Highlights ASR is characterized with properties suitable for admixture in cementitious composites. ASR has an adverse effect on the flowability and setting of MOC mixture. 5 Mg(OH)2∙MgCl2·8H2O fades away gradually with the increase of ASR dosages. Free deformation of MOC is largely increased in the presence of ASR.
Abstract Ammonia-soda residues (ASR), by-products from ammonia-soda factories, inevitably cause severe water pollution and soil contamination due to their strong alkaline features and polluting elements such as magnesium. The current recycling efficiency of these residues is quite low, only 3–4% in China, which calls for urgent improvement. This study focuses on the feasibility of reusing ASR in magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) products. Initially, characteristics of ASR including physical/chemical properties were investigated. Then, impact of ASR on the fluidity and mechanical performance of MOC pastes were experimentally researched and analyzed according to microstructure observations. Results show that ASR is generally characterized with small particle size (95.8% <30 μm) and high specific surface area (598.3 m2/kg). The main components of ASR tested are CaCO3, gypsum, Mg(OH)2 and CaCl2·2H2O. When added in MOC pastes, ASR decreases the flowability and strength but accelerates the setting process. The free deformation of the composite is found largely increased in the presence of over 20 wt% ASR. Herein, MOC pastes with 10 wt% ASR exhibited reasonable strength and moderate expansion ratio as per corresponding product codes. Technical route of reutilizing ASR in MOC was found rational and feasible, since Mg in ASR causes little adverse effect on MOC pastes. To be noticed, consumption of the residues might be further improved if the expansion of ASR-MOC is effectively mitigated.
