Pozzolanic activity quantification of hollow glass microspheres
Abstract Hollow glass microspheres (HGMS) have been widely used in the hydrocarbon industry for cementing wells with low-density slurries. These consist of amorphous siliceous hollow spheres filled with gas, providing a low-density material with high compressive strength. The present study aims to characterize the interaction between HGMS and the cement paste, focusing mainly on the development of the pozzolanic activity, given the nature of amorphous silica. Thus, two HGMS of different crush strength were studied. HGMS were used as a replacement of total cementitious binder at 10% by weight of cement. The pozzolanic activity was measured with the modified Chapelle test, the portlandite quantification with thermogravimetric analysis, and the strength activity index comparing the compressive strength of hardened cement paste samples. Additionally, isothermal calorimetry analysis, X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy images were obtained. Results demonstrated that HGMS interact with the cement paste initially as nucleation agents and later with a pozzolanic reaction, presenting an activity comparable to that of metakaolin or fly ash.
