Abstract

Cement production causes serious environmental problems and requires large amounts of energy. Studies have proven that the use of geopolymers can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emission and energy consumption arisen from cement production. Although there are many studies on the geopolymers, the number of studies dealing with geopolymers containing natural pozzolans other than metakaolin is very limited. In this study, the compressive strength and pore structure of geopolymers produced with trass (a type of natural pozzolan) were investigated. The mineralogical composition of trass, morphology of trass, and microstructure of geopolymer paste as well as the weight loss of the paste were determined using XRD, SEM, and TGA examinations, respectively. Moreover, the pore size distribution of the paste mixtures was obtained with Micro-CT analysis. The trass was used both in the natural form and after calcining at 550 °C for 6 h. The strength of geopolymer mortars produced with calcined trass, cured at 90 °C for 24 and 96 h, was found to be 86.7% and 81.6% higher than that of their counterparts containing natural trass. In addition, calcination of the trass resulted in 12.8–22.9% reduction in the porosity of geopolymer paste, compared to that of the paste containing natural trass. In XRD and TGA investigations, it was determined that the trass calcination performed at 550 °C did not make a significant change in the paste crystal structure and the weight loss-temperature graphs. SEM images proved that the reactivity of trass in geopolymerization increased with calcination and the matrix structure became denser and more homogeneous.

废石煅烧对地聚合物混合物性能的影响
水泥生产造成了严重的环境问题,并且需要大量的能源。研究证明,使用地聚合物可以显著减少水泥生产过程中产生的二氧化碳排放和能源消耗。虽然对地聚合物的研究很多,但对含偏高岭土以外的天然火山灰的地聚合物的研究非常有限。在这项研究中,研究了由垃圾(一种天然火山灰)制成的地聚合物的抗压强度和孔隙结构。采用XRD、SEM、TGA等测试手段分别测定了土聚合物膏体的矿物学组成、形貌和微观结构,并测定了膏体的失重率。此外,通过Micro-CT分析获得了膏体混合物的孔径分布。采用自然形态和550℃煅烧6 h后的土聚合物砂浆,经90℃煅烧24 h和96 h的土聚合物砂浆强度分别比含自然形态土聚合物砂浆高86.7%和81.6%。此外,与含天然垃圾的膏体相比,经垃圾煅烧后的地聚合物膏体孔隙率降低了12.8-22.9%。在XRD和TGA的研究中,确定了在550℃下进行的焙烧对膏体的晶体结构和失重温度图没有明显的影响。SEM图像表明,随着煅烧,土聚合反应活性增强,基质结构更加致密、均匀。
