In order to solve the problems of quick setting time and poor safety when using strong alkali activator such as sodium hydroxide in alkali-activated slag-fly ash cementitious system, a compound activator with the amount of substance ratio of lime to sodium sulfate of 1∶1 was used to activate the slag-fly ash cementitious system. The effects of activator dosage and fly ash content on the properties of lime-sodium sulfate compound-activated slag-fly ash cementitious system were analyzed. The hydration products and hydration process of the cementitious system were explored by XRD and other detection methods. The results show that the composite activator composed of lime and sodium sulfate can replace sodium hydroxide to activate the cementitious system of slag-fly ash, and the fluidity and setting time of the cementitious system can be controlled. The optimal dosage of the composite activator in the cementitious system is 10%, and when the fly ash content is less than 50%, the 28 d compressive strength of the cementitious system is above 36MPa. Lime-sodium sulfate compound activator can effectively destroy the shell of fly ash, promote fly ash to participate in the hydration reaction of cementitious system, and enhance the later compressive strength of cementitious system. C-(A)-S-H gel and ettringite cement slag and fly ash with different reaction degrees and particle sizes to form a compact matrix structure, which provides the main compressive strength for the cementitious system. This study provides a reference for the preparation of noval low-carbon cementitious materials.
硅酸盐水泥是当今世界上使用范围最广的胶凝材料,但其“两磨一烧”的生产工艺具有高污染、高能耗等缺点,且水泥生产会大量消耗石灰石、黏土等自然资源,研究表明,每生产1 t硅酸盐水泥将会释放0.8 t CO2,硅酸盐水泥生产产生的CO2约占全球CO2排放量的8%~9%,能源消耗占总消耗的2%~3%[1].与硅酸盐水泥相比,碱激发胶凝材料碳排放量可以减少55%~75%,而且原料来源广泛,近年来受到研究者的广泛关注[2-3].
