Phosphorous Slag

Ground phosphorous slag (PS) has not been widely used in construction due to its negative effects on the early-age performances of cementitious materials. The effects of calcium carbonate nanoparticles (NC) on strength development of mortar containing high content of PS were investigated at different curing ages. The NC was incorporated at 2% as partial mass replacements for binder. Hydration products and microstructure characterization was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal gravity (DTG), thermogravimetric (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Test results showed that NC improved both flexural and compressive strength of mortar containing high content of PS at 7, 28, 56, and 90 days. XRD, DTG-TG, and SEM analysis confirmed the filling effect of NC. Furthermore, the formation of the carboaluminate even at later age also improved the microstructure of mortar, which created a denser microstructure.

The effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) addition on the physical properties of ZnO-based crystal glaze batches were investigated. Samples were fired at different gloss firing temperatures ranging from 1180-1220°C with 3 hours soaking at 1060°C crystallization temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identifiedthe crystal phase occurred as willemite (Zn2SiO4) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that willemite crystals are in the acicular needle like shape that formed spherulite. The intensities of willemite peaks decreased with CaCO3 addition and completely vanished at 5.0 wt% CaCO3. Varied formation of spherulites developed of the surface of crystal glaze as the flows of the glaze stretched further as the amount of CaCO3 increased.

The present study aims to investigate the opportunity to largely substitute low heat Portland cement of mass concrete with supplementary cementitious materials. The pozzolanic reaction of two types of supplementary cementitious materials, phosphorous slag powder and fly ash , were determined by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis–thermogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy from 28 to 90 days. The properties of mortar and mass concrete containing 30% of supplementary cementitious materials were also investigated. Results showed that supplementary cementitious materials could decrease the amount of calcium hydroxide, fill the capillary pores, thus making the mortar and mass concrete more compact and durable. Long-term strength of mass concrete containing 30% of supplementary cementitious materials were comparable (or even better) than the control concrete (without supplementary cementitious materials) at constant workability, while the Young’s modulus was lower than the control concrete.

This study experimentally investigated the autogenous healing performances of cementitious materials incorporating superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) after exposure to eight cycles of wet/dry conditions. In each cycle, cracked cement paste specimens with different SAP dosages were exposed to wet conditions for 1 h, during which capillary water absorption tests were conducted, and then exposed to dry conditions for 47 h. The test results reveal that the initial sorptivity values of the reference, 0.5% SAP, 1.0% SAP, and 1.5% SAP specimens after one cycle were decreased by 22.9%, 36.8%, 42.8%, and 46.3%, respectively, after eight cycles. X-ray micro-computed tomography analysis showed that the crack volume percentages filled with healing products were 1.1%, 1.6%, 2.2%, and 2.9% in the reference, 0.5% SAP, 1.0% SAP, and 1.5% SAP specimens, respectively. As the cycling was repeated, the reduction ratio of the initial sorptivity and the quantity of healing products were increased with increases in SAP dosage. Furthermore, more healing products were distributed near SAP voids than in other sections in the specimens. This study demonstrates that the incorporation of SAPs in cementitious materials can enhance the autogenous healing performances of materials exposed to cyclic wet/dry conditions.

Nanoparticle-stacked 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) microspheres were successfully prepared by spray-drying, and rod-shaped FOX-7 was obtained by the solvent/nonsolvent method for comparison. The microstructure features of samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the thermal properties were also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the SEM analysis, the particle size of the rod-shaped FOX-7 is about 10 μm, whereas FOX-7 microspheres having a particle size ranging from 1 to 5 μm are formed by stacking nanoparticles with size of 100-250 nm. The crystal form of the samples prepared by the two methods did not change. The thermal performance test results showed that the rd-shaped FOX-7 had no significant change compared with the raw FOX-7, while the nanoparticle-stacked FOX-7 microspheres had higher thermal stability.

The bonding strength, and microstructures of Cu and Al couples using metallic powders as interlayer during transient liquid phase bonding (TLP bonding) were investigated. The interfacial morphologies and microstructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. First, to explore the optimum bonding time and temperature, nine samples were bonded without interlayers in a vacuum condition. Mechanical test results indicated that bonding at 560°C in 20 min returns the highest bond strength (84% of Al). This bonding condition was used to join ten samples with powder interlayers. Powders were prepared by mixing different combinations of Cu, Al (+Fe nanoparticles) and Zn. In the bonding zone, different Cu9Al4, CuAl, and CuAl2 intermetallic co-precipitate. The strongest bonding is formed in the sample with the 70Al (+Fe)-30Cu powder interlayer. Powder interlayers present thinner and more uniform intermetallic layers at the joint interface.

This work aims to study the feasibility of making a geopolymer cement based on dredged sediments, from the Fergoug dam (Algeria) and to evaluate their construction potential particularly interesting in the field of special cementitious materials. These sediments due to their mineralogical composition as aluminosilicates; are materials that can be used after heat treatment. Sedimentary clays were characterized before and after calcination by X-ray diffraction, ATG / ATD, spectroscopy (FTIR) and XRF analysis. The calcination was carried out on the raw material sieved at 80 μm for a temperature of 750 ° C, for 3.4 and 5 hours. The reactivity of the calcined products was measured using isothermal calorimetric analysis (DSC) on pastes prepared by mixing an alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 8 M in an amount allowing to have a Na / Al ratio close to 1 (1: 1). Also, cubic mortar samples were prepared with a ratio L / S: 0.8, sealed and cured for 24 hours at 60 ° C and then at room temperature until the day they were submited to mechanical testing. to check the extent of geopolymerization. The results obtained allowed to optimize the calcination time of 5 hours for a better reactivity of these sediments, and a concentration of 8M of sodium hydroxide and more suitable to have the best mechanical performances.

Abstract The present project proposes to utilize rice husk and maize cob husk ash in the cement to mitigate the adverse impact of cement on environment and to enhance the disposal of waste in a sustainable manner. Ternary concrete / MR concrete was prepared by using rise husk and maize cob ash with cement. For the present project, five concrete mixes MR-0 (Control mix), MR-1 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%), MR-2 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-5%), MR-3 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%), MR-4 (Rice husk ash 10% and MR-2.5%) were prepared. M35 concrete mix was designed as per IS 10262:2009 for low slump values 0-25mm. The purpose is to find the optimum replacement level of cement in M35 grade ternary concrete for I – Shaped paver blocks.In order to study the effects of these additions, micro-structural and structural properties test of concretes have been conducted. The crystalline properties of control mix and modified concrete are analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that 10% Rice husk ash and 5% maize cob ash replaced with cement produce a desirable quality of ternary concrete mix having good compressive strength. The results of SEM analysis indicated that the morphology of both concrete were different, showing porous structure at 7 days age and become unsymmetrical with the addition of ashes. After 28 day age, the control mix contained more quantity of ettringite and became denser than ternary concrete. XRD analysis revealed the presence of portlandite in large quantity in controlled mix concrete while MR concrete had the partially hydrated particle of alite.

Rare earth nano sized pollycrystalline orthoferrites and orthocromites ReT mO3 (Re = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Y and T m = Fe, Cr) have been synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion citrate method. The samples have been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The samples are single phase as confirmed by XRD analysis and correspond to the orthorhombic crystal symmetry with space group pbnm. Debye Scherer formula and Williamson Hall analysis have been used to calculate the average grain size which is consistent with that of determined from SEM analysis and varied between 25-75 nm. The elemental compositions of all samples have been checked by EDX analysis. Different crystallographic parameters are calculated with strong structural correlation among Re and Tm sites. The optical energy band gap has been calculated by using Tauc relation estimated to be in the range of 1.77 - 1.87 eV and 2.77 - 3.14 eV, for ReFeO3 and ReCrO3, respectively.

Ground Calcium Carbonate

Superfine ground calcium carbonate (GCC) produced by carbonate minerals is a widely used inorganic powder material. In order to get a finer GCC powder with narrow distribution span, the effect of rotational speed and media density on ground GCC were studied by dry grinding GCC in a planetary ball mill under different rotational speed and various media density. The grinding limit-particle size and distribution of grinding calcium carbonate were measured by centrifugal sedimentation granulometer. The structure of GCC was measured by X-ray diffraction. The result shows that low rotational speed and high-density media is conducive to get a product with smaller particle size and narrow size distribution; crystal plane (012) and (122) are more stable than (018) and (116).
