By testing flexural and compressive strength at different ages, the influence of particle size distribution of slag and fly ash on the strength of LCC (low clinker cement) were systematically studied. The SEM (scanning electron microscope) and laser particle size analyzer were used to study the multi-component cementitious and dense-packing effects of LCC. The results show that the strength development of LCC4 with 30% clinker could completely meet the requirements of P.O 42.5R by varying the type, content or fineness of admixtures; based on a higher fly ash and lower clinker dosage, the strength development of LCC9 is also relatively good.

This study aims to model grinding of a Polish ferronickel slag and evaluate the particle size distributions (PSDs) of the products obtained after different grinding times. Then, selected products were alkali activated in order to investigate the effect of particle size on the compressive strength of the produced alkali activated materials (AAMs). Other parameters affecting alkali activation, i.e., temperature, curing, and ageing time were also examined. Among the different mathematical models used to simulate the particle size distribution, Rosin–Rammler (RR) was found to be the most suitable. When piecewise regression analysis was applied to experimental data it was found that the particle size distribution of the slag products exhibits multifractal character. In addition, grinding of slag exhibits non-first-order behavior and the reduction rate of each size is time dependent. The grinding rate and consequently the grinding efficiency increases when the particle size increases, but drops sharply near zero after prolonged grinding periods. Regarding alkali activation, it is deduced that among the parameters studied, particle size (and the respective specific surface area) of the raw slag product and curing temperature have the most noticeable impact on the compressive strength of the produced AAMs.
