The Impact

At the beginning of 2016, the legislation for regulating and reducing the emission of exhaust gases with regard to reducing nitrogen oxides came into force. The articles published to date point to the possibility of increased ammonium salt content in fly ash that has undergone a selective non-catalytic reduction process. This paper addresses other possible negative impacts of the reduction process for nitrogen oxide on the physico-mechanical properties of high-temperature fly ash, especially the morphology of its grains and its impact on the rheology of the composite and the impact on the efficiency index.

This study was conducted to compare the mechanical properties of fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregates with natural aggregate (rock) in term of its impact strength, specific gravity and water absorption.The raw materials used were fly ash, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and natural aggregate. After the artificial geopolymer aggregate has been produced, its water absorption, specific gravity and aggregate impact test has been done. All results obtained were compared to natural aggregate. The result shows that the fly ash geopolymer aggregate are lighter than natural aggregate in term of its specific gravity. The impact value for fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregate slightly high compared to natural aggregate while it has high water absorption value compared to natural aggregate. As conclusion, the fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregate can be used as one of the construction materials in concrete as an alternative for coarse aggregate besides natural aggregate with more lightweight properties.

Desulfurization building gypsum was used as the main gelled material and fly ash was used as filler to prepare the new type desulfurization gypsum block. the mechanical properties of the new type desulfurization gypsum block was improved by adding compound excitation agent into the desulphurization gypsum-fly ash cementing material to stimulate its activity. The water resistant performance of the new type desulfurization gypsum block was improved through adding wax-alcohol compound waterproofing agent into it. Experimental results show that when the filling amount of fly ash was 20%(the quality of desulfurization gypsum), the impact on the strength of gypsum was minimal; when the dosage of compound excitation agent was 1.75%, the excitation effect of desulphurization gypsum-fly ash cementing material was best; when the dosage of wax-alcohol compound waterproofing agent was 0.4%, the water resistance of new desulfurization gypsum block was optimal.

To improve the impact of fly ash on the properties of cement-fly ash stabilized crushed stone, and promote it popularize and apply better. This paper investigated the effect of fly ash content on unconfined compressive strength, cleavage strength and resilient modulus of cement-fly ash stabilized crushed stones, and those relationships between mechanical parameters. The results showed that with increasing of the fly ash content, the unconfined compressive strength and cleavage strength increased at first, then decreased, the resilient modulus decreased, and The brittleness index increased. We can conclude that the optimal fly ash content is between 10% and 15%, and increment of fly ash content can improve its crack-resistance.

The Impact

After introducing SNCR in coal combustion process in power plants, the valuable by-product such as fly ash remains contaminated with amount of ammonia in form of NH4HSO4, (NH4)2SO4 respectively, which became undesirable in AAC technology because the toxic ammonia is released in the air during the mixing process. This paper deals with the effect of varying ammonia content in fly ash after selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) on the physical-mechanical properties of the fly ash based autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) with the main focus on determination of the impact of the various content of ammonium ion in fly ash on the initial consistency of fresh slurry, the residual content of ammonium ion in hardened aerated matrix and also the impact on the bulk density, compressive strength and tobermorite formation after hydrothermal treatment. Seven batches of AAC, made out of fly ash with rising content of ammonium ion from 0 ppm to 250 ppm, were tested and based on the results obtained it was found out that ammonia is released during the mixing process entirely and doesn‘t remain in AAC after autoclaving, moreover it doesn‘t affect the properties of both fresh slurry (no apparent foaming effect noticed) and thermally treated samples of AAC. Formation of tobermorite wasn’t negatively affected.

The Impact

In this study, the effect of adding nano-silica (NS) particles on the properties of concrete containing coal fly ash were explored, including the mechanical properties, impact resistance, chloride penetration resistance, and freezing–thawing resistance. The NS particles were added into the concrete at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% of the binder weight. The behavior under an impact load was measured using a drop weight impact method, and the number of blows and impact energy difference was used to assess the impact resistance of the specimens. The durability of the concrete includes its chloride penetration and freezing–thawing resistance; these were calculated based on the chloride diffusion coefficient and relative dynamic elastic modulus (RDEM) of the samples after the freezing–thawing cycles, respectively. The experimental results showed that the addition of NS can considerably improve the mechanical properties of concrete, along with its freezing–thawing resistance and chloride penetration resistance. When NS particles were added at different replacement levels, the compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths of the specimens were increased by 15.5%, 27.3%, and 19%, respectively, as compared with a control concrete. The addition of NS enhanced the impact resistance of the concrete, although the brittleness characteristics of the concrete did not change. When the content of the NS particles was 2%, the number of first crack impacts reached a maximum of 37, 23.3% higher compared with the control concrete. Simultaneously, the chloride penetration resistance and freezing–thawing resistance of the samples increased dramatically. The optimal level of cement replacement by NS in concrete for achieving the best impact resistance and durability was 2–3 wt%. It was found that when the percentage of the NS in the cement paste was excessively high, the improvement from adding NS to the properties of the concrete were reduced, and could even lead to negative impacts on the impact resistance and durability of the concrete.

Geopolymer Composites

Efflorescence is one of the limitations of the widespread use of geopolymers. This problem is caused by excess unreacted sodium oxide remaining inside materials. Unreacted sodium oxide creates white efflorescence on the surface of the produced material in the form of sodium carbonate heptahydrate Na2CO3∙ 7H2O. It decreases not only the aesthetic value of the final products, but also the mechanical properties of the material. The aim of this article is to analyse the influence of the curing method on the appearance of efflorescence on geopolymer composites reinforced by short basalt, especially on mechanical properties. Class F fly ash from the ‘Skawina’ coal-fired power plant (located in Skawina, Lesser Poland, Poland) was used as raw material for the geopolymerization process. The article compares two methods of curing: typical laboratory conditions (in the air) and samples submerged in water. Three series of fly ash-based geopolymer were cast: basalt fibres were added as 1% and 2% by weight of fly ash and one control series without any fibres. The investigation was performed using visual analysis, including microstructure investigation, and the testing of mechanical properties (compressive strength at ambient temperature) after 28 days.

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.
