Gangue slurry pumping backfill offers a cost-effective and environmentally sound solution for coal mine solid waste disposal. Addressing the poor pumpability of pure gangue slurry, this study applied the Talbot gradation theory to a non-cemented gangue system by designing various particle size gradations and water-solid ratios (W/S). Through tests on rheological properties, slump, spread, and bleeding rate, the optimal proportion for pumpability of pure gangue slurry (PGS) within the scope of this study was determined. Tests were conducted on rheology, slump, spread flow, and bleeding rate to determine the optimal mix proportion for pumpability. The results show that: The slurry in this study demonstrates a strong correlation with the characteristics of a Bingham fluid. Its yield stress increases significantly as the W/S decreases. At a gradation index (n) of 0.4, particle packing is densest, resulting in the lowest yield stress. Slump and spread flow decrease with a lower W/S. They initially increase and then decrease as the gradation index increases, with optimal fluidity observed at n = 0.4. Bleeding rate increases with a higher gradation index but decreases with a lower W/S. Comprehensive optimization determined the optimal mix proportion as gradation index n = 0.4 and W/S of 0.18. At this ratio: Yield stress = 144.25 Pa, Slump = 255 mm, Spread flow = 60.1 cm, Bleeding rate = 2.21%. This meets the pumping requirements (Slump > 180 mm, Bleeding rate < 3%). The research results provide important experimental value for the practical pipeline transportation of PGS and the reduction in pumping friction resistance.
