Erosion Mitigation

Loss of durability of concrete materials in sewage and chemical treatment facilities exposed to acidic environments is a key issue that affects the life cycle performance. Applications of organic coating such as epoxy and acrylic usually covers the concrete surface by physical addition normally failed to act as an effective coating due to debonding when the organic coating absorbs water. In this work, geopolymer was used as alternative material for concrete coating. Preparation of geopolymer involved fly ash, a materials containing high aluminosilicate and calcium mixed with various concentrations (6, 8 and 12M) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Subsequently, all samples were tested and analysed through compressive strength test and gel time. Geopolymers synthesised from 12M NaOH concentration exhibited high compressive strength and low gel time, hence was chosen as a coating for the concretes for the erosion evaluation. Results show that, concretes coated with geopolymers yielded low percentage of mass loss compared to the uncoated concretes. This suggest that geopolymers has high potential to be used as erosion mitigation coating to prevent the concretes from degrading due to the acidic environment.

It takes on the technical and economic double benefits that fly ash taking the place of cement. However, water/binder of modern concrete is generally low; the research on the concrete performance which is based on large water/binder is no longer suitable for analysis of modern concrete. As to this problem, using different proportions of W/B and FA dosage as influencing factors, specimen is compounded for the compressive strength test. Then, mechanical properties of HPC are studied systematically. Based on this, macro-performance is analyzed from a micro-mechanism point of view through taking the electron micrograph. As the study shows, strength of HPC mixed with fly ash has low characteristics at early period while high ones at later period. At later hydration, fly ash effect plays a significant role, the growth rate of concrete strength increases as the increase of FA dosage. Compressive strength of concrete decreases as the increase of W/B and FA dosage. When the W/B is high, compressive strength is not sensitive to the change of W/B and FA dosage; but when the W/B decreases from 0.30 to 0.25, the concrete strength transition occurs. The influence of W/B on concrete compressive strength is more significant than that of the FA dosage; in the preparation of HPC, fly ash can be added more and cement is added less relatively by decreasing the W/B, displaying the role of micro-aggregate filling and modification, improving the strength and other performance of concrete. The study on micro-mechanism proves well the macro-phenomena above.

Fly ash is a by-product obtained from coal combustion process. Some of the utilization of fly ash is to produce geopolymer products which have high compressive strength, fire, chemical resistance. This paper proposes fly ash from unit 1-7 Suralaya Power Plant Indonesia. The aims of this study are to obtain characterization of fly ash and mechanical properties of geopolymer paste based on variations of the alkali activator ratio. The method was based on previous research and laboratory investigation. XRF and compressive strength were analysed in this study. Alkali activator was obtained from NaOH and Na2SiO3 mixture. The ratio of Na2SiO3 to NaOH was in the range of 0.5-2.5. Geopolymer paste was casted in acrylic cylinders with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 4 cm. The curing was conducted at room temperature until the day for the compressive strength test at 28 days. The result showed that the fly ash is classified as F class. Increasing the alkali activator ratio influenced the strength. The best composition of geopolymer paste is made with NaOH 8M, and the mass ratio of Na2SiO3 to NaOH is 2.5. This composition produced compressive strength of 98.6 MPa.

Day By Day

Concrete is the most widely used construction material all over the world. The quantity of the water plays an important role in the preparation of concrete. And the demand of concrete is increasing day by day and cement is used for satisfying the need of development of infrastructure facilities, 1 tonne cement production generates 1 tonne CO2, which adversely affect the environment. In order to reduce the use of OPC and CO2 generation, the new generation concrete has been developed such as Geopolymer concrete (GPC). Geopolymers are inorganic polymers and their chemical composition is similar to natural materials. Geopolymer binders are the alternatives in the development of acid resistant concrete i.e. durability of concrete. Geopolymer concrete is produced using Fly ash at 100% replacement to cement and binders like NaOH, Na2SiO3 to ignite the geopolymerisation. Many studies were carried out on properties of geopolymer concrete. This study focuses on enhancing the strength of geopolymer concrete by using fibers. 60% polyester and 40% polypropylene fibers are added to geopolymer concrete addition with Fly ash content. The trail mixes were casted with addition of fibers at different percentages like (0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50 %). Then samples were air-cured for 28 days at ambient temperature. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 3, 7 and 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 0.40% addition of fibers when compared to nominal mix(GPC).

In order to investigate the mechanical properties of cementitious composites (ECC) cured at 60°C, four-point bending test and compressive strength test are employed to analyze the effect of fly ash on the properties of ECC. The replacement ratio of cement with fly ash is 50%, 70% and 80%, respectively. The test results indicate that ECC with high volume fly ash still remain the characteristic of pseudo-strain hardening and the deflection of ECC increases remarkably by adding more fly ash. The observations of ECC indicate that the crack width is relatively smaller for higher volume fly ash ECC. Meanwhile, compressive strength of ECC specimens with 80% fly ash can reach to 70MPa. This is helpful to produce precast ECC with high volume of fly ash.

This study aims to determine the effect of calcium stearate on concrete. Three kinds of concrete quality are studied, namely, 20, 30, and 40 MPa. Tests performed in the laboratory comprise a compressive strength test and an infiltration test of chloride ion content. The specimens used were cylinders with a diameter of 150 mm and height of 300 mm. The chloride ion infiltration test was carried out on a cube with sides of 150 mm. The infiltration of ions into the concrete was examined at depths of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 cm. Four dosages of calcium stearate were added to the concrete, namely, 0, 0.25, 1.27, and 2.53% for 20 MPa concrete; 0, 0.21, 1.07, and 2.48% for 30 MPa concrete; and 0, 0.19, 0.90, and 1.87% for 40 MPa concrete. The results of compressive strength tests indicate that the amount of calcium stearate that could be safely applied to the concrete was 0.25% of the weight of cement. On the other hand, the infiltration of chloride ions at a depth of 6 cm from the unprotected concrete surface decreased by 87, 69, and 113% for the 20, 30, and 40 MPa concrete, respectively, compared to concrete without calcium stearate. The test shows that the use of calcium stearate in concrete significantly increases its resistivity against corrosion attacks because, in the absence of chloride ions, the process of corrosion does not take place in the concrete.

Fly ash as a pozzolanic waste material can be utilized to substitute part of Portland cement in concrete mixture. The concrete paving industry utilizes the fly ash up to 50% (by weight) of the total binder. This study aims to obtain the characteristics of fly ash applications for pervious concrete. The composition of the binder developed based on the optimal proportion of fly ash from the previous study and the maximum of fly ash percentage used by the local paving industry in general. Other mix variations were made of the same binder composition with the addition of 6% of fine aggregates. The compressive strength of pervious concrete which binder composed of 63% portland cemet composite-25% fly ash-12% silica fume gained at 28 days, was not much different from the compressive strength of the pervious concrete without fine aggregate and with the binder composition of 50% FA-50% PCC and 0% SF. The value of the compressive strength test of the pervious concrete without fine aggregate is still within the range of compressive strength values ​​according to the ACI 522 R-10. The permeability rate of the pervious concrete is in the range of permeability research result of Chopra, 2013 (0.97 ÷ 1.90 cm/sec), but still higher compared to permeability rate gained by Dewoolkar, 2009 (0.83 ÷ 0.98 cm/sec).

Deinking sludge and coal fly ash are classified as hazardous wastes that have to be treated before disposed in landfill. Solidification is an alternative treatment to prevent hazardous materials release to the environment. The research was conducted to find solidification combination formula of deinking sludge and coal fly ash that pass compressive strength test (>10ton/m2) and paint filter test so it can be disposed to landfill. The concretes were made from cement and aggregate (50% deinking sludge and 50% fly ash) on range combination 1:11 - 1:20. In addition, based on pozzolanic characteristic of fly ash, concretes without cement was made. The results showed that solidification products with combination 1:11 - 1:20 have compressive strength that exceed the regulation and passed paint filter test. Combination of 50% deinking sludge and 50% coal fly ash without portland cement addition had compressive strength that met requirement for landfill disposal.Key words : deinking sludge, fly ash, solidification, landfill ABSTRAKDeinking sludge dan fly ash batubara termasuk kedalam kategori limbah B-3 yang harus diolah terlebih dahulu sebelum ditimbun di landfill.
