The influence of the alkaline component on the physico-mechanical properties and the structure of the clinkerless waterproof composition on the basis of Kryvyi Rih blast furnace slag and an alkaline component – sodium hydroxide – have been investigated. High and very high correlation between the compressive strength f of the composition and the alkali – sodium hydroxide – strength A/S has been established. The dependence f on A/S has an extreme wave-like pattern with maxima at A/S = 1.5% and 15-20%, which is explained by the formation of one and two series of hydration products between slag particles similarly to Portland cement-based compositions. It has been established that the hydration products of the composition are predominantly gel-like one, such as hydrosilicate gel and zeolite-like sodium calcium hydroalumosilicates; fewer crystalline hydration products include prismatic and needle-like crystals of complex salts of aluminate phases. The pore size in the composition structure mostly does not exceed 2 microns, although single pores up to 10 microns in size also occur.

In this study, the micromechanical response of two cementitious composites was characterized by nanoindentation. Pure Portland cement paste and Portland cement with 50 vol. % replaced with granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) paste were investigated at the age of 28 days. Grid nanoindentation, statistical deconvolution and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the main hydration products. Several grids with approximately 500 indents on each sample were performed to obtain modulus of elasticity, hardness and creep indentation parameter. Similar mechanical phases containing calcium silica hydrate, crystalline calcium hydroxide and un-hydrated clinker were found in both samples varying by volume fraction. Blended cement, moreover, contains a phase of slag hydration products with a significantly lower modulus of elasticity. This phase with a high portion of unreacted GBFS is mostly responsible for the difference of mechanical properties of the whole composite.

Alkali substances are present in cements used as a binder in concrete only in a minimum content. The most known process that alkali causes is the alkali-silica reaction. In this reaction, the alkali contained in the cement or supplied from the outside with an inappropriately selected aggregate containing amorphous SiO2. This reaction results in the development of hydration products, resulting in an increase in the volume of the original components, which can cause a breakage of the concrete structure and subsequent disintegration. The range of alkali-silica reaction can be reduced by the use of a suitable aggregate or the use of Type II admixtures which are characterized by pozzolanic or latently hydraulic activity. These admixtures react with alkali and then no longer react with the amorphous SiO2 contained in the aggregate. Alkalis also affect other properties of concrete such as basic physical-mechanical properties, frost resistance and pH.In the experimental part the pH values were compared between mixtures of Portland cement and alkaline activated blast furnace slag using slag aggregate from the heap Koněv.

With new type steel slag-blast furnace slag-fluorgypsum-based cemented material, P O42.5 cement, commonly used cementation agent in China, mechanical properties and microstructure of tailings solidification bodies are studied. The hydration products and morphology tailings concretion body in 60 days are analyzed by SEM and XRD test, which reveals the tailings cementation mechanism solidifying with different cementitious material. Furthermore, a large number of slender bar-like ettringite crystals and filamentous network-like calcium-silicate-hydrate gels bond firmly each other, which is the most important reason why steel slag-blast furnace slag-fluorgypsum base cemented material has the best tailings cementation mechanical properties.

The disposal of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) fly ash has been a serious environmental problem in the development of our society. In this work, the feasibility of recycling CFB fly ash as a blended material incorporating blast furnace slag (BFS), clinker and gypsum for the preparation of Eco-cement has been investigated. The mechanical properties of CFB fly ash based Eco-cements, including CFB fly ash–clinker system, CFB fly ash–ground BFS system, and CFB fly ash–ground BFS–clinker system, were evaluated in this paper. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to analyze the microstructural changes and the hydration products of the CFB fly ash based Eco-cement pastes. The results indicated that it is feasible to use CFB fly ash along with BFS and clinker to produce Eco-cement. The hydration products of CFB fly ash based Eco-cement are mostly ettringite and amorphous C-S-H gel, which are principally responsible for the strength and structure development of CFB fly ash based Eco-cement in the hydration process.

Adverse side-effects occurred in slurry foaming and thickening process when carbide slag was substituted for quicklime in HCS-AAC. Cement accelerators were introduced to modify the slurry foaming and coagulating process during pre-curing. Meanwhile, the affiliated effects on the physical-mechanical properties and hydration products were discussed to evaluate the applicability and influence of the cement accelerator. The hydration products were characterized by mineralogical (XRD) and thermal analysis (DSC-TG). The results indicated that substituting carbide slag for quicklime retarded slurry foaming and curing progress; meanwhile, the induced mechanical property declination had a negative effect on the generation of C–S–H (I) and tobermorite. Na2SO4 and Na2O·2.0SiO2 can effectively accelerate the slurry foaming rate, but the promoting effect on slurry thickening was inconspicuous. The compressive strength of HCS-AAC obviously declined with increasing cement coagulant content, which was mainly ascribed to the decrease in bulk density caused by the accelerating effect on the slurry foaming process. Dosing Na2SO4 under 0.4% has little effect on the generation of strength contributing to hydration products while the addition of Na2O·2.0SiO2 can accelerate the generation and crystallization of C–S–H, which contributed to the high activity gelatinous SiO2 generated from the reaction between Na2O·2.0SiO2 and Ca(OH)2.

The titanium- and silicon-codoped a-C:H films were prepared at different applied bias voltage by magnetron sputtering TiSi target in argon and methane mixture atmosphere. The influence of the applied bias voltage on the composition, surface morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of the films was investigated by XPS, AFM, Raman, FTIR spectroscopy, and nanoindenter. The tribological properties of the films were characterized on an UMT-2MT tribometer. The results demonstrated that the film became smoother and denser with increasing the applied bias voltage up to −200 V, whereas surface roughness increased due to the enhancement of ion bombardment as the applied bias voltage further increased. The sp3carbon fraction in the films monotonously decreased with increasing the applied bias voltage. The film exhibited moderate hardness and the superior tribological properties at the applied bias voltage of −100 V. The tribological behaviors are correlated to the H/E or H3/E2ratio of the films.
