Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T14:58:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 FaisyPPS_DISSERT_Capa_ate _pag30.pdf: 3190627 bytes, checksum: 6b8c39ddf6fc3949b555ea3b2beef8a3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-03-15 / The need to build durable structures and resistant to harsh environments enabled the development of high strength concrete, these activities generate a high cement consumption, which implies factor in CO2 emissions. Often the desired strength is not achieved using only the cement composition. This study aims to evaluate the influence of pozzolans with the addition of metakaolin on the physical mechanics of high strength concrete comparing them with the standard formulation. Assays were performed to characterize the aggregates according to NBR 7211, evaluation of cement and coarse aggregate through the trials of petrography (NBR 15577-3/08) and alkali-aggregate reaction (NBR 15577-05/08). Specimens were fabricated according to NBR 5738-1/04 with additions of 0%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of metakaolin for cement mortars CP V in the formulations. For evaluation of the concrete hardened in fresh state and scattering assays were performed and compressive strength in accordance with the NBR 7223/1992 and NBR 5739-8/94 respectively. The results of the characterization of aggregates showed good characteristics regarding size analysis and petrography, as well as potentially innocuous as the alkali-aggregate reaction. As to the test of resistance to compression, all the formulations with the addition of metakaolin showed higher value at 28 days of disruption compared with the standard formulation. These results present an alternative to reduce CO2 emissions, and improvements in the quality and durability of concrete, because the fine particle size of metakaolin provides an optimal compression of the mass directly influencing the strength and rheology of the dough / A necessidade de construir estruturas dur?veis e resistentes a ambientes agressivos proporcionou o desenvolvimento do concreto de alta resist?ncia, tais atividades geram um alto consumo de cimento, fator que implica na emiss?o CO2. Muitas vezes a resist?ncia desejada n?o ? atingida utilizando apenas o cimento na composi??o. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a influ?ncia das pozolanas com a adi??o de metacaulim nas caracter?sticas f?sico mec?nicas do concreto de alta resist?ncia comparando-as com a formula??o padr?o. Foram realizados ensaios de caracteriza??o dos agregados de acordo com a norma NBR 7211, avalia??o do cimento e agregado gra?do atrav?s dos ensaios de petrografia (NBR 15577 - 3/08) e rea??o alcali-agregado (NBR 15577-05/08). Foram confeccionados corpos de prova de acordo com a norma NBR 5738-1/04 com adi??es de 0%, 4%, 6%, 8% e 10% de metacaulim em substitui??o ao cimento CP V nas formula??es. Para avalia??o do concreto no estado fresco e endurecido foram realizados ensaios de espalhamento e resist?ncia ? compress?o de acordo com as normas NBR 7223/1992 e NBR 5739-8/94 respectivamente. Os resultados da caracteriza??o dos agregados apresentaram boas caracter?sticas quanto ? an?lise granulom?trica e petrografia, bem como potencialmente in?cuos quanto ? rea??o alcali-agregado. Quanto ao ensaio de resist?ncia ? compress?o, todas as formula??es com adi??o de metacaulim apresentaram valor superior aos 28 dias de ruptura quando comparadas com a formula??o padr?o. Estes resultados apresentam uma alternativa de redu??o da emiss?o de CO2, al?m de melhorias na qualidade e durabilidade do concreto, pois a fina granulometria do metacaulim proporciona uma ?tima compacta??o da massa influenciando diretamente na resist?ncia mec?nica e reologia da massa

Efeito de adições ativas na mitigação das reações álcali-sílica e álcali-silicato. / Effect of mineral admixtures in controlling the alkali-silica reaction and alkali-silicate reaction.

Flávio André da Cunha Munhoz 03 August 2007 (has links)
A reação álcali-agregado é uma manifestação patológica diretamente ligada à seleção dos materiais (cimento, agregados miúdo e graúdo, água e aditivos) que pode comprometer a durabilidade das estruturas de concreto, uma vez que a interação desses materiais e as condições ambientais é que vão conferir ao concreto determinadas propriedades ligadas à sua vida útil. A reação entre os hidróxidos alcalinos solubilizados na fase líquida dos poros dos concretos e alguns agregados reativos é lenta e resulta em um gel que, ao se acumular em vazios do concreto e na interface pasta-agregado, na presença de água, se expande, exercendo pressão interna no concreto. Ao exceder a resistência à tração do concreto, a pressão interna pode promover fissurações. A reação álcali-agregado requer a atuação conjunta de água, agregado reativo e álcalis. Sua prevenção pode ser feita a partir da eliminação de um dos fatores, ou seja, a partir do emprego de agregados inertes ou de cimentos com baixos teores de álcalis ou isolamento da umidade. Na impossibilidade de eliminar um dos fatores, medidas preventivas devem ser tomadas para o emprego de agregados reativos em obras de construção civil. Entre essas, destacam-se a utilização de cimentos com baixos teores de álcalis ou a de cimentos com adições ativas mitigadoras da reação álcali-agregado: escória de alto-forno, cinza volante, metacaulim e sílica ativa, que foi o objeto de pesquisa do presente trabalho. No programa experimental foram analisados dois tipos de agregado potencialmente reativos com os hidróxidos alcalinos: EDVDOWR e PLORQLWR_ JUDQtWLFR. O primeiro, proveniente de rocha ígnea, tem como constituintes deletérios vidro, clorofeíta, calcedônia (sílica criptocristalina), que dará origem à reação do tipo iOFDOL_VtOLFD. O agregado milonito granítico provém de rocha metamórfica, tem como constituintes deletérios quartzo microgranular, quartzo recristalizado, quartzo com extinção ondulante e quartzo e feldspato deformados, que dará origem ao tipo de reação iOFDOL_VLOLFDWR. Com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência de adições ativas em mitigar as reações, os agregados foram combinados com 16 cimentos com adições ativas. Escória de alto-forno foi adicionada a 15%, 30%, 45% e 60% e cinza volante, a 10%, 15%, 25% e 35%, teores normalmente encontrados nos cimentos brasileiros. Metacaulim foi adicionada a 5%, 10%, 15% e 20%, e sílica ativa, a 5%, 10% e 15%, teores representativos da faixa normalmente adicionada diretamente a concretos. Todos os materiais utilizados foram caracterizados química, física e mineralogicamente, incluindo a análise petrográfica dos agregados. As barras de argamassa foram analisadas ao MEV, microscópio óptico de luz transmitida, realizaram-se ensaios de porosimetria por intrusão de mercúrio e análises térmicas para quantificar a teor de portlandita residual, e determinou-se o teor de álcalis dentro das barras após a realização dos ensaios para verificar a migração de íons de sódio. Os resultados indicam que a eficiência das adições ativas varia de acordo com a composição química e mineralógica das adições, da proporção desse material no cimento, e do grau de reatividade do agregado. / The alkali-aggregate reaction is a pathologic manifestation that can induce the premature distress and loss in serviceability of concrete structures affected. It is directly associated to the selection of materials (cement, coarse and fine aggregates, water and additives), as the interaction between these materials and environmental condition will grant the concrete some of the properties related to its service life. The slow reaction between alkali hydroxides soluble in the liquid phase within concrete pores and reactive aggregates gives rise to a gel that piles up within concrete voids and the aggregate-paste interface. In presence of water, the gel expands and exerts internal pressure in the concrete. When the internal pressure exceeds the tensile strength, cracking may come up as result. The alkali-aggregate reaction requires the action of water, reactive aggregate and alkalis altogether. Prevention can be carried out by eliminating one of these factors, i.e. employing either inert aggregates or lowalkali cements, or keeping the concrete away from moisture. Otherwise, preventive measures must be taken when reactive aggregates are used in civil construction works, such as the use of low-alkali cements or composite cements bearing alkaliaggregate- reaction mitigating admixtures: blast-furnace slag, fly ash, metakaolin and silica fume, which are the object of the present research. The experimental work included the analysis of two potentially reactive aggregates to alkali hydroxides: basalt and granite milonite. The igneous basalt carries deleterious constituents such as glass, chloropheite (cryptocrystalline silica), that will give rise to the DONDOL_VLOLFD type reaction while the metamorphic granite milonite carries micro granular, recrystallized, undulate-extinction-bearing quartz and deformed feldspar grains, that give rise to DONDOL_VLOLFDWH type reaction. Aiming at evaluating how efficient in mitigating these reactions the active admixtures are, these aggregates were mixed with 16 composite cements. The contents of admixtures followed those usually found in Brazilian industrial cements for blast-furnace slag (15%, 30%, 45%, 60%) and fly ash (10%, 15%, 25%, 35%), and those generally added directly to concrete for metakaolin (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) and silica fume (5%, 10%, 15%). All materials were characterized for their chemical composition, physical properties and mineralogy. Petrography was carried out on the aggregates. The mortar bars were analyzed at the scanning electronic and transmitted-light optical microscopes. Mercury-intrusion porosimetry and thermal analyses were carried out to quantify residual portlandite. The alkali content within the bars was determined in order to verify migration of Na+ ions. The results show that the efficiency of active admixtures varies according to their chemical and mineralogical composition and proportioning in cement, and to the aggregate reactivity.

The mesoporous materials Al-MCM-41 produced from kaolin, low cost raw material, by means of hydrothermal acid treatment route, has shown potential for being used as adsorbent in removal process of methylene blue. The process of synthesis of Al-MCM-41 is based on calcination of kaolin, dealumination by acid treatment, hydrothermal synthesis and extraction of the surfactant. The characterization of de obtained mesoporous material was carried out by techniques such as: X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy in the infrared, 29Si and 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance in the solid state, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption/desorption. The X-ray diffraction at low angles allowed the determination of the cell parameter, which was 4.02 nm. The analyses of scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed important morphological properties of the synthesized material. N2 adsorption/desorption showed a BET specific surface area of 1,303 m2 g-1, pore volume of 1.23 cm3 g-1 and average diameter of 2.45 nm. PZC measurements showed a pHPZC of 2.69. The adsorption of methylene blue by Al-MCM-41 adsorbent showed high kinetic and high adsorption capacity, with values around 316 mg g-1. / O material mesoporoso Al-MCM-41 produzido a partir de caulim, matÃria-prima de baixo custo, por meio de rota hidrotÃrmica com tratamento Ãcido, mostrou-se promissor para ser usado como adsorvente do corante azul de metileno. O processo de sÃntese da Al-MCM-41 Ã baseado na calcinaÃÃo do caulim, desaluminizaÃÃo por tratamento Ãcido, sÃntese hidrotÃrmica e eliminaÃÃo do surfactante. A caracterizaÃÃo do material mesoporoso foi realizada por meio de tÃcnicas como: difraÃÃo de raios-X, espectroscopia vibracional na regiÃo do infravermelho, ressonÃncia magnÃtica nuclear no estado sÃlido de 29Si e 27Al, microscopia eletrÃnica de varredura, microscopia eletrÃnica de transmissÃo e adsorÃÃo de N2. A anÃlise de difraÃÃo de raios-X em baixo Ãngulo da Al-MCM-41 permitiu a determinaÃÃo do parÃmetro de cÃlula que apresentou valor de 4,02 nm. As anÃlises de microscopia eletrÃnica de varredura e de transmissÃo revelaram importantes propriedades morfolÃgicas do material sintetizado.

Selmani, Samira 01 June 2015 (has links)
Ce travail est basé sur la synthèse d’un liant aluminosilicaté de type géopolymère à partir de différentes argiles tunisiennes. Afin de comprendre les mécanismes de géopolymérisation, une première étape a concerné la caractérisation des matières premières argileuses par différentes méthodes d’analyses ainsi que leur comportement vis-à-vis du traitement thermique. La faisabilité des matériaux consolidés a été étudiée afin de comprendre le rôle des minéraux associés et la granulométrie de l’argile, en présence d’une solution de référence et de sources aluminosilicatées connues, sur les produits synthétisés. Afin d’identifier le rôle de la solution alcaline, de nouvelles formulations ont été élaborées et comparées aux précédentes en présence des argiles tunisiennes. Plusieurs techniques ont été réalisées pour évaluer les matériaux au cours de leur formation par spectroscopie infrarouge et après consolidation par diffraction des rayons X, microscopie électronique à balayage et analyse thermique. Leurs propriétés mécaniques ont été testées par compression. / This work is based on the synthesis of geopolymers from different Tunisian clays. In order to understand the geoplymerization mechanisms two steps are established. The first is relate to the characterization of the raw clays materials through different analyzes and their behavior with thermal treatment. The second involve around the study of geopolymers feasibility in order to understand the role of associated minerals and particle size, in the presence of a reference solution and aluminosilicate sources, on the synthesized products. To identify the role of the alkaline solution, new formulations have been developed and compared with previous one in the presence of Tunisian clays. Several techniques are used to characterize the materials during their formation: Infrared Spectroscopy, X ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis and Thermal analysis. Their mechanical properties were tested by compression.

Binární alkalicky aktivované kompozitní materiály s cihelným prachem / Binary alkali-activated composite materials with brick powder

Mizerová, Cecílie January 2018 (has links)
The thesis is focused on the application of brick powder in production of binary alkali-activated binders with metakaolin, slag and fly ash. The theoretical part summarizes recent fields of use of the ceramic waste in construction and binder industry and prerequisite properties of the brick powder for alkaline activation. Brick powder based geopolymers made in the experimental work were tested for their mechanical properties, porosity and microstructure, flow properties of the fresh geopolymers were evaluated by rheometric measurements. In accordance with the results it can be concluded that brick powder could be a suitable precursor for blended binders with metakaolin and slag, these samples exhibited good mechanical properties and microstructure characteristics. The combination with fly ash was less applicable due to a rapid setting, hardening retarder used in these binders caused significant deterioration of the mechanical properties of the material.

Halasová, Kristýna January 2017 (has links)
Geopolymers are amorphous to semi-crystalline aluminosilicate polymers which are formed from inorganic polycondensation reaction of a solid aluminosilicate precursor with an alkaline sodium hydroxide or silicate. The resulting materials exhibit high durability, resistance to aggressive environments, high temperature resistance and many other properties that make them have received much attention in recent years, not only in construction. This thesis describes the influence of additives commonly used in concrete and mortar (water reducing, superplasticizer, air-entraining, foamer and defoamer, anti-shrinkage, stabilization) on the behavior of metakaolin in geopolymer fresh and hardened state. It describes metakaolin geopolymer effect on rheological properties of fresh mixtures, compressive strength and flexural strength after 28 days and a density in the fresh and hardened state.

Aplikace metakaolinu v žárovzdorných materiálech / Application of metakaolin in refractory materials

Tvrdík, Lukáš January 2016 (has links)
Refractory materials are irreplaceable in all industrial fields where it is necessary to use high temperatures. This paper deals with the use of metakaolin in refractory materials that allows the operation of such facilities. In recent decades has the development made significant progress in quality parametres, which extended life period of refractory materials in their use and significantly decreased the specific consumption of refractory materials in various technologies. This phenomenon is also called "harakiri effect". At the same time a constant pressure to the lowest prices of products is on the refractory market. Metakaolin seems to be appropriate raw material, which may help to achieve interesting qualitative effects. It may affect many properties of the influence on the behavior of materials during processing, through physico-mechanical parameters and dipping to the economic efficiency of production.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Moisés Mário Cachepa_.pdf: 3004067 bytes, checksum: 24c7ce290fa414a34e3454c918c0403c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-05-22 / CNPQ – Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O uso de adições minerais, como as pozolanas, tem sido adotado como adição ou substituição parcial do cimento, fundamentalmente na produção de concretos, com intuito de melhorar algumas das características, tais como redução de calor de hidratação, melhoria da trabalhabilidade, aumento da resistência à compressão, aumento da durabilidade em meios agressivos, redução da emissão de CO2, redução do aparecimento de eflorescência. Um sério problema de durabilidade é a reação álcali-agregado (RAA), que é um fenômeno que em geral se manifestam em estruturas de concreto massa, como barragens. A RAA é entendida como sendo um processo químico que ocorre em concreto, em que alguns constituintes mineralógicos presentes no agregado reagem com íons alcalinos, provenientes de hidróxidos originados na hidratação do cimento que estão dissolvidos na solução dos poros, formando um gel higroscópico expansivo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a mitigação da reação álcali-agregado em concreto mediante o emprego de resíduos da cerâmica vermelha (RCV) e metacaulim (MK) como pozolanas. O RCV foi adquirido como resíduo de indústria da produção de blocos cerâmicos, enquanto que o MK é um produto comercializado, sabidamente mitigador da RAA e, geralmente, com elevada atividade pozolânica. Para se alcançar o objetivo, foram analisadas as características físicas, químicas, mineralógicas do RCV e do MK, e determinou-se o índice da atividade pozolânica. Tanto o RCV como o MK apresentaram índice de atividade pozolânica superior a 90%. O agregado utilizado foi classificado como potencialmente reativo por meio de análise de petrografia e do método acelerado de barras de argamassa. Para avaliação da eficiência das adições minerais na mitigação da RAA, empregou-se o método acelerado de barras de argamassa. As pozolanas isoladas e combinadas foram empregadas em teores de substituição de cimento de 20% e 30%. Avaliou-se também resistência à compressão e absorção capilar de água em 48h e 28 dias, submetidos à solução saturada de em Ca(OH)2; e em 28 dias de imersão em solução de NaOH. Com os resultados de expansão, foi possível verificar que todos os materiais e teores propostos promoveram uma mitigação da RAA em relação às amostras confeccionadas somente com cimento, com valores de expansão inferiores a 0,10%. Para os aglomerantes estudados, foi possível verificar que entre as pozolanas, quanto menor o equivalente alcalino, menores são as expansões. No entanto, as misturas somente com MK apresentam valores de equivalente alcalino similares ao cimento e as expansões são significativamente reduzidas. Para uma mesma relação Ca/Si dos aglomerantes, quanto maior for o teor de RCV menor é a expansão. Quando se avalia o teor de alumina dos aglomerantes, percebe-se que aqueles que contém MK apresentam o maior teor, mas, no entanto, não retornam as menores expansões, o que se explica pela sua maior dimensão média equivalente, em relação aos aglomerantes que contém RCV. A menor dimensão das partículas de RCV parecem aumentar o efeito mitigador que o teor de Al possui, pois a superfície de dissolução destas partículas é maior. A comparação dos resultados da resistência à compressão e absorção de água antes de iniciar o ensaio acelerado e após, bem como a comparação com as argamassas aos 28 dias que não sofreram ataques ajudam a enteder o comportamento das pozolanas na mitigação da RAA. / The use of mineral additions through pozzolans, both naturally and artificially, has been adopted by several civil engineering professionals through the partial substitution of cement primarily in the production of concrete slabs, with the aim of improving some of the characteristics such as: Reduction of the heat of hydration, improvement of the workability, increase of the resistance to compressive strength, increase of the durability in aggressive environments, reduction of the emission of CO2, reduction of the appearance of efflorescence and reduction of the expansions due to the alkali-aggregate reactions. One of the pathologies that greatly affects mass concrete structures such as dams is the alkali-aggregate reaction, which is understood to be a chemical process occurring in concrete, in which some mineralogical constituents present in the aggregate react with hydroxides from the cement that are dissolved In the solution of the pores forming an expansive hygroscopic gel. The elaboration of this work, on the one hand, was motivated by the fact that one of the main dams in Africa located in Mozambique, shows signs of expansion according to several authors and, on the other hand, as a way of evaluating the Pozolan potential of RCV and MK. This work aimed to evaluate the mitigation of the alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete through the use of residues of red ceramics and metakaolin as pozzolans. The RCV was purchased as a waste from the production of ceramic blocks, while the MK was from a commercial product. In order to reach the objective, the RCV and MK underwent an investigation taking into account physical, chemical, mineralogical characteristics and the determination of the index of the pozzolanic activity. Both RCV and MK had pozzolanic activity index higher than the 90% established by NBR 12653 (2014). The aggregate used was classified as potentially reactive through analyzes of petrography, DRX, FRX and accelerated method of mortar bars. For the evaluation of RAA, samples were prepared and analyzes of aggregate reactivity and mineral additions efficiency were performed using the accelerated method of mortar bars, compressive strength and water capillary absorption in a substitution of 20% and 30% of cement by RCV, MK and RCV + MK, in the following curing ages: 48h, 28 days in Ca (OH) 2 and 28 days of immersion in NaOH solution. By the expansion results, it was possible to verify that all materials and cement substitution contents by pozzolans proposed had a reduction of less than 0.10% recommended by ASTM C1567 (2013), classified as insufficient to cause deleterious reactions due to potential Pozolânico of the MK and RCV. It was possible to verify that the higher the alkaline equivalent, the larger the expansions, the smaller the Ca / Si ratio, the smaller the expansions, the higher the alumina content, the smaller the expansions, the smaller the average equivalent size Of the particles, the smaller the expansions, and the larger the total porosity, the larger the expansions. The results of the compressive strength and water absorption showed that the mixtures submitted to the accelerated test presented worse performance in relation to the cured mixtures in Ca (OH) 2 due to the microstructure of the mortars, creating internal microcracks, or because the formed gel permeable to water penetration.

Based on these, this study set out to study self-compacting lightweight concrete made with two distinct grades of expanded clay associated with the addition of plasticizing/superplasticizers additives and mineral additions of metakaolin and bagasse ash of sugar cane. There is also an object of study, evaluation of pozzolanic activity of mineral admixtures and their influence on the durability characteristics of concrete. The rheological, physical, mechanical and microstructural analysis in this study served as basis in the classification of concretes autoadens?veis, targeting the national technical requirements for their classification in the category autoadens?vel and lightweight structural. The inclusion of mineral admixtures (metakaolin and bagasse ash of sugar cane), partial replacement of cement, pozzolanic activity and demonstrated maintenance of mechanical properties through the filler effect, a reduction of up to 76% of the nitrogen gas permeability in blend with 20% bagasse ash.
