| Abstract Scope |
Blast furnace slag (BFS) activated alkali cements are an alternative to the use of Portland cement. The objective of this work was to characterize a BFS for potential application as an activated alkali cement. Characterizations were performed using SEM, particle size, physical parameter analysis, chemical composition, XRD, FTIR and ATD. The mechanical strength of activated alkali cement, compared to Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), was also evaluated. The results demonstrate the feasibility of applying BFS as an alternative and eco-friendly cement, due to the characterization parameters being within the recommended range and due to the superior compressive strength of the OPC composition. |
