Background/Objectives:When producing 1 ton of cement, it produces 0.9 tons of carbon dioxide, so it is very important to reduce the use of cement or to find an alternative material.Methods/Statistical analysis: In order to replace cement which is frequently used to make lightweight cured products, blends of blast furnace slag, polysilicon and paper ash were used as binders. In order to stimulate the hardening of blast furnace slag, comparative analysis of characteristics of alkali stimulants was carried out by using KOH and NaOH as alkali stimulants.Findings: In order to improve the foaming performance for the production of lightweight Matrix, we used polysilicon and paper ash as well as blast furnace slag as one of industrial by - product a binder. KOH and NaOH were used as alkali stimulants. The experimental results are as follows.When alkali stimulants are used, the density decreases and the absorption rate increases. It is considered that the use of an alkali stimulant causes air bubbles to occur, resulting in a lower density and an increased absorption rate. The use of NaOH rather than KOH seems to result in better bubble generation. Strength was significantly decreased when alkali stimulants were used, but it was confirmed that the strength of NaOH was increased than that of KOH.Improvements/Applications: As a result of this study, we will fabricate a lightweight matrix that can be used as a prototype by using NaOH according to KS F 2701 standards.

In this study, removal of arsenic ions using two industrial by-products as adsorbents is represented. Removal of As(III) and As(V) from water was carried out with industrial by-products: residual from the groundwater treatment process, iron-manganese oxide coated sand (IMOCS), and blast furnace slag from steel production (BFS), both inexpensive and locally available. In addition, the BFS was modified in order to minimise its deteriorating impact on the initial water quality. Kinetic and equilibrium studies were carried out using batch and fixed-bed column adsorption techniques under the conditions that are likely to occur in real water treatment systems. To evaluate the application for real groundwater treatment, the capacities of the selected materials were further compared to those exhibited by commercial sorbents, which were examined under the same experimental conditions. IMOCS was found to be a good and inexpensive sorbent for arsenic, while BFS and modified slag showed the highest affinity towards arsenic. All examined waste materials exhibited better sorption performances for As(V). The maximum sorption capacity in the batch reactor was obtained for blast furnace slag, 4040 μgAs(V)/g.

This article presents a study on the adequate application of blast furnace slag to replace quartz sand in cementitious self-leveling mortar. The results show that the strength of mortar decreases slightly, because slag sand can drag in some air bubbles which can form holes in the harden mortar. And compared with quartz sand, its compression strength loses only 4.6 % on 28d age. the proportion of 75 % slag sand and 25 % quartz sand was the best proportion as coarse filler.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes preliminary a model for the strength of concretes containing industrial by-products such as fly ash, blast-furnace slag, and silica fume. A formula that describes the various strength production mechanisms of these by-products is developed. These materials produce strength by pozzolanic reaction, by latently hydraulic reactions and by self-cementing reactions similar to Portland cement. A method of separating the effect of each mechanism is proposed. A parameter for each of these strength producing mechanisms can be determined from concrete strength data.

Acid soils with pH values below 5.5 have a negative effect on agricultural production. For this reason, liming is applied as a measure to raise the soil pH to the optimum (pH = 6–7). The aim of our research was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of four liming materials (wood ash from biomass powerplant, filter dust from cement factory, blast furnace slag from iron factory, and carbocalk (limestone, a by-product from a sugar factory)) in combination with and without solid digestate (a by-product from biogas plant) as organic fertilizer. Two field trials were set up to determine the effect of the studied materials to neutralize the acidity, and the impact on soil fertility and nutrient status in the soil. The results showed that all four liming materials raised the pH of the soil. Out of these four, wood ash showed to be the best while blast furnace slag was the worst. The yield of alfalfa increased with the application of all four lime materials. Application of liming materials with solid digestate increased soil organic matter and had slightly higher yields compared to liming materials without solid digestate. The highest yields were achieved with the application of wood ash, probably due to somewhat higher concentrations of potassium and phosphorus in wood ash. Further research on the financial aspects of investigated by-products application is necessary to exploit their potential as a liming material.

Due to the increase in fine dust caused by deepening air pollution, interest in the adverse effects of fine dust has increased. In this study, an experiment was conducted by applying a physical adsorption mechanism to the matrix to evaluate the properties of the microdust adsorption matrix. Density, absorption rate, fluidity, thermal conductivity, strength, and fine dust adsorption tests were conducted as test items for the evaluation of the physical properties of the matrix mixed with blast furnace slag-based powdered activated carbon. In this study, powdered activated carbon was used as a material for adsorbing fine dust. The results of the experiment for fabricating a fine dust adsorption matrix using powdered activated carbon are as follows. As the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased, the density and absorption ratio tended to decrease and the absorption ratio increased. The flowability test showed a tendency to decrease as the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased. As a result of the thermal conductivity test measurement, as the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased, it decreased due to the increase of voids. As a result of the fine dust measurement, the higher the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon was, the more the concentration tended to decrease due to the physical adsorption action. Compared to previous experiments using photocatalysts, it has been confirmed that overall performance such as strength has decreased, so a solution is needed.

The replacement of natural materials by industrial by-products has given a variety of new construction materials that are economically viable and ecologically beneficial. Blast furnace slag is one of these industrial by-products. Its beneficial proprieties and characteristics have led to rapid growth of production in Algeria and worldwide. This research deals with the effect of alkaline activation of slag cement with clinker. Various agents that activate the process were used for testing, and it showed that compressive strength at 28 d, which reached 150% with respect to compressive strength obtained from slag cement at different percentages of slag (50%–80%), increased considerably. Alkaline activators accelerate hydration and stimulate the hardening process. The results also show the efficacy of steam cured treatment on the compressive strength.Key words: slag cement, activation agent, hydration, hardening, steam curing.

There has been a significant movement in the past decades to develop alternative sustainable building material such as geopolymer cement/concrete to control CO2 emission. Industrial waste contains pozzolanic minerals that fulfil requirements to develop the sustainable material such as alumino-silicate based geopolymer. For example, industrial waste such as red mud, fly ash, GBFS/GGBS (granulated blast furnace slag/ground granulated blast furnace slag), rice husk ash (RHA), and bagasse ash consist of minerals that contribute to the manufacturing of geopolymer cement/concrete. A literature review was carried out to study the different industrial waste/by-products and their chemical composition, which is vital for producing geopolymer cement, and to discuss the mechanical properties of geopolymer cement/concrete manufactured using different industrial waste/by-products. The durability, financial benefits and sustainability aspects of geopolymer cement/concrete have been highlighted. As per the experimental results from the literature, the cited industrial waste has been successfully utilized for the synthesis of dry or wet geopolymers. The review revealed that that the use of fly ash, GBFS/GGBS and RHA in geopolymer concrete resulted high compressive strength (i.e., 50 MPa–70 MPa). For high strength (>70 MPa) achievement, most of the slag and ash-based geopolymer cement/concrete in synergy with nano processed waste have shown good mechanical properties and environmental resistant. The alkali-activated geopolymer slag, red mud and fly ash based geopolymer binders give a better durability performance compared with other industrial waste. Based on the sustainability indicators, most of the geopolymers developed using the industrial waste have a positive impact on the environment, society and economy.
