The study involved conducting chemical, physical, and mineralogical characterizations of the sterile materials through various tests. Analyses using XRF, XRD, and SEM revealed the presence of quartz and other carbonates in the tailings, indicating a chemical similarity with Clinker and suggesting their suitability as viable substitutes. Moreover, the sample demonstrated levels of Hg and CN- below detectable limits, establishing it as non-polluting and endorsing its suitability for use in construction materials. The physical characterization identified an optimal replacement range for cement by sterile materials at 10-20 %. Concrete formulations were developed and assessed with a 20 % substitution, demonstrating mechanical results comparable to those of traditional concrete. These findings affirm the potential of these waste materials to address their improper disposal in water bodies, posing a significant threat to water quality and human health. Consequently, advocating for their sustainable utilization in the construction industry.
