The specific surface area of ceramsite was increased enormously by more than 50 times because of the modification of honeycomb layer. Moreover, the abundant Si-OH bonds existing in the structure of CAS-H can serve as active sites for TCPS. The combined effects ensure that the hybrid filter medium(named ceramsite/C-A-S-H/TCPS) demonstrated a high Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption capacity of 18.27 mg·g^-1 for particle size of 0.1-0.6 mm, 12.63 mg·g^-1 for 0.6-1.25 mm and 8.64 mg·g^-1 for 1.25-2.35 mm. The Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption capacity per unit area of ceramsite/C-A-S-H/TCPS(0.1-0.6 mm) is up to 4.07 mg·m^-2, which is much higher than that of many nano-adsorbents. In addition, ceramsite/C-AS-H/TCPS could maintain a high removal efficiency(> 85%) in a wide range of p H 3-11 and showed excellent selectivity in the presence of competing ions. Furthermore, Cd(Ⅱ) could be desorbed from ceramsite/C-A-S-H/TCPS composites with nearly 100%, suggesting the potential application in recycling of heavy metal ions.展开更多

Its high silica content gives a partial pozzolanic reactivity due to its crystalline state. This paper investigates the evolution of cement hydration based on a binary addition particularly the reactivity of dune sand finely ground in the presence of an amorphous addition: silica fume or blast furnace slag. Thus, four combinations of binary additions by substitution have been chosen. The X-ray diffraction analyses performed on cement pastes containing additions have shown the importance of the mineralogy and silica content of additions on their pozzolanic reactivity. Dune sand becomes reactive at long term, especially when associated up to 10% of amorphous addition (blast furnace slag or silica fume). It results an increasing in mechanical strength of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and an improvement of the microstructure.展开更多

The expausion of mortar bars and the content of Ca( OH)2 in cement paste cured at 80 °G for 91 d were measured.

TEM/ energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) leas then used to determine the composition of C-S-H. The pore structure of the paste was analyzed by mercury intntsion porosimetry (MIP). The results show that the contents of fly ash of 30% and 45% can well inhibit ASR. And the content of Ca(OH) 2 decreases with the increase of fly ash. That fly ash reacted with Ca(OH)2 to produce C-S-H with a low Ca/Si molar ratio could bind more Na^+ and K^+ ious, and produce a reduction in the amount of soluble alkali available for ASR. At the same time, the C- S- H produced by pozzolanic reaction converted large pores to snudler ones ( gel pores smaller than 10 nm ) to deusify the pore structure. Perhaps that could inhibit alkali trausport to aggregate for ASR.展开更多
