This research studies the potential for using waste ash from industrial and agricultural by-products as a pozzolanic material. Classified fly ash (FA) and ground rice husk ash (RA) were the materials used. Water requirement, compressive strength and porosity of cement mortar were investigated. Test results indicated that FA and RA (waste ash) have a high potential to be used as a good pozzolanic material. The water requirement of mortar mix decreases with the increases in fly ash content. For ground rice husk ash (RA), the water requirement of mortar mix increases with the increases in rice husk ash content. In addition, the reduction in porosity was associated with the increase in compressive strength.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the influence of mineral additives i.e. metakaolin, silica fume, rice ash and fly ash incorporating with nanocarbontubes mortar composites. The effects on compressive strength at 28 days were also discussed and presented. Cement content of 500 kg/m3, water/cement ratio of 0.6 and aggregate/cement ratio of 2.75 were adopted for the mix propotion. 1%, 3% and 5% of nanocarbontubes in mortar were combined with 15% of mineral additives. The results show that mixtures of nanocarbontubes with 15% of metakaolin produce better strength compared to normal mortar. Meanwhile with addition of fly ash and rice husk ash the strength were decreased. The electrical resistance for all mixes at 28 days were also discussed and presented. The higher percentages of nanocarbon with addition of all mineral additives resulted in lower electrical resistance properties

Abstract Fly Ash, Rice Husk Ash and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Plastic Waste also contribute to environmental problems. Starting from the problem of CO2 emissions to ecosystem damage due to the accumulation of waste on the earth’s surface. Therefore, this study focuses on the use of Fly Ash, Rice husk ash and LLDPE Powder as a mixture of Alkaline-Activated Mortar. In this study, Fly Ash as a Pozzolanic Material mixed with Alkaline Activator Solution serves as a binder for Mortar. Rice husk ash is used as a substitute material for Fly ash while LLDPE powder functions as a substitute material for sand. The percentage of LLDPE powder used in the mortar mixture is from 0 to 15% of the total weight of the mixture. While the percentage of rice husk ash used in the mixture is 7%, Alkali Activator Solution 27% and Sand ranging from 24.5 to 39.5%. There are six variations of the mortar specimen (AAMP1, AAMP2, AAMP3, AAMP4, AAMP5, AAMP6). Initial setting time testing is done on binder mortar. The mortar compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days after curing the oven at temperatures of 40°C and 60°C. From the test results obtained the highest compressive strength of 11.3 MPa on the AAMP6 test object with a curing temperature of 60°C where the percentage of LLDPE powder on the specimen is 15%. The core of the longest setting time is in the AAMP6 Alkaline-Activated Mortar binder variation, which is 180 minutes.

Cement as the binding agent in the production of concrete can be replaced with active mineral admixtures. Biofuel combustion fly ash is one of such admixtures. Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, sand of 0/4 fraction, gravel of 4/16 fraction, biofuel fly ash, superplasticizer, water. Six compositions of concrete were designed by replacing 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% 20%, and 25% of cement with biofuel fly ash. The article analyses the effect of biofuel fly ash content on the properties of concrete. The tests revealed that the increase of biofuel fly ash content up to 20% increases concrete density and compressive strength after 7 and 28 days of curing and decreases water absorption, with corrected water content by using plasticizing admixture. It was found that concrete where 20% of cement is replaced by biofuel ash has higher frost resistance.

The increasing demand and consumption of cement have necessitated the use of slag, fly ash, rice husk ash (RHA), and so forth as a supplement of cement in concrete construction. The aim of the study is to develop a zero-cement binder (Z-Cem) using slag, fly ash, and RHA combined with chemical activator. NaOH, Ca(OH)2, and KOH were used in varying weights and molar concentrations. Z-Cem was tested for its consistency, setting time, flow, compressive strength, XRD, SEM, and FTIR. The consistency and setting time of the Z-Cem paste increase with increasing RHA content. The Z-Cem mortar requires more superplasticizer to maintain a constant flow of110±5% compared with OPC. The compressive strength of the Z-Cem mortar is significantly influenced by the amounts, types, and molar concentration of the activators. The Z-Cem mortar achieves a compressive strength of 42–44 MPa at 28 days with 5% NaOH or at 2.5 molar concentrations. The FTIR results reveal that molecules in the Z-Cem mortar have a silica-hydrate (Si-H) bond with sodium or other inorganic metals (i.e., sodium/calcium-silica-hydrate-alumina gel). Therefore, Z-Cem could be developed using the aforementioned materials with the chemical activator.

Geopolymer is a greener alternative cement produced from the reaction of pozzolans and strong alkali solutions. Generally, the cement industry is one of largest producers of CO2that caused global warming. For geopolymer mortar usage, Portland cement is not utilized at all. In this research, geopolymer mortars were prepared by mixing metakaolin, various wastes (fly ash, bagasse ash and rice husk ash) varied as 80:20, 50:50 and 20:80, 15M NaOH, Na2SiO3and sand. The influence of various parameters such as metakaolin to ashes ratios and pozzolans to alkali ratios on engineering properties of metakaolin blended wastes geopolymer mortar were studied. Compressive strength tests were carried out on 25 x 25 x 25 mm3cube geopolymer mortar specimens at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 91 air curing days. Physical and chemical properties were also investigated at the same times. The test results revealed that the highest compressive strength was 20% metakaolin - 80% fly ash geopolymer mortar. When the curing times increases, the compressive strength of geopolymer mortar also increases. The mixing of metakaolin and bagasse ash/rice husk ash presented lower compressive strength but higher water absorption and porosity. For FTIR results, Si-O, Al-O and Si-O-Na+were found. Moreover, the geopolymer mortar could easily plastered on the wall.

Maximum Compressive Strength

The influence of admixture of super-fine limestone powder and low-quality fly ash in different proportions on the fluidity and strength of cement mortar is studied. The test results show that the mortar fluidity increases with the increase of the super-fine limestone powder (the mixing amount of fly ash reduces), and the strength of cement mortar can improve when limestone powder and low-quality fly ash are combined admixed to a certain ratio. The maximum flexural strength of the 28d mortar is 9.8MPa and its maximum compressive strength is 42.2MPa, and at this time, the limestone powder accounts for 33.3% of the mineral admixtures. However, when the mixing amount of super-fine limestone powder is over a certain range, the strength of 28d cement mortar will reduce.
