摘要

Steel slag (SS) has been largely discharged but little utilized, causing an environmental problem in China. In this paper, SS-based composite cementitious materials with high strength were prepared by the high volume of SS (≥40%), granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS), fly ash (FA), flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) and cement to promote the effective utilization of SS. The hydration and hardening properties were studied through setting time, compressive strength, length change, isothermal calorimetry (IC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) tests. The results show that SS-based composite cementitious material exhibited a lower hydration heat release, an appropriate setting time, and volume stability. The SS cementitious material with 40% SS could obtain high strength of over 65 MPa at 28 days and 80 MPa at 90 days. The strength value of > 60 MPa is present in the binder, with 50% SS at 56 days. GBFS promotes hydration reactions and the formation of AFt and C-(A)-S-H gel, thus enhancing compressive strength. FA has a beneficial effect on later strength. The small and fine pore structures contribute to the development of strength. The main hydration products of SS composite cementitious materials are C-(A)-S-H gel, and ettringite (AFt), with less Ca(OH)2. The C-(A)-S-H gel with a lower Ca/Si ratio and a higher Al/Ca ratio in cementitious material, promotes mechanical properties.
