Abstract The introduction discusses Source of CKD is a fine-grained hard material created from cement production and is considered as the main by-product from the cement making process. characteristically, cement is being created at high temperatures within a massive rotary kiln. It is where the finely powdered raw materials enter and transfer downward to the cold end of the kiln, whereas the fuels and combustion air are being presented and drawn upward from the hot end of the kiln. CKD is a grey or white colour solid dusty material in room temperature. Its appearance is like to Portland cement. It is odourless and it may have a high average pH value which ranges from pH 12 to pH 13 when it is soluble in water. However, it is only slightly soluble in water with a solubility of 0.1% to 1%. Furthermore, CKD has a high boiling point which go above 1000℃ (>1832℉).

Methods of Investigation: Water of Consistency and Setting Time: Determination the water of standard consistency: The water of standard consistency, initial and final setting times of the prepared pastes were carried out according to (BS EN 196-3: 1994) using Vicat apparatus. A certain weight (500 g) of CKD sample and a quantity of water (ex. 125 g) were put in the mixer bowl (HOBART, model N 50, Canada). The mixer was run at a low speed of 140±5 rpm for 90 seconds then stopped for 15 seconds during which remove by means of suitable plastics scraper all the paste adhering to the wall of the bowl in the middle of the bowl. Density (dp) was carried out before the specimens subjected to the compressive strength determination. Samples were weighed suspended in water and in air (saturated surface dry). Each measurement was conducted on at least three similar cubes of the same mix composition and age. The density was calculated using the following formulas: Saturated weight Bulk density = ( g/cm³ ) Volume of sample Saturated weight-suspended weight Volume Sample = (cm³) Density of water Saturated weight Bulk density = (g/cm³) Saturated weight-suspended weight Compressive Strength Determination: Compressive strength is defined as the maximum compressive stress withstand without failure. When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed. In each case this test was carried out on three one inch cubes following the procedure described by (ASTM C150-07, 2007). Three cubes of the hardened paste representing the same paste blend at each curing time were used for the determination of compressive strength of the hardened paste and the average was considered. Great care was taken to keep the specimens in saturated condition to avoid loss of water filling the pores of the Total Porosity: After the determination of bulk density and water content of specimens, the total porosity of the hardened cement pastes 1 + Wt Total porosity ( Ɛ ) = ______________ x 100 0.99 We × dp Chapter (3) Chapter three illustrates technical results of Mechanical properties of prepared alkali activated products the presence of higher amount of reactive silica and alumina from grog with calcium and silica from calcined WCKD tends to formation of higher amount of geopolymer, CSH and CASH gels which increase the strength of that sample as compared to the other specimens. The dissolution of calcium ion to form CSH is increased with increasing the acidity (silica). Also, the calcination of WCKD has positive effect on improving the strength since some reactive oxides are formed after calcination that the apparent porosity decreases with increasing the amounts of added silica fume or metakaolin or grog. This is due to the formation of sodium aluminum silicate hydrate geopolymer gel and/ or CSH hydrate gel which close the pores and consequently decrease the porosity. It is also indicated that the trend of bulk density is opposite to the trend of apparent porosity. The phase composition of some selected alkali activated products prepared from WCKD/silica fume, WCKD/metakaolin and WCKD/Grog is consist mainly of calcite, quartz and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH). The calcite and quartz are unreacted phases After autoclaving, many phases are appeared in the pattern. These phases are calcite, lime, portlandite, quartz, CSH, C2S, C3S, CaSO4.2H2O, and CaSO4. Some of them are major phases and others are minor. Chapter (4) According to achieved results . The followings are the concluded remarks: White-cement kiln dust was successfully used in production of some alkali activated products in presence of silica fume or metakaolin or grog with alkali activator using direct reaction of starting materials or by hydrothermally treatment of casted raw materials. The reactivity of partner materials (silica fume, metakaolin and grog) is the key point for production of alkali activated products with improved properties. |
