Efficient utilization of cementitious materials to produce sustainable blended cement
Abstract To achieve sustainable development of cement industry, cementitious efficiency of different cement clinker and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) fractions, in terms of hydration process and strength contribution ratio, was characterized. The results show that blast furnace slag and steel slag should preferably be arranged in fine fractions due to their desirable hydration processes and high strength contribution ratios. Cement clinker should be positioned in intermediate fraction (8–24μm) due to its proper hydration process. Replacement of cement clinker by SCMs with low activity or inert fillers in coarse fractions was also suggested, because coarse cement clinker fractions gave very low hydration degrees and little strength contribution. Both early and late properties of gap-graded blended cements prepared can be comparable with or higher than those of Portland cement, indicating both cement clinker and SCMs were used more efficiently. These blended cements also give additional cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
