Abstract

The existence of a large number of solid wastes has caused great pollution to the environment. In this study, different solid waste such as steel slag, water-quenched manganese slag, red mud and coal gangue was used in cement mortar, and the mechanical properties and hydration products were studied. Results showed that water-quenched manganese slag and high-calcium coal gangue after spontaneous combustion showed higher activity. Coal gangue has the highest activity of 102% and red mud has the lowest activity of 69%. Both steel slag and manganese slag added samples showed higher strength than that of manganese slag and steel slag separately added samples. The composite admixture of steel slag, manganese slag, red mud and coal gangue showed the highest strength at 7%, 8%, 8%, 7% and 7%, 12%, 4%, and 7%, respectively.
