Effect of particle size and slag content on the early hydration of interground blended cements

2016-03-01
Three blended cements prepared by intergrinding 6-35% slag with clinker and gypsum, and a control portland cement, were sieved to yield 0-10 mu m, 10-30 mu m, 30-50 mu m, and >50 mu m subgroups. Clinker/slag/gypsum contents, and oxide compositions of the subgroups differed significantly from the unsieved cements. Fine subgroups always contained more gypsum and had lower slag-to-clinker ratios than coarse subgroups. Heat evolution was investigated up to 48 h using isothermal calorimetry. Contribution of slag to early heat evolution was limited. 0-10 mu m particles evolved up to 5-10% of their heat in the first 30 min. Particle size affected the peak rate of heat evolution but not its timing. A linear relationship was observed between heat evolved from 0 to 24 h and from 24 h to 48 h. Median size or slag content of subgroups affected the positions of data points on this line. Heat evolved up to 24 h (or 48 h) was found to be closely related to particle size. Rate of heat development does not appear to be strongly influenced by particle size above -30 mu m.

Influence of slag fineness on the strength and heat evolution of multiple-clinker blended cements
Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (2017-11-30)
Three clinkers and a blast furnace slag, ground separately, were combined to produce 27 cements. Each cement consisted of 35% fine (similar to 6000 cm(2)/g), 25% intermediate (similar to 4000 cm(2)/g), and 40% coarse (similar to 2500 cm(2)/g) particles. Slag made up the fine or intermediate particles in the blended cements, clinkers making up the remainder. Compressive strength was measured up to 28 d on mortars and heat evolution was investigated up to 48 h using isothermal calorimetry. Portland cements wi...
Effect of Pozzolan Content and Fineness on Early Hydration of Interground Blended Cements
Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Tokyay, Mustafa (2014-03-01)
The chemical composition and heat evolution of <45 mu m (fine), and > 45 mu m ( coarse) portions of interground, natural pozzolan-blended cements were investigated. Cements with four different pozzolan contents were ground to 300 m(2)/kg, 500 m(2)/kg, and 600 m(2)/kg fineness and sieved through a 45 m sieve. Clinker, pozzolan, and gypsum contents in the fine and coarse portions after sieving were determined and compared with the unsieved cements. Heat of hydration evolution of the samples were determined up...
Effect of Midsynthesis Addition of Silica to the Synthesis Medium on the Properties of MFI-Type Zeolite Membranes
Soydas, Belma; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Culfaz, Ali (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-06-02)
Thin zeolite membranes of MFI type were prepared on alpha-Al2O3 supports by midsynthesis addition of silica in a recirculating flow system at 95 degrees C The synthesis was started with the batch composition of 80SiO(2): 30TPAOH:1500H(2)O which was changed to 80SiO(2)center dot 9TPAOH:1500H(2)O by addition of silica Mkt 24, 48, or 72 h Compared to synthesis at constant composition. it is possible to affect the rates of nucleation and crystal growth to obtain membranes with better quality by changing the ove...
Effect of N-methylimidazole and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole ligands on the polymerization of di(2,6-dichlorophenolato) Cu(II)/Co(II) complexes in the solid state
Baştürkmen, M.; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kisakürek, D. (2004-03-15)
The polymerization of 2,6-dichlorophenol (DCPH) was achieved through the thermal decomposition of copper complexes of DCPH with N-methylimidazole (NMIz) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (DMPz) ligands. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility balance, electron spin resonance, X-ray analysis, and elemental analysis were used to characterize the complexes. The polymerizatio...
Effect of YF3 on hot-pressed hydroxyapatite and monoclinic zirconia composites
Evis, Zafer (2007-09-15)
Monoclinic zirconia and hydroxyapatite (HA) composites with or without 5 wt% YF3 were synthesized to investigate their mechanical properties and phase stability. HA decomposed to tri-calcium-phosphate and CaZrO3 in the 25 wt% ZrO2-75 wt% HA composite. However, thermal stability of the phases, densification, hardness and fracture toughness were improved when 5 wt% YF3 was added into the system. Five weight percent YF3 increased the transformation of monoclinic-ZrO2 into tetragonal/cubic-ZrO2 by incorporating...
