dc.description.abstractThe cement industry, responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, necessitates developing sustainable materials to replace cement partially. This investigation examined the feasibility of using copper tailings, a byproduct of mining, as alternative materials for cement within mortars and reinforced mortars (0-15 wt%). The microstructural composition of the tailings was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The corrosion resistance of mortars reinforced with copper tailings was elucidated through opencircuit potential measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that incorporating 5 and 10 wt% of sieved copper tailings improved the mechanical strength and significantly enhanced the electrochemical stability, as indicated by more noble open-circuit potential values. Specifically, the sieved tailings played a crucial role in forming a more stable oxide film, which was confirmed by higher impedance values, suggesting a reduced corrosion rate. In contrast, mortars with 5 wt% of milled tailings exhibited properties like those of the control group. This electrochemical understanding highlights the potential of processed copper tailings in mitigating the environmental impact of cement production and enhancing the durability of cementitious composites.
