An comparison research on the effect of pozzolanic reactions of fly ashes in architectural wastes recycle is described in the paper. In the experiment, NaOH and Na2SO4-Ca(OH)2 were used to activate the pozzolanic activities in the fly ashes—cement system to solidify the architectural wastes. The macro and micro testing methods were used to test the compressive strength, phase and electronic micro morphology of the hydration of alkali-activated fly ashes—cement cementitious system. The testing result shows that proper alkali-activated fly ashes—cement cementitious architectural wastes can shorten the incubation time of the pozzolanic reactions of fly ashes, whi ch make the reactions of fly ashes more sufficient. So the hydration products of fly ashes —cement cementitious system with alkali additions were more than those of without alkali add itions, and the compressive strength of the alkali-activated fly ashes—cement cementitious system is higher than that of non alkali-activated fly ashes—cement cementitious system.

Abstract Fine aggregates of construction waste and fly ash were selected as additives to modify the characteristics of Shanghai clayey soil as a composite. The laboratory tests on consistency index, maximum dry density, and unconfined compressive strength were carried out mainly for the purpose of comparing the modifying effect on the composite from fine aggregates of construction waste with that from fly ash. It is mainly concluded from test results that the liquid and plastic limit of the composites increase with the content of two additives. But their maximum dry density all decreases with the additive content. However, fine aggregates of construction waste can increase the optimum water content of the composites, while fly ash on the contrary. Finally, although the two additive all can increase the unconfined compressive strength of composites, fly ash has better effect. The current conclusions are also compared with previous studies, which indicates that the current research results are not completely the same as those from other researchers.

Alkali-activated materials based on fly ash are widely developed and also produced on the present. Some of fly ashes are not suitable for production of alkali-activated materials because of their inconvenient chemical composition. Alumina-silicates are the most important components that are needed to accomplish the successful reaction. The proper content of amorphous phase of alumina-silicates and its proportion as well should be provided for the final composition of alkali-activated materials. The influence of pure aluminum oxide powder as well as raw milled natural perlite on mechanical properties and durability of alkali-activated mortars was investigated. These minerals were used as partial replacement of fly ash coming from black coal combustion. In addition, the mortars were prepared by using different alkali activators.

The aim of this paper is to study the influence of lithium-slag and fly ash on the workability , setting time and compressive strength of alkali-activated slag concrete. The results indicate that lithium-slag and fly-ash can ameliorate the workability, setting time and improve the compressive strength of alkali-activated slag concrete,and when 40% or 60% slag was replaced by lithium-slag or fly-ash, above 10 percent increase in 28-day compressive strength of concrete were obtained.

Fly ash is a well utilizable secondary raw material for the production of alkali activated construction materials. It is a significant alumina-silicates source suitable for the chemical reaction resulting in hardened composites. Physical and chemical properties of fly ashes as a co-product of coal burning mainly depend on characteristics of coal, burning temperature and combustion conditions. High variability of the properties of fly ash causes an uncertainty in the properties of alkali activated mortars. Time behaviour of the composition of the fly ash produced in a heating plant located in Košice, Slovakia as well as leaching behaviour of both alumina and silica from particular batches during one-year period was documented. Leaching tests were carried out using the distilled water and alkali solutions with three different concentrations. Both compressive and tensile strengths of alkali activated mortars were measured, and the correlation between the mechanical properties of hardened mortars and the chemical composition of fly ashes as well as their leaching characteristics was investigated.
