properties of the phosphate washing waste-based alkali activated mortars. This study aims to investigate the reaction products of the phosphate washing waste activated with sodium hydroxide (SH) and sodium silicate (SS) with mass ratio of the two solutions SH/SS = 1.
Different techniques were used to characterize the obtained mortars including: Compressive strength, X-ray diffraction XRD, Solid state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) of 3 nuclei (27Al, 29Si and 31P), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and Electron microscope scanning and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The obtained results reveal that the alkali activation of phosphate washing waste generate 2 types of reactions and 2 types of products (N-A-S-H)/(C,N)-A-S-H as 3D network and C{\textendash}S{\textendash}H/C-(A)-S-H as 2D gel. The Al and reactive Ca have a strong effect on the final mechanicalproperties.
The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 24 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
