Preparation and Performance of Ultra-Fine High Activity Composite Micronized Powder from Multi-Solid Waste

Abstract

The composite micronized powder is prepared by using blast furnace slag (BFS), water-quenched manganese slag (WQMS), manganese tailing slag (MTS) and desulfurization gypsum (DG) and grinding aid (GA) through orthogonal test optimization design. The effect of the doping amount of each solid waste on the fluidity, activity at different ages and resistance to chloride ion penetration of the composite micropowder was studied systematically, and the exothermic characteristics of hydration of the composite micropowder with the optimal ratio were tested. The results showed that the amount of MTS dosing was the most significant factor among the four factors on the activity index of composite micronized powder at 7 d and 28 d. The activity index at 28 d decreased and then increased with the increase in MTS dosing; the amount of BFS dosing was the most significant factor affecting the fluidity and chloride ion permeation resistance of composite micronized powder. With an increase in BFS dosing, the fluidity ratio of composite micronized powder increased and then decreased; the electric flux of the matrix decreased, and the chloride ion permeation resistance increased. The optimal ratio of composite powder with the highest 28 d activity is 35% BFS, 30% MTS, 0.3% GA, 5% DG and 30% WQMS. The hydration rate and cumulative heat release of the slurry prepared with the optimal ratio of composite micronized powder to cement (1:1) are lower than those of pure cement slurry. The microstructure of the mortar test block prepared with a 1:1 composite of cement is more compact than that of the pure cement mortar test block, and the pores are fewer.
