Research Center of Paste Backfill and Mining, USTB

The Research Center of Paste Backfill and Mining was founded in December, 2012 under the permission of University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). The center takes full advantages of research and talents from Civil and Resource Engineering School and Key Laboratory of Ministry of Education for Efficient Mining and Safety of Metal Mines.

In recent years, the center has been devoted to dozens of research projects relating to paste backfill, whereby the National Key Technology Support Program is highlighted. Considerable research findings are achieved in some important fields. These fields include backfill mechanism, mechanics of granular media of backfill materials, hydromechanics of pipeline transportation, dewatering of tailings and paste preparation, synthesis technique of green mining. A number of invention patents are authorized, and more than 300 papers are published. Our team comprise more than ten professors, including two distinguished professors of Chang Jiang Scholars Program, one winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, three winners of Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University of Ministry of Education, and one winner of National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award. For the past 10 years, our research team has received four national awards, more than ten ministerial or provincial-level awards.

The center supports the following research conditions: static sedimentation experiment of tailings, dynamic sedimentation and thickening experiment, flowability tests, physical and mechanical property test, mechanical experiment of shear and compressive strength, rheological experiment, friction loss test, etc. We focus on technology research and development, project consulting and assessing, engineering design and equipment selection.
