Hydration characteristics and sustainability of calcium carbide slag-activated full solid waste cementitious materials under high temperature curing
Abstract
Using calcium carbide slag (CCS) to replace ordinary portland cement (OPC) as an alkali activator for the preparation of full solid waste cementitious material is a green and low carbon method. This study investigates the influence of 80 °C high-temperature curing on ground granulated blast furnace slag - steel slag based supersulfated cement (GS-SSC) incorporating 0 to 20 wt% CCS. The hydration products and microstructure of GS-SSC were analysed using various microscopic techniques, assess the compressive strength and pH value development, exploring the hydration mechanism of CCS activated GS-SSC. The results indicated that the CCS could increase the alkalinity of GS-SSC, activate the pozzolanic activity of ground granulated blast furnace slag-steel slag (GGBS-SS). Compared with the control group, the CCS promote the generation of more AFt and C-(A)-S-H gels, fill the pores and microcracks of the samples, making the microstructures denser. CCS significantly increased the compressive strength of the samples under curing at high temperatures. When 10 % CCS was incorporated, the compressive strength reached 31.2 MPa at 3 d and further increased to 33.5 MPa at 7 d. Moreover, sustainability assessment results indicate that the material exhibits favorable environmental and performance sustainability under this dosage condition. It is remarkable that a higher CCS content (>10 %) has a negative effect on the compressive strength of the samples. These results provide a new approach to promote the resourceful efficient utilization of industrial solid waste and serve as a valuable reference for designing low carbon cementitious materials based on GGBS-SS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
