Cement and hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose interaction: The performance of cement-based adhesives

2022-04-01
Cellulose ethers are often used to improve the properties of cement-based ceramic adhesives during their setting and hardening stages. The chemical and structural characteristics of a cellulose ether significantly improve some properties like the rheological and water retention characteristics as well as the mechanical properties of the adhesives. Since the effects of cement type are seldom studied in literature, this study aims to examine how the interaction of different cellulose ether-cement combinations will affect the properties of ceramic adhesives. In the experimental program, five different cement types and four different cellulose ethers based on hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) were utilized to obtain 20 ceramic adhesives. The performance of the adhesives was determined using the readily available standards. It was found out that in addition to HEMC type, the cement type has an effect on the properties of ceramic adhesives. As a result, it was shown that the cement fineness is also a parameter that contributes to the physical jamming effect of the cellulose ether molecules, thus affecting the water retention properties of the ceramic adhesives.

Mechanical properties and surface energies of low density polyethylene poly(vinyl chloride) blends
Akovali, G; Torun, TT; Bayramlı, Erdal; Erinc, HK (1998-03-01)
A series of blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) are prepared and examined. Plasma treatment is applied to one of the components (LDPE) in order to affect the degree of compatibility. For this purpose, different monomers, such as carbon tetrachloride and vinyl chloride, are used. Tensile test results for all the blend samples, with and without plasma-treated LDPE, are compared. The surface energy results of blends prepared from untreated and treated LDPE-PVC showed consid...
Membrane fabrication using nanocrystalline cellulose
Volkan, Ecem; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-10-13)
Cellulose is a biopolymer which is resistant to many solvents due to inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds; also, it is hydrophilic and resistant to fouling, which makes cellulose attractive for membrane applications in aqueous and organic media. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is a promising material due to high surface area, rod-like structure, good dispersion abilities, biodegradability and nanoscale. It is produced by acid hydrolysis using mineral acids to digest amorphous regions of the cellulose ch...
Gas mixing in conical spouted beds
Doğan, Neslin; Külah, Görkem; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-12-28)
Conical spouted beds are relatively new generation gas-solid flow reactors used in various applications such as drying, catalytic polymerization, treatment of wastes, particle coating and chemical vapor deposition due to their advantages over cylindrical spouted beds. For complete characterization of conical spouted beds, determination of the local flow structure based on gas velocity and gas mixing is of paramount importance. There are limited studies on local gas behavior in conical spouted beds, especial...
Copper removal from regenerated pickling solutions of steel plants
Sütcü, Esra; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
Pickling is a metal surface treatment technique, made by strong inorganic acids to prepare metals for subsequent processes. The process generates a substantial amount of waste acid because large amount of acid is spent during the process. The impact of the waste acid to the environment is noticeable. The waste solution contains the contaminants of the metal surface and it is also a source of valuable products, metal salts and copper. When the concentration of copper in the pickling solution exceeds the lev...
Compressive strength development of calcium aluminate cement-GGBFS blends
Kirca, Onder; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Tokyay, Mustafa (2013-01-01)
The compressive strength development of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) blends that were subjected to different curing regimes are investigated. The blends had GGBFS/CAC ratios between 0% and 80%, by mass. Mortar specimens, prepared with a water:binder:sand ratio of 1:2:6, were subjected to seven different curing regimes and the compressive strengths were monitored up to 210 days. In order to understand the effect of temperature on compressive strength develop...
