In this work, the possibility of using micro-size metakaolin(MSK) particles to improve the compressive strength of HVFA paste before and after subjecting to high temperatures was studied. To produce HVFA paste, cement was partially substituted with 70% fly ash(FA), by weight. After that, FA was partially substituted with MSK at ratios fluctuating from 5% to 20% with an interval of 5%, by weight. The effect of MSK on the workability of HVFA mixture was measured. After curing, specimens were subjected to different high temperatures fluctuating from 400 to 1000 ℃ with an interval of 200 ℃ for 2 h. The results were analyzed by different techniques named X-ray diffraction(XRD), thermogravimetry(TGA) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results showed that the incorporation of MSK particles into HVFA mixture exhibited a negative effect on the workability and a positive effect on the compressive strength before and after firing.展开更多
In this paper, different particle sizes of coal fly ash FA-R(D50= 15.75 μm), FA-A(D50= 3.61 μm) and FA-B(D50= 1.73 μm) were treated with Na OH solution to prepare the forming adsorbents FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B.The s...In this paper, different particle sizes of coal fly ash FA-R(D50= 15.75 μm), FA-A(D50= 3.61 μm) and FA-B(D50= 1.73 μm) were treated with Na OH solution to prepare the forming adsorbents FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B.The structure and adsorption properties of the forming adsorbents for methylene blue(MB) from aqueous solution were examined. The results showed that the specific surface areas and adsorption capacities of the forming adsorbent for MB increased with decreasing particle size of raw coal fly ashes. The adsorption kinetic data of MB on FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B fitted the second-order kinetic model very well with the rate constants(k2) of3.15 × 10-2, 3.84 × 10-2and 6.27 × 10-2g·mg-1·min-1, respectively. The adsorption process was not only controlled by intra-particle diffusion. The isotherms of MB on FFA-R, FFA-A and FFA-B can be described by the Langmuir isotherm and the Freundlich isotherm, and the adsorption processes were spontaneous and exothermic.展开更多
