In this work, the effects of calcination temperatures ranging from 600°C to 1,000°C on changes in mineralogical phases and mechanical characteristics calcined impure kaolinite clay blended cement mortars were investigated. The impact calcining temperature pozzolanic activity was evaluated using direct indirect methods. findings demonstrated that at 700°C, changed a crystalline an amorphous metakaolin phase. Specific surface, water demand, setting time cements decreased as increased....
Novel techniques such as power ultrasound (PUS) are currently under consideration to improve the hydration of cementitious materials and promote effectiveness replacing supplementary materials; SCMs, in terms mechanical, microstructural transport properties. This could enhance properties composites, reduce quantity waste materials, well decreasing CO2 footprint materials. A handful studies have investigated this promising field little is known about mechanisms by which acts cement-based...
The availability of some supplementary cementitious materials, especially fly ash, is imminent concern in Europe due to the projected closure several coal-fired power generation plants. Pure kaolinitic clays, which arguably have potential replace are also scarce and expensive their use other industrial applications. This paper examines utilisation low-grade clays for construction purposes. clay sample was heat-treated at a temperature 800 °C evenly blended with Portland cement substitutions...
