Abstract
Five particle sizes and six dosages of polymerized aluminum chloride (PAC) residue were taken to prepare polymerized aluminum chloride residue cement mortar (PACRM). The compressive and flexural strengths were tested, and SEM analysis was performed. The results showed that the change pattern of strength of PAC waste residue mixed into cement mortar was similar to that of fly ash at the same substitution rate. However, the strength of PACRM decreased with the increase of substitution rate. The flexural and compressive strengths of PACRM reached their peak at all ages after replacing cement with PAC waste residue with particle size of 0-0.075 mm and 30% doping. Their strength ratios were greater than 62%. It does not contribute much to the early strength development of PACRM, but contributes more to the later strength development after the cement is replaced by PAC waste residue. PAC waste residue mainly acts as microaggregate and fills into the mortar pores at low substitution rate. The cracks of the matrix structure are filled by C-S-H, so the mortar structure is more dense and the material strength is enhanced. When the substitution rate increases, the water requirement of mortar increases, resulting in an uncompact structure. The internal pores increase after hardening, and the mortar strength decreases rapidly.
