: Usage of Fly ash based cement and concrete has become increasingly popular with the recognition that in addition to strength, other properties such as impermeability ,elastic modulus and resistance to corrosion are critical parameters for long term durability and low life cycle cost.
The abundant availability of fly ash as a byproduct from coal fired thermal power plants has led researchers to focus on the factors responsible for the pozzolanacity of the fly ash as also the means for enhancing its reactivity .The comparative reactivity of Class-C and Class – F fly ashes has been studied and reported by researchers in great detail.
However very few studies relate to the relation between the amorphous glassy phase contents and the reactivity of low lime class-F fly ashes.
An attempt has been made to correlate the chemical, mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of the Low lime Class-F fly ashes from different sources with its reactivity as a pozzolana.
Hydration studies have been carried out to assess the pozzolanacity of the Low Lime Class – F fly ashes of different sources, using a method evolved at the authors laboratory which monitors the kinetics of hydration of the blended cement pastes ( made with 20% Fly ash under study ) and neat OPC pastes at different ages of hydration .Based on the studies the authors rate the pozzolanacity of the different fly ashes and conclude that the differences in the amorphous contents of the fly ashes result in a variability in the nature and content of the combined water (TGA/DTA),Mineralogy(XRD)and Microstructure of the hydrated blended cement pastes indicating a difference in the stochiometry of the CSH phases formed by the different fly ashes .
Key Words : Low Lime Class-F Flyash , reactivity , amorphous phase
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
writing a blog post or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I
think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
