Monitoring pozzolanic activity by direct activation with calcium hydroxide [PDF]

, 1996
In this paper the change in conductivity of pozzolan/CH mixtures, at ambient temperatures, is monitored for periods extending over two days. Such a method allows the chemical activity within the mixture to be followed and it is shown that a number of ...

Co‐Calcination of Silicate or Aluminosilicate Network of Clay and Non‐Clay Minerals With NaOH: Physicochemical Insights

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
Effects of co‐calcination with alkali hydroxide on pure clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite) and typical impure minerals (quartz, feldspar) are presented. Co‐calcining montmorillonite and quartz with sodium hydroxide improves their reactivity. Co‐calcining kaolinite with sodium hydroxide reduces its reactivity.

Study of the pozzolanicity of two clays from Kindia (Guinea) with a view to their use in the formulation of hydraulic binder

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2022
This work presents, firstly, the results of pozzolanicity tests on two varieties of clay, codified respectively ABD and ARD, taken at Débélé. In a second step, the physical properties of the mortars obtained from these two clays by substitution of cement

Utilization of Bio Ashes in Cement-based Materials: A Case Study in Cooperation with Pulp and Paper and Energy Production Industries in Sweden

Nordic Concrete Research, 2020
Worldwide increased concern of the CO2 emissions has led to the replacement of coal by biomass in combustion-based power plants. However, this would cause the scarcity of fly ash, one of the most well-known rest products from coal combustion, which is ...

Development of Sustainable Paver Block to Suit Very Heavy Traffic Conditions Using Cassava Peel Ash

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Sustainable paver blocks were developed using cassava peel ash and silane‐treated glass fibers. The optimized mix achieved superior strength, durability, and impact resistance, meeting IS 15658:2006 standards for heavy traffic. This eco‐friendly approach highlights an effective use of agro‐waste and fiber reinforcement for sustainable infrastructure ...

In Situ Raman Spectroscopy of a Silica Gel‐Templated Hydration Pathway in CO2‐Activated Cement

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates early‐age carbonate mineralization in cementitious systems using in situ Raman microspectroscopy. In the presence of dissolved CO2, clinker phases undergo accelerated dissolution, decomposing to form various calcium carbonate polymorphs and a transient amorphous silica gel network.

Chemical and Microstructural Evolution of Cement Pastes with Additives and SCMs During the First 24 h

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐age chemical evolution governs the development of hydrate assemblages and microstructure in cementitious systems, especially when additives and supplementary cementitious materials are incorporated. This study investigates the first 24 h of hydration in Portland cement pastes modified with selected additives and supplementary ...
