Fixace olova v alkalicky aktivovaných materiálech na bázi různých typů popílků / Fixation of the lead in alkali activated materials based on different types of ashesCába, Vladislav January 2020 (has links)
The aim of this work was to develop an alkali activated matrix based mainly on fly ash, to determine the ability to fix lead in these matrices, the impact of added lead on mechanical properties and to reveal the way of lead fixation in these matrices. The matrices consisted mainly of fly ash (four from fluidized bed combustion, one pulverized coal combustion) with an admixture of blast furnace slag and sodium silicate as an activator. Lechates were prepared on the basis of the ČSN EN - 12457-4 standard, lead concentrations in them were measured using an atomic emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma. The strengths of the samples were measured after 28 days. Images, element maps and element spectra were taken to determine the structure using a scanning electron microscope with an electron dispersion spectrometer, the samples were analyzed on an infrared spectrometer with a Furier transform, X-ray diffraction analysis and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis were also used. The individual measurements showed that lead is accumulated in the form of hydroxide. The impact of lead doping on strength of the matrix was different for individual samples. Matrices from both types of fly ash released minimal amounts of lead into leachates, so it is possible to use them to fixate lead.

Alkali activated binders have the potential to become an alternative construction material to ordinary portland cement binders. This thesis concentrates on durability testing of alkali activated blast furnace slag and fly ash based concrete. The chosen aspects of durability included sulfate resistance, acid resistance, carbonation, freeze-thaw resistance, frost-salt resistance and porosity. Microstructural changes and formation of new crystalline phases were observed using XRD and SEM-EDX analysis. Potential application of the tested material from the durability point of view was evaluated by comparison with a reference ordinary portland cement based concrete.

Vláknové kompozity s alkalicky aktivovanou struskovou matricí / Fibre coposites with alkali -activated slag matrixPluskalová, Barbora January 2015 (has links)
This master thesis is concerns the preparation of Alkali Activated Materials, specifically Alkali Activated Slag (AAS), with the addition of fiber reinforcement. Alkali Activated Materials have great potential for use in construction practice. However, their use is limited by certain undesirable properties, which can be diminished by adding fiber reinforcement. This thesis deals with the influence of carbon fibers (2 % by weight of the binder) and carbon nanotubes (0,2 % by weigh of the binder) on the mechanical properties, microstructure and shrinkage of AAS. The results of the experiments which were carried out correspond with the literary research. Conclusions of this thesis agree with research published in original scientific papers.

Development of Alkali-Activated Binders froRecycled Mixed Masonry-originated WasteYildirim, Gurkan, Kul, A., Özçelikci, E., Sahmaran, M., Aldemir, A., Figueira, D., Ashour, Ashraf 24 July 2020 (has links)
Yes / In this study, the main emphasis is placed on the development and characterization of alkali-activated binders completely produced by the use of mixed construction and demolition waste (CDW)-based masonry units as aluminosilicate precursors. Combined usage of precursors was aimed to better simulate the real-life cases since in the incident of construction and demolition, these wastes are anticipated to be generated collectively. As different masonry units, red clay brick (RCB), hollow brick (HB) and roof tile (RT) were used in binary combinations by 75-25%, 50-50% and 25-75% of the total weight of the binder. Mixtures were produced with different curing temperature/periods and molarities of NaOH solution as the alkaline activator. Characterization was made by the compressive strength measurements supported by microstructural investigations which included the analyses of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX). Results clearly showed that completely CDW-based masonry units can be effectively used collectively in producing alkali-activated binders having up to 80 MPa compressive strength provided that the mixture design parameters are optimized. Among different precursors utilized, HB seems to contribute more to the compressive strength. Irrespective of their composition, main reaction products of alkali-activated binders from CDW-based masonry units are sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N-A-S-H) gels containing different zeolitic polytypes with structure ranging from amorphous to polycrystalline.

APPLICATION OF CELLULOSE BASED NANOMATERIALS IN 3D-PRINTED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITESFahim, Abdullah Al, 0009-0005-7301-4256 12 1900 (has links)
With the rapid development of concrete 3D printing for construction projects, it is crucial to produce sustainable 3D-printed cementitious composites that meet the required fresh and hardened properties. This study investigates the application of cellulose-based nanomaterials (CN) (i.e., abundant natural polymers) that can improve the mechanical properties of cement-based materials – in 3D-printed cementitious composites of ordinary portland cement (OPC) and alkali-activated materials (AAMs). A combination of low calcium fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag was used as the precursor in AAM systems. This work examines the 3D-printed mixtures with varying binders and mixture proportions and with different dosages of cellulose-based nanomaterial known as cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to optimize the formulation for the production of sustainable high-performance 3D-printed elements. A suite of experimental techniques was applied to study the impact of CNC on the fresh and hardened properties of the 3D-printed samples. The buildability of the alkali-activated mixtures was improved by increasing the CNC content, suggesting that the CNC performs as a viscosity-modifying agent in AAMs. The inclusion of CNCs up to 1.00% (by volume of the binder) improves the overall mechanical performance and reduces the porosity of 3D-printed OPC and heat-cured AAM samples. Further, the addition of CNC (up to 0.30%) in sealed-cured AAM samples improves their flexural strength due to the crack-bridging mechanism of CNCs. The addition of CNC densifies the microstructure of OPC samples by increasing the degree of hydration, however, no significant impact on the microstructure of AAMs is noticed. The OPC sample with CNC has approximately 25% increase in the degree of hydration at inner depths which can be attributed to the internal curing potential of CNC materials. The initial water absorption rate of heat-cured AAM samples is lower than the sealed-cured AAM samples and comparable to the OPC system. The developed printable “alkali-activated-CNC” composites can provide an overall reduction in the environmental impacts of the 3D-printed cementitious composites by eliminating/reducing the need for different chemical admixtures to improve 3D-printed material consistency and stability, and replacing 100% of portland cement with fly ash and slag. / Civil Engineering

Vývoj přísad redukující smrštění navržených pro alkalicky aktivované materiály / Development of shrinkage reducing admixtures designed for alkali activated materialsŠístková, Pavlína January 2018 (has links)
This thesis deals with development of shrinkage reducing admixtures designed for alkali activated materials based on blast furnace slag. The main task of this work is to select the most suitable shrinkage reducing admixture based on experiments, in which can be observed minimal shrinkage and at the same time it will not adversely affect the properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag. In the experimental part of the work, test beams containing shrinkage reducing admixtures were prepared, in which the shrinkage and loss of weight were measured. Moreover, the mechanical properties of individual beams, such as tensile strength and compressive strength, were measured. Next, the surface tension of individual shrinkage reducing admixtures was measured in a mixture with pore solution. The hydration process of alkali activated materials under the action of reducing shrinkage admixtures was monitored by calorimetric analysis. The microstructure of the prepared samples was observed by scanning electron microscopy.

Studium účinnosti plastifikačních přísad v souvislosti s povrchovou chemií systému alkalicky aktivované strusky / On the efficiency of plasticizing admixtures in alkali-activated slag based systemFlídrová, Michaela January 2021 (has links)
Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are construction materials with great potential, especially for their environmental friendliness, but also due to their mechanical properties. Therefore, it is appropriate to pay further attention to these binders. This diploma thesis deals with monitoring the effectiveness of plasticizers in connection with the surface chemistry of the alkali-activated slag system. Sodium hydroxide and sodium water glass were used as alkaline activators for the preparation of alkali-activated blast furnace slag-based systems. To study the effectiveness of the lignosulfonate plasticizer, yield stress, heat flow, adsorption and zeta potential were monitored depending on the amount and time that the plasticizer was added to the system. The results show that the type of activator used in the mixtures plays an important role. NaOH-activated samples revealed the best efficiency of lignosulfonate plasticizers. A key factor in studying the behavior of the studied mixtures was the measurement of the zeta potential, which provided insight into the surface charge of blast furnace slag particles related to the ability of lignosulfonate to adsorb on grains of alkali-activated slag.

Účinek plastifikátorů na chování a vlastnosti alkalicky aktivovaných materiálů / Effect of plasticizers on the behaviour and properties of alkali activated materialsLangová, Markéta January 2017 (has links)
Alkali activated materials could be suitable alternative to construction materials based on ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Therefore, it is advisable to pursue these binders further on. Aim of this thesis is to clarify the effect of lignosulfonate-based plasticizer and polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer on the behaviour and nature of alkali activated materials. For the purposes of studying the efficiency of plasticizing additives, the change of workability of alkali activated blast furnace slag in dependence on time, effect of additives on mechanical properties as well as, with usage of isothermal calorimetry, their impact on kinetics of solidification and hardening had been observed. The stability of the plasticizing admixtures in a high alkaline environment such as water glass and sodium hydroxide had been studied using infrared spectrometry. As a last step, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) had been used while clarifying the chemical changes in the structure of plasticizing additives after adsorption to blast furnace slag.

Mechanical activation of clay : a novel route to sustainable cementitious bindersTole, Ilda January 2019 (has links)
EU Sustainable Development Strategy planned to achieve improvement of life-quality by promoting sustainable production and consumption of raw materials. On November 2018, EU Commission presented a long-term strategy, aiming among others a climate-neutral economy by 2050. Cement production is contributing to 6-10% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Thus, several strategies for total or partial replacement of Portland cement in concrete production have been developed. The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and alkali-activated materials (AAM) is considered the most efficient countermeasure to diminish CO2 emissions. The broadening of knowledge with particular attention to the sustainable goals is the primary requirement to be fulfilled when novel materials are investigated. This study aims to develop a novel clay-based binder that can be used as a sustainable alternative to produce SCM as well as AAM. Clay is a commonly occurring material, with large deposits worldwide. However, natural clay has a low reactivity and various compositions, depending, e.g. on the weathering conditions. The present research aims exactly at enhancing the reactivity of natural clays occurring in Sweden subjecting them to mechanical activation in a planetary ball mill. Ball milling (BM) is considered a clean technology able to enhance the reactivity of crystalline materials without resorting to high processing temperatures or additional chemicals. BM was able to induce amorphization in clay minerals and to transform the layered platy morphology to spherical shape particles. The efficiency of the process was strictly related to the used process parameters. Higher ball to processed powder (B/P) ratio, longer time of grinding and higher grinding speeds increased the degree of the obtained amorphization. However, an undesired extensive caking and agglomeration occurred in certain setups. The potential of activated clay as a SCM was investigated in specific case studies. The measured compressive strength results showed a direct correlation between the enhanced amorphization degree of the mechanically activated clay and the increased strength values. The pozzolanic activity was induced and enhanced after the mechanical activation of the clay. The reactivity was assessed by the strength activity index (SAI). Furthermore, preliminary tests have shown that the alkali activation of the processed clays produced solidified matrixes with considerable strength.
