The mining industry is a rigorous area for human progress. The depletion of profitable minerals at the surface has necessitated deeper underground mining. Safety and environmental considerations have prompted mining corporations to contemplate the backfilling of mine waste to prevent mine collapse during subsequent extraction stages, ground subsidence upon mine abandonment, and environmental contamination. This study reviews the primary ways of backfilling underground mines, with a focus on the cemented paste backfill method. The selection of the backfilling process should be determined by subsequent objectives, available equipment and materials, and economic considerations. Cemented paste backfill technology is an emerging technique that enhances safety in underground mining situations and serves as an effective preventative measure for environmental contamination by disposing of dangerous waste minerals beneath.
