Abstract

This study investigates the use of iron ore tailings (IOT) from the jigging process in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero as the only aggregate in pre-mixed rendering mortars. The objective is to assess the technical feasibility of this application. The method involved physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization of the IOT, mortar formulation based on an industrial mix design, and tests for workability and compressive strength. The results indicate that the mortars met the requirements established by technical standards. The study contributes by providing data to support the use of mineral waste in construction materials.
