Properties of tungsten mine waste geopolymeric binder
Tungsten mine waste mud (TMWM) geopolymeric binder is a new cementitious material with a very high early age strength. It is obtained from dehydroxylated mine waste powder mix with minor quantities of calcium hydroxide and activated with NaOH and water-glass solutions. Tests on properties of TMWM binders such as workability, setting time, unrestrained shrinkage, water absorption and static modulus of elasticity were carried out and the results are reported in this paper. This is followed by comparisons with literature related data and a discussion about it. The results showed that current devices use to assess OPC fresh properties are not recommended to evaluate TMWM binders. It has also been found that traditional procedures used to evaluate unrestrained shrinkage may be responsible for misleading results when using those new binders. Water absorption data shows that TMWM has a very compacted structure. Results concerning the static modulus of elasticity are similar to the ones obtained by other authors. However the hypothesis related to modulus of elasticity decrease due to the use of high Al/Si alkali activated mixtures was not confirmed.
