Ash-slag binders derived from thermal power plant wastes

Abstract

This research deals with the Portland cement hydration processes in the presence of chemical additives. The slag-alkyne binders based on bottom ash are under investigation. It has been solved the problem of utilization the wastes from the thermal power plants. The components of slag-alkyne binders have been tested, normal gravity of cement mixture with the additives has been determined, and cement mixture curing period was measured. The possibility of deriving the ash-slag binders of the thermal power plant wastes was discovered. The methods of mathematical experiment planning were applied to assess the influence levels of chemical additives on the properties of alkyne-slag binders. The presented results provide the thermal power plants with a solution to how the industrial wastes can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly fashion. The spreadsheets with research data are provided along with the equations for the binders' properties correlation with the number of chemical additives used and its fraction in the total composition.
