Abstract
The production of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement using hazardous wastes can enhance its sustainability and economic benefits. Incorporating Fe2O3 into ye'elimite can reduce the Al2O3 demand in waste-based CSA cement, while the influence of alkalinity modulus (Cm) on this incorporation remains unclear. This study synthesised CSA cement clinker from hazardous wastes with varying Cm. Results show that forming inert phases like C2AS and Fe2SiO4 hinders the synthesis of hydraulically active minerals, requiring a higher Cm of 1.10 to attain the highest 28-day compressive strength of 76.4 MPa. Additionally, increasing Cm reduces the Fe/(Al + Fe) ratio in ye'elimite, particularly in low-aluminium clinkers. This contributes to the transformation of C4A3-o to C4A3-c and the slowed hydration. However, facilitated ye'elimite formation under higher Cm and increased Al2O3 content in feedstock leads to more Fe2O3 being incorporated into ye'elimite. This study provides guidance on regulating Fe2O3 incorporation in the production of waste-based CSA cement clinker.
