- Abstract
Significant amounts of mining tailings are generated and disposed of every year in dams, leading to potentially serious environmental and safety problems. To identify alternatives for the disposal of these wastes, research works involving their potential application as precursors in the development of alkaline-activated materials have been published in recent years. In this context, the objective of this paper is to present an overview of the main contributions already made on the subject, identified through a bibliometric review and content analysis in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. There was an exponential growth of interest in the subject in the period 2019–2021, when more than 50% of the papers were published. The most used tailings and sub-areas of research were also identified.
