Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the rheological characteristics of inorganic cured foam (ICF). The apparent viscosity, yield stress, and modulus of elasticity of fresh cement-fly ash composite slurries with varying fly ash blending ratios at water/ash ratios of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 were determined. The findings indicate that, under identical testing conditions, the apparent viscosity, yield stress, and modulus of elasticity of fresh cement-fly ash composite slurries (FCFS) gradually decrease with increasing water/ash ratio. The apparent viscosity and modulus of elasticity of inorganic curing foam (ICF) decrease as the volume expansion rate increases, while the linear viscoelastic region (LVER) broadens with higher volume expansion rates. Furthermore, the fitted apparent viscosity-shear stress curve for FCFS aligns with the power law model, whereas the apparent viscosity-shear stress curve for ICF slurries is better represented by the Carreau-Yasuda function model. The results of the study will contribute to the industrial application of inorganic curing foams for the prevention of spontaneous coal combustion.
