Performance of blended metakaolin/blastfurnace slag alkali-activated mortars
Abstract This paper studies the effect of silicate content on the mechanical and durability-related properties of metakaolin (MK) and metakaolin/blastfurnace slag (BFS) alkaline activated mortars. A reference mortar based on the alkaline activated MK was compared to 60/40 MK/BFS mortars containing different SiO2/Na2O molar ratios in the activator. The properties assessed were compressive strength, porosity (water saturation), porosity and pore size distribution by Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) and water capillary sorption. The microstructure was assessed using SEM and x-ray computerized micro-tomography (μ-CT). Results show that the addition of BFS significantly alters the microstructure of alkali-activated mortars, promoting a reduction of porosity and capillary sorption. In addition, an optimum SiO2/Na2O molar ratio in the activator is required to produce better durability mortars, which however do not necessarily present the highest mechanical strength.
