Mechanism for performance of energetically modified cement versus corresponding blended cement
The microstructure of cement paste of 50/50 mixes of cement/quartz and cement/fly ash, both ground in a special mill (energetically modified cement (EMC) process) and simply blended, have been studied under sealed curing conditions. The grinding process reduced the size of both cement grains and quartz/fly ash markedly and created flaky agglomerates of high inner surface for the finer particles. EMCs had much higher degree of hydration at 1 day, but similar as blends at 28 days. The pores were much finer for EMC paste due to smaller particles as also reflected in the strength. The morphology of calcium hydroxide in EMC paste appeared more mass like. Pozzolanic reaction was insignificant for quartz in EMC, but increased for fly ash. Thus, improved performance of EMC versus OPC can be explained by increased early hydration and extensive pore size refinement of the hardened binder resulting in reduced permeability and diffusivity for concrete.
