Alkaliactivated ground granulated blastslag (AAS) is the most obvious alternative material for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, to use it as a structural material requires the assessment and verification of its durability. The most important factor for a durability evaluation is the degree of carbonation resistance, and AAS is known to show lower performance than OPC.

Jul 27, 2017· Prof. J. Davidovits explains the main differences between AAC (AlkaliActivated Cement or Concrete), AAS (AlkaliActivated Slag), AAF (AlkaliActivated Fly Ash) and Slagbased Geopolymer cement, in terms of chemistry, molecular structure, longterm durability. In a second part, on hand of the industrialization of Slag/fly ashbased geopolymer ...

Sep 09, 2017· Successive addition of sodium hydroxide deteriorates the mechanical strength of the slag cement. The reaction kinetics are also studied by examining the hydration products of slagblended cement paste through the technologies of Xray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

This paper presents a characterization analysis of alkaliactivated steel slag. The effect ratio of steel slag and ferronickel slag which are the precursor materials on the compressive strength of the alkaliactivated materials was investigated. The combination of sodium hydroxide solution of 15 moles concentration and sodium silicate was used as an alkaline activator.

of alkaliactivated concrete has been estimated around 80 % compared to Portland cement concretes [1, 6 ]. Alkaliactivation of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) has become the subject of intense research interest within the past decade. Strength development of slag cement is highly sensitive to curing conditions [7].

Jul 07, 2015· Recent interest in creating green construction materials has sparked the development of portland cement–free binders. Alkaliactivated slag (AAS) concrete has a low embodied energy and comparable or superior strengths to ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete.

The blast furnace slag and cement concretes were designed to a total content of 357 kg/m 3. The OPC concrete was mixed with water and % (cement weight) chemical admixture, whereas the alkaliactivated slag concretes were mixed with one of two solutions :Panreac 98% pure, 10 M NaOH (5% Na 2 O by slag mass)

These prisms contained between 0 and 70% slag cement in combination with portland cements, and had concrete alkali contents between and 11 kg/m3 ( and lb/ft3). The alkali content of the Portland cements ranged from to % and that of the slag cements from to %.

An alternative approach is alkaline activation of slag by group I metal alkalis. Compared with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and interground slag blended cement, alkali activated slag (AAS) cement has some advantageous properties, including rapid and high strength development, good durability and high resistance to chemical attack (16).

Slag powder processing equipment and technological process. Phrase one: raw material crushing Slag blocks will be crushed to 15mm50mm fineness by crusher. Phrase two: grinding Crushed slag material will be sent to the storage hopper by the elevator, and then the .

The NewCem® Slag Cement Advantage. To produce quality slag, a producer needs to have slag with an ideal chemistry from a consistent source and needs to have equipment close to the slag source to provide rapid quenching of the slag. Lafarge engineers and scientists have led North America in the research and development of specifications for slag.

As a new construction material to mitigate the disadvantages of concrete, fiberreinforced alkaliactivated slag or geopolymer composite is environmentally friendly because it can be produced using industrial byproducts [5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. It also has high ductility, of over 3%, under a tensile load.

Indeed, geopolymer cement is sometimes mistaken for alkaliactivated cement and concrete, developed more than 50 years ago by Glukhovsky in Ukraine, the former Soviet Union. They were originally known under the names "soil silicate concretes" and "soil cements".

INFLUENCE OF NUCLEATION SEEDING ON THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF ORDINARY PORTLAND CEMENT AND ALKALI ACTIVATED BLASTFURNACE SLAG M. Hubler, H. Jennings, and J. Thomas Civil and Environmental Engineering, Northwestern University Technological Institute 2145 Sheridan Rd. Evanston, IL 60208

Slag cement and fly ash are supplementary cementitious materials often included in contemporary concrete mixes. SCIC #11, Slag Cement and Fly Ash, compares the two materials, explaining that while chemical similarities exist between them, they exert different influences in concrete applications. Slag cement is a hydraulic cement while fly ash ...

Alkali activated slag (AAS) has gained huge attention in recent years due to its ability to replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as a binder in concrete. A need to replace OPC is imminent due to the high carbon dioxide emitted into the environment during its production. However, the use of this type of binder did not eliminate the huge strain placed on the deposit of natural resources.

SCIC #23, Slag Cement and Life Cycle Prediction Models, examines how slag cement can positively affect some of the properties that increase the useful life of a concrete structure and decrease life cycle cost, including low permeability, increased corrosion resistance, high strength, improved resistance to alkalisilica reactivity and sulfate ...

Thus, at 60 C the slag with 640 mý/kg of fineness and a watercement ratio of reached a compressive strength of approximately 40 MPa after a curing period of 4 hr. After a curing period of 72 hr, the heat of hydration of the slag cements was only about 60 percent of that of the modified portland cement.

The paper discusses approaches to compositional buildup of high strength alkali activated cements made using water glass as alkaline activator represented by commercial products in a form of powder and liquid. The purpose was to study the influence of fineness of ground granulated blastfurnace slags, admixtures and additives, compatible with alkali activated cements, water glass and mode of ...

They include Portland cement as covered by AASHTO M85 (2), Portland blast furnace slag cement (blended cement type IS), and slag cement (slag cement type S) as per AASHTO M240. (3) The use of GGBFS as a partial Portland cement replacement takes advantage of the energy invested in the slag making process and its corresponding benefits with ...

The provisions for personal protective equipment which are specified in the Materials Safety Data Sheets for many commerciallyavailable alkaliactivated binder systems and concretes are actually very similar to those specified for the handling of fresh Portland cement paste and concrete; the importance of correctly following the required ...

This test method provides a means for evaluating the ability of pozzolans and ground granulated blastfurnace slag to control deleterious internal expansion due to alkalisilica reaction when used with an aggregate intended for use in concrete.

This paper examines on the setting time and mechanical strength behaviour of slag cement pastes activated with different alkaline activators. For this purpose three alkaline solutions were used: waterglass solution (27% SiO2, 18 % Na2O and 55% H2O), NaOH and Na2CO3, maintaining always a constant concentration of Na2O (4% by mass of slag).

The granulated slag is then dried and ground in a ball mill or similar equipment to fineness similar to normal Portland cement or greater ... After 12 months of exposure to the Na 2 SO 4 solution, the strength decrease was up to 17% for alkaliactivated slag concrete and up to 25% for Portland cement concrete.
