Properties of alinite cement produced by using soda sludge

2013-04-01
A production route of alinite cement clinker using the waste material of the Solvay process of the soda industry as the main raw material was searched. Soda sludge (73.5 wt%), clay (26.3 wt%) and minor amounts of iron ore (0.2 wt%) were mixed to obtain a raw mix that is later burned at nine different burning schemes. Four different burning temperatures (1050, 1100, 1150 and 1200 degrees C) and three different burning durations (60, 90 and 180 min) were applied for clinkerisation. The clinkers obtained were investigated by chemical, mineralogical and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The analyses confirmed the formation of the alinite phase [Ca10Mg0.8[(SiO4)(3.4)(AlO4)(0.6)O2Cl]] in the clinkers. Results revealed that increasing burning temperature and duration did not cause a significant change in the phases developed, but caused an increase in the crystal size of the phases. Compressive strength tests were also performed on the produced alinite cements to determine the appropriateness of these cements for structural purposes. It is envisaged that the alinite cement produced at a substantially lower temperature than normal Portland cement clinker will lead to benefits not only in terms of economy and ecology but also sustainability of the cement production.

Synthesis of alinite cement using soda solid waste
Güneş, Aslı; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Cement Engineering (2010)
This study is dedicated to give a production route for a kind of low energy cement called alinite cement using the waste material of soda industry as the main raw material. Soda solid waste, clay and minor amount of iron ore were mixed with certain quantities and burned at six different burning temperatures of 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1350, and 1450 ºC. The resultant clinkers were investigated by mineralogical and chemical analysis. Mineralogical analyses were performed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. ...
Effects of separate and intergrinding on some properties of portland composite cements
Soyluoğlu, Serdar; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
In the production of cement, to increase the cement/clinker ratio and decrease CO2 emission, the most important alternative is to produce mineral admixture incorporated cements (CEM II-III-IV-V) instead of portland cement (CEM I). These cements are usually produced by intergrinding the portland cement clinker and the mineral admixtures. However, the difference between grindabilities of the different components of such cements may cause significant effects on the particle size distribution and many other pro...
Breakage characteristics of cement components
Avşar, Çağatay; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Mining Engineering (2003)
The production of multi-component cement from clinker and two additives such as trass and blast furnace slag has now spread throughout the world. These additives are generally interground with clinker to produce a composite cement of specified surface area. The grinding stage is of great importance as it accounts for a major portion of the total energy consumed in cement production and also as it affects the quality of composite cements by the particle size distribution of the individual additives produced ...
Utilization of soda and beer wastes in cementitious systems
Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
To maintain the sustainability of cement and concrete production, there is a trend to use wastes in their production. Soda waste, generated by soda ash production process, and beer waste, generated by beer filtration process, are two locally produced wastes in Turkey and many other countries. The nature of these wastes, mostly their fineness, makes them possible to be used in concrete production, especially as a viscosity modifying agent in the self consolidating type of concrete. In this study, the additio...
Effects of granulated blast furnace slag trass and limestone fineness on the properties of blended cements
Delibaş, Tuğhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Cement Engineering (2012)
The aim of this research was to determine the effects of the fineness of different mineral additives on loss on ignition, heat of hydration, physical, mechanical and chemical properties of blended cements. For that purpose, portland cement clinker was replaced with granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), natural pozzolan (NP) and limestone (L) at 6%, 20% and 35% replacement levels. Blended cements containing GBFS and NP were ground to a fineness of 3000, 5000 and 6000 cm2/g. Cements containing L were ground t...
