Preliminary Experiments

Mixing Ratios

During the preliminary experiments, 3 mixing ratios were decided. These were based on having a 4 solids content (Tailings+Binding material) to create consistency. The Pilgrim tailings were drier than Magma, so more water was added into Pilgrim's mixing ratios.
