The ability of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) to fix and immobilize heavy metals was investigated. Two raw materials were used to prepare alkali-activated matrices – high-temperature fly ash and blast furnace slag (BFS). NaOH served as an alkaline activator. Two heavy metals (Mn, Ni) were added in different amounts to find out the influence of dosage of heavy metal on the mechanical properties of the matrices and the leachability. Leachability was measured as concentration of heavy metals in leachates (ČSN EN 12457-4) by inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES). Structure of prepared matrices was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increasing of addition of heavy metals led to decrease of mechanical properties of matrices. The leaching tests showed, that both matrices can immobilize Mn and Ni in dosages of 0.1 – 2,5%. Higher dosages caused deterioration of the matrices and increased the leachability. After alkali activation both heavy metals were transformed into the form of insoluble salts.

The study deals with the preparation process and properties of alkali-activated blast furnace slag with different addition of lignosulphonate plasticizer. The goal of this study is to evaluate the suitability of plasticizer and find the convenient dose of this admixture, which improve the workability and mechanical properties of alkali-activated slag. The stability of plasticizing admixture in alkali environment was studied by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Recycling of materials is very popular and very important in these days. Finding the new ways to process and use these materials is a key to get rid of a lot of construction waste. The amount of landfilling needs to be reduced. This study observes mechanical properties of the cement composites containing recycled concrete powder and alkali-activated blast furnace slag processed on a high- peed mill as a potential binder replacement up to the 60 wt. %. These materials have a positive effect on hydration process, increase flexural strength. It can reduce compressive strength loss when an amount of cement in the mixture is reduced.

The paper presents a laboratory study of concrete mixes based on the alkali-activation of an industrial by-product, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). A number of factors potentially affecting the resulting concrete quality in terms of workability and strengths were investigated (namely activator type, molarity, curing conditions and times). The statistical significance of the effect of these factors was supported by ANOVA. Higher workability and strengths (with lower activator concentrations) were obtained for KOH containing mixes. Curing at constant moisture and ambient temperature was successful for most alkaline activators and mixes, which showed good concrete strengths at all curing times; when Na2SiO3 was used in addition to NaOH or KOH activators of moderate to high molarity, strengths exceeded those of Ordinary Portland Cement (CEM-I) concrete of a similar water/cement ratio.

Alkali-activated binders (AABs) are developed through the activation of aluminosilicate-rich materials using alkaline reagents. The characteristics of AABs developed using a novel dry-mixing technique incorporating powder-based reagents/activators are extensively explored. A total of forty-four binder mixes are assessed in terms of their fresh and hardened state properties. The influence of mono/binary/ternary combinations of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)/precursors and different types/combinations/dosages of powder-based reagents on the strength and workability properties of different binder mixes are assessed to determine the optimum composition of precursors and the reagents. The binary (55% fly ash class C and 45% ground granulated blast furnace slag) and ternary (25% fly ash class C, 35% fly ash class F and 40% ground granulated blast furnace slag) binders with reagent-2 (calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfate = 2.5:1) exhibited desired workability and 28-day compressive strengths of 56 and 52 MPa, respectively. Microstructural analyses (in terms of SEM/EDS and XRD) revealed the formation of additional calcium aluminosilicate hydrate with sodium or mixed Ca/Na compounds in binary and ternary binders incorporating reagent-2, resulting in higher compressive strength. This research confirms the potential of producing powder-based cement-free green AABs incorporating binary/ternary combinations of SCMs having the desired fresh and hardened state properties under ambient curing conditions.
