Pozzolanic activity of clinoptilolite, the most common natural zeolite mineral, was studied in comparison to silica fume, fly ash and a non-zeolitic natural pozzolan. Chemical, mineralogical and physical characterizations of the materials were considered in comparative evaluations. Pozzolanic activity of the natural zeolite was evaluated with various test methods including electrical conductivity of lime-pozzolan suspensions; and free lime content, compressive strength and pore size distribution of hardened lime-pozzolan pastes. The results showed that the clinoptilolite possessed a high lime-pozzolan reactivity that was comparable to silica fume and was higher than fly ash and a non-zeolitic natural pozzolan. The high reactivity of the clinoptilolite is attributable to its specific surface area and reactive SiO(2) content. Relatively poor strength contribution of clinoptilolite in spite of high pozzolanic activity can be attributable to larger pore size distribution of the hardened zeolite-lime product compared to the lime-fly ash system.

Mutual activation of blast furnace slag and a high-calcium fly ash rich in free lime and sulfates Sahin, Murat; Mahyar, Mahdi; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (2016-11-15) Alkaline activation of fly ash and blast furnace slag has gained interest due to a desire to avoid Portland cement in mixtures. Outstanding mechanical performance and durability is reported, but often when the activator dosage is high which can have various negative environmental impacts that can overshadow the carbon reduction benefit. This study investigates the use of a ground slag, and a high-lime fly ash, rich in free lime and sulfates, to activate each other and render mortars which don't incorporate ...
Synergistic fire retardancy of colemanite, a natural hydrated calcium borate, in high-impact polystyrene containing brominated epoxy and antimony oxide Kaynak, Cevdet (2011-05-01) This study explores for the first time the synergistic fire retardant action of natural hydrated calcium borate, namely the mineral colemanite, which partially replaces antimony oxide in brominated flame retardant high-impact polystyrene compounds. Various antimony oxide to hydrated calcium borate ratios were employed keeping the brominated flame retardant additive at a constant loading level. With partial colemanite substitution for antimony oxide, lower heat release rate, total heat evolved and fire growt...
Investigation of fly ash characteristics on zeolite 4A synthesis Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019) There is lack of information about the relation between the candidate raw material fly ash and end product, Zeolite 4A.This study aims to fill the gap in the literature through controlled ash production experiments, characterization studies and Zeolite 4A synthesis. As a result of studies, the nucleation behaviour of the alkali fusion product obtained from fly ash was demonstrated and the most crystalline Zeolite 4A with cubic morphology were obtained from Seyitömer fly ash with alkali fusion product of Si/...
Pyrolysis characteristics of Turkish lignites in N-2 and CO2 environments BARZEGAR, RAMİN; Avşaroğlu, Sevil; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Atımtay, Aysel (2018-01-01) Pyrolysis characteristics and kinetic parameters of two Turkish lignites having different ash contents (Orhaneli as low ash and Soma as high ash sample) were studied under N-2 and CO2 atmospheres by means of thermogravimetric analysis. The isoconversional kinetic methods of FlynnWallOzawa, KissingerAkahiraSunose, and Friedman were employed to estimate the activation energy and pre-exponential factors. The experiments were conducted at four different heating rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees C/min within th...
Critical analysis of zeolite 4A synthesis through one-pot fusion hydrothermal treatment approach for class F fly ash Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kirdeciler, Salih Kaan; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2021-10-01) In this study, ‘‘One-pot fusion assisted hydrothermal synthesis’’ approach was employed to understand the nucleation and crystallization behaviour of the fusion product of Class F fly ash for zeolite 4A synthesis. Two sets of experiments were conducted by tailoring the control parameter of H2O/Na2O molar ratio (L/S) to investigate the nucleation and crystallization behaviour of zeolite 4A. The molar ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 and Na2O/SiO2 were tuned before alkali fusion by adding different amounts of Al(OH)3 to ...
