High Calcium Fly Ash

This study presents an investigation into the durability of geopolymer concrete prepared using high calcium fly ash along with alkaline activators when exposed to 2% solution of sulfuric acid and 5% magnesium sulphate for up to 45 days. The durability was also assessed by measuring water absorption and sorptivity. Ordinary Portland cement concrete was also prepared as control concrete.

The compressive strength of geopolymers blended with high calcium fly ash was still developed as the curing day increased and revealed the highest at 28 days especially on MK40 (high calcium fly ash 60 wt%). Geopolymer pastes prepared with a higher amount of high calcium fly ash exhibited less viscous.

The grain size distribution of fly ash is independent of lime content. Fly ash particles of size >75 μm are mostly irregular in shape whereas finer fractions are spherical for low calcium fly ash. For high calcium fly ash, chemical and mineralogical differences have been observed for different size fractions.

The use of high-calcium fly ash (H-FA, Class C) produced by burning the lignite or sub-bituminous coal in Portland cement materials is limited due to problems such as the volume stability and durability caused by the high content of CaO and sulfur .

hydration products. If the calcium content of the fly ash is high enough, it is possible to make concrete with moderate strength using the fly ash as the sole cementing material (Cross 2005). In addition to providing an indication of the mineralogy and reactivity of the fly ash, the calcium content is also useful in predicting how effective

The fine high-calcium fly ash (d90 < 10 microns) selected from the fourth field of electrostatic precipitator was the source for high strength specimens.

This research involves a preliminary study of high calcium fly ash (HCFA) geopolymer and exploring the potential for textile reinforced mortar (TRM) application. The properties of the HCFA geopolymer added with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were compared with normal cement mortar.

The high calcium content of fly ash leads to the formation of calcium silicate hydrate which coexists with the aluminosilicate geopolymer products [7][8]. The coexistence of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) phase with the geopolymeric gel has been proved to improve …

High-calcium fly ashes contain a large content of small particles including cenospheres of chemical constituents known to be similar to fly ash and the parent coal. Coal fly ash contains metal and trace elements that may leach out during disposal or utilization. This work aimed to understand an overview of cenosphere characteristics relating to fly ash and leaching study.

The CSA A3001 classifies fly ash into three classes, namely, F for calcium oxide content not exceeding 8%, CI for calcium content between 8% to 20%, and CH or calcium content exceeding 20% of the fly ash. High calcium content in a precursor causes the chemical reaction to produce calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), aluminium-modified calcium ...

12%The results of the XRF test are reported in Table 3.Both fly ash samples were found to be high calcium fly ash (class C), with total content of SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3 + Fe 2 O 3 of 67.8% and 66.29% for FA1 and FA2, respectively, and the CaO level of more than 10% and with a very low loss on ignition (LOI) value. FA2 has higher CaO content than FA1.

In this study, high-calcium fly ash (HCFA) together with a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst (FCC), a rich silica-alumina waste material, have been incorporated to develop a new cold asphalt concrete binder course (CACB) bituminous emulsion mixture. HCFA was used as a substitute for traditional limestone filler while FCC was the additive used ...
