A portland cement clinker, a natural pozzolan, and a granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) were used to obtain blended cements that contain 25% mineral additives. The natural pozzolan, which was softer, was more grindable and granulated blast furnace slag, which was harder, was less grindable than the clinker. Two of the cements produced were obtained by intergrinding and the other two were obtained by separate grinding and then blending. All of the blended cements and the control cement without any additive had the same fineness as 3500 +/- 100 cm(2)/g Blaine fineness. During grinding, energy consumption of the mill was recorded and a sample corresponding to each energy level as taken from the mill at regular intervals and particle size distribution was determined. Cements produced were compared for change in particle size distribution during grinding and 1-,2-, 7-, 28-, and 90-day compressive strengths points of view. Also, interactions between clinker and mineral additive portions of blended cements during intergrinding is highlighted.

Evaluation of a sand bentonite mixture as a shaft/borehole sealing material
Akgün, Haluk (2018-11-01)
The mechanical and hydrological characteristics of compacted sand bentonite mixtures with bentonite contents ranging from 5 to 40% were investigated in the laboratory in order to assess their use as a waste isolation material and to select an optimum sand bentonite mixture. Laboratory tests included compaction, compaction permeability, unconfined compression and direct shear tests which led to a recommendation to select a mixture with a bentonite content of 30% for the isolation of underground geological wa...
Use of granulated blast furnace slag and lime in cement-bentonite slurry wall construction
Talefirouz, D.; Çokça, Erdal; Omer, J. (2016-01-01)
This paper describes an experimental investigation on the use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and lime as stabilizers for cement-bentonite (CB) slurry used in constructing vertical barrier walls. The primary objective is to develop a blended material, which can reduce the permeability and also enhance the strength of CB slurry walls with a shortened curing time. Mixtures comprising various proportions of cement, bentonite, GGBFS, and lime were prepared and tested for particle size distributi...
Influence of mineral admixture type and amount on rheological properties of mortars
Idrees, Maria; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
Fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) are used in different amounts to partially replace portland cement (PC) on mass basis to prepare mortars mixtures with different water-binder ratios. In all mixtures, a constant amount of a polycarboxylate based high range water reducing admixture was used. The rheological measurements of fresh mortars were taken right after mixing and at 10 and 20 minutes after mixing by using a two-probe eBT2 rheometer. The effect of each minera...
Properties of Ground Perlite Geopolymer Mortars
Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-07-01)
Perlite is a volcanic aluminosilicate abundant in several countries that are major producers of portland cement. The amorphous nature and silica-to-alumina ratio of ground perlite indicate that it can be activated with alkaline solutions. This study presents the strength development of mixtures containing only ground perlite as their powder binder, activated with sodium hydroxide and/or sodium silicate solutions, at room temperature or using oven curing. The structure of the formed geopolymers is investigat...
Utilization of fine coal tailings by flotation using ionic reagents
Sis, H; Ozbayoglu, G; Sarikaya, M (Informa UK Limited, 2004-08-01)
Fatty acid type ionic collectors were used as an alternative to conventional oily collectors, kerosene, and pine oil mixture in the flotation of coal tailing with 46.1% ash. The conventional collectors could not reduce the ash content of the concentrate below 22%. On the other hand, ionic collectors were found to be significantly better at reducing the ash content down to 13%. It was concluded that despite their lower flotation yield and higher consumptions, certain ionic collectors could be used successful...
