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....
Reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere is a key challenge to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse effect. CO2 cause lots problems for health humans and increase global warming, in which uptake decreases these environmental issues. The mineral carbonation process an alternative method during industrial wastes rich calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg) react with form stable carbonate mineral. In this research, feasibility by use red gypsum, as Ca-rich source, was evaluated...
This paper explores the potential of a new source fly ash, deposited on site coal-fired power plant in Ireland dating from 1985 to 1995, as cement replacement material. A series X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses binder samples with levels 0, 10, 25 and 35% was undertaken determine ash’s mineralogical composition its suitability supplemental cementitious material (SCM). The XRD results reveal unique mineral promising characteristics for enhancing strength durability concrete. experimental were...
Leaching from cement can lead to a loss in performance and durability also have an environmental impact. Therefore, it is important aspect consider when new cements are being developed where concrete be placed that could the contamination of groundwater. Calibrated thermodynamic models provide very useful predictions matter seconds for any cement-based material. However, such need include accurate representations solid-solution nature C-S-H gels included incongruent dissolution calcium...
