Title: | Aggregates obtained by alkali activation of fly ash: The effect of granulation, pelletization methods and curing regimes | Authors: | Rudić O. Ducman V. Malešev, Mirjana Radonjanin, Vlastimir Draganić, Anica Supić, Novica Radeka, Miroslava |
Issue Date: | 1-Mar-2019 | Journal: | Materials | Abstract: | © 2019 by the authors. This paper presents results regarding the phase composition, microstructure and textural properties of two types of aggregates, which were prepared via crushing or pelletization of alkali-activated Class F fly ash and cured under different conditions. The alkali activator was the same for aggregate products, containing an alkaline solution consisting of 8 M NaOH and Na-silicate (8 M NaOH/Na-silicate = 1:2.5 mass ratio). The aforementioned properties were influenced by two different preparation procedures combined with varying curing regimes (under normal conditions at 20 °C, RH 40-60% for 28 and 120 days and under an accelerated regime, at 65 °C for 5 days). Aggregates were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), back scattered electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometer (BSE-EDS) analyses and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). The results showed noteworthy structural and textural diversities between the two types of aggregate. The method of preparation and curing regime affected the formation of the N-A-S-H structure and the texture of the alkali-activated fly ash product, with the crushing method giving an advantage. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/467 | DOI: | 10.3390/ma12050776 |
