Abstract
Coal gasification slag is an excellent raw material for preparation of cementitious materials. Due to the addition of calcium-based additives, the content of non-free calcium in silicon/aluminum-rich coal gasification slag is relatively high. Thus, the influence of non-free calcium on leaching of elemental and formation mechanisms of cementitious phase were investigated by this paper. The results indicate that non-free calcium primarily disrupts the Al−O−Al bridges in the aluminosilicate glass phase, leading to decreased polymerization degree of slag. The compressive strength of cementitious materials is affected by alkali activation concentration and polymerization degree of slag. Under low-alkali conditions, as the calcium content in the gasification slag increases, the compressive strength of the cementitious material increases firstly and then decreases. Increased calcium promotes leaching of Al, however, large amounts of dissolved calcium tend to form cementitious phases and Ca(OH)2, which can hinder leaching of ions and formation of gel. In high-alkali environments, non-free calcium enhances the compressive strength of cementitious material. Glass phase in slag was destroyed by OH⁻, and leaching rates of Si and Al in slag with high-calcium increase, which lead to more C-A-S-H in cementitious material. Additionally, elevated alkalinity promotes the crystallization of sodium-minerals such as zeolites and sodalite.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
