  • Patent number: 11919813
    Abstract: A lime-based cement extender composition, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the lime-based cement extender composition includes 5-20% by weight lime particles, 40-50% by weight limestone particles, and 40-50% by weight pozzolan particles. Additionally or alternatively, the lime-based cement extender composition can comprise a calcium oxide concentration of 45-65%, a magnesium oxide concentration of 0.5-2%, an iron oxide concentration of 0.5-2.0%, an aluminum oxide concentration of 2-8%, a silicon dioxide concentration of 20-40%, a potassium oxide concentration of 20,000-30,000 ppm, and a sodium oxide concentration of 10,000-20,000 ppm. In some embodiments, the lime-based cement extender composition, or product, is combined with cement to produce a cement blend for use in the mining industry as mine backfill.
