The invention provides a composite mineral admixture based on
iron ore tailing mud and a preparation method thereof, and the composite mineral admixture comprises the following raw materials by weight: 30-40 parts of activated
iron ore tailing mud, 5-10 parts of layered ultrafine
powder, 5-10 parts of a
methacrylic acid-
cellulose copolymer, 5-7 parts of limestone
powder, 1-3 parts of a composite
grinding aid, and 1-3 parts of a composite activator. According to the composite mineral admixture disclosed by the invention, the mixing amount of the composite mineral admixture in
cement can be increased to the maximum extent, the use amount of
cement clinker is reduced, the production cost of the
cement is reduced, the composite cement has more excellent mechanical properties, volume stability and durability, and the composite mineral admixture plays a role similar to a
crystal nucleus effect in a cement hydration process; and meanwhile, the hydration products tend to be uniformly distributed in the whole interface transition area, the hydration products with better stability are generated, and the anti-permeability performance is improved.
