Recycling utilization of phosphogypsum in eco excess-sulphate cement: Synergistic effects of metakaolin and slag additives on hydration, strength and microstructure
Landfilled phosphogypsum would cause severe environmental issues, but the waste can be recycled for preparing excess-sulphate cement, an eco-friendly alternative to conventional cement. This paper investigates the effect of metakaolin (0–50%) on early hydration, phase assemblages and mechanical properties of the excess-sulphate phosphogypsum cementitious materials (ESPCMs). Results indicate that metakaolin is related to a new exothermic peak and significantly shortens the induction period. Setting time of ESPCM pastes is reduced by 13%–38% with 10%–50% dosage of metakaolin. More ettringite and highly disordered C-(A)-S-H gel are characterised when metakaolin dosage is below 20%, leading to 70% increase in 28-d compressive strength. With above 20% metakaolin dosage, portlandite consumption at early stage is promoted and hydration degree at late state is reduced. It turns out that within 20% metakaolin dosage is efficient to optimise setting time and strength development of ESPCMs, where slag and metakaolin synergistically promote the formation of ettringite and C-(A)-S-H gel to bind the unhydrated cement particles effectively.
