The need of light weight alloys for future transportation industry puts Sc and Ti under a sudden demand. While these metals can bring unique desired properties to alloys, lack reliable sources brought forth supply problem which be solved by valorization the secondary resources. Bauxite residue (red mud), with considerable content, is promising resource secure metals. Due drawbacks direct leaching route from bauxite residue, such as silica gel formation low selectivity towards valuable...
This work aims to study an aluminosilicate phosphate cementitious matrix. The matrix was studied on paste samples. synthesis of metakaolinite cement (MKPC) investigated using calorimetric techniques. A systematic performed by emphasizing a broad range Al/P molar ratios, covering the different behavior material extremes, as well optimum composition. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy revealed that final structure mainly amorphous network, albeit with some non-reacted phases....
The present article investigates the potential of co-calcination with kaolinite as a sector-wide solution for transformation bauxite residue into an effective supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Bauxite residues from eight alumina refineries were co-calcined 30 wt% at 750°C. SCMs moderately high reactivities obtained. Mortars replacement Portland cement (CEM I) by had relative strengths 73 ± 4%, 87 and 88 2% after 2, 7, 28 days compared to CEM I reference mortar. reactivity...
