To the benefit of gold minerals, extraction processes are generally applied by carrying out cyanidation and subsequent smelting to obtain dore thereby generating slags. The properties of the slag obtained vary depending ...

Samples of ASTM A-706 structural steel embedded in different concretes obtained from mixtures of alkali-activated steel slag and fly ash were exposed to accelerated carbonation under controlled conditions (4% CO2, 65% RH ...

This study focuses on the technical feasibility of the utilization of waste from the cutting of granite to adjust the chemical composition of slag from steelworks LD, targeting the addition of clinker Portland cement. For ...

The Chilean copper smelters are producing large amount of copper slags. These copper slags are deposited at landfills. In the present time, a huge amount of copper slags are accumulated in Chile. The main problem with ...

In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the development of special cements that can reduce CO2 emissions and energy and the consumption of limestone. Supersulfated cement are mainly composed of blast ...

This research focused on portland blast-furnace slag cement high-performance concrete (HPC), with specified 28-day compressive strengths between 60 to 110 MPa. Compressive and flexural strength, elastic modulus, abrasion ...

The electrical resistivity is an important concrete property that allows evaluating the access facility of aggressive agents before the corrosion process begins and estimates the velocity of the same process after it begun. ...

Portland cement is one of the most used products in construction. However, its production process causes some irreversible environmental impacts. Studies to minimize the environmental impacts caused by Portaland Cement ...

Structural concretes must have a set of chemical characteristics to present a satisfactory resistance to the degradation in environment conditions. Besides the several types of mineralogical compositions, the calcium-rich ...
