Waste fly ash (WFA) and secondary aluminum dross (SAD) are common solid wastes inducing environmental pollution. These materials contain certain active substances that can be used in cement-based materials. Therefore, cement concrete can be used to solidify these solid wastes. In this study, the influence of the assembly unit of secondary aluminum dross (SAD) and waste fly ash (WFA) on the properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is investigated. The slump flow, the plastic viscosity, the yield shear stress, and the initial setting time of fresh UHPC are measured. Moreover, the flexural and compressive strengths and the dry shrinkage rate (DSR) are determined. The electrical resistance and reactance are tested. The electron microscopy spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and X-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD) curves are obtained for revealing the mechanism of macroscopic performances. Results show that due to the optimal specific surface area and the volcanic ash effect, the UHPC with the assembly unit of 50% SAD and 50% WFA provides the highest slump flow, DSR, and mechanical strengths, while the corresponding plastic viscosity, yield shear stress, and electrical resistance are the lowest. The SAD can delay the setting time of UHPC. The relationship between the electrical resistance or the electrical reactance and the mass ratio of SAD accords with the quadratic function. The corresponding electrical resistance is the lowest. The relationship between the mechanical strengths and the electrical resistance fits with the cubic function. The leaching amounts of Zn and Cr increase in the form of cubic function with the immersing time. Meanwhile, the SAD can decrease the Zn and Cr by 0%–46.3% and 0%–45.2% respectively. As obtained from the EDS results, the element of Al is increased by adding SAD. The XRD curves show that the crystals of Al2O3 are increased and the SiO2 crystals are decreased by the added SAD. UHPC with 50% SAD exhibits the highest compact microstructures and the least Ca(OH)2 and 3CaO·SiO2 hydration products. The TG results show that UHPC with 50% SAD shows the lowest TG values of all the groups. This research will provide new UHPC materials and techniques applied in solidifying the WFA and SAD in the future. Full article

Secondary aluminum ash (SAA) is a common waste that, without reasonable treatment, results in pollution to the environment. A large amount of CO2 is emitted by human activities every day. If the CO2 cannot be treated in a timely manner, it will accelerate the greenhouse effect and pollute the environment. The CO2 curing on the surface of SAA can reduce excess CO2 emissions while improving the performance of the SAA. The application of CO2-cured SAA can simultaneously consume the emitted CO2 and solidify the SAA. In this article, the effect of CO2-cured secondary aluminum ash on the rheological properties, the initial setting time, the flexural strength (ft), the compressive strength (fcu) of reactive powder concrete (RPC), and the corresponding dry shrinkage rate (DSR) are investigated. Meanwhile, the capillary water absorption, the chloride ion migration coefficient (CMC), and the carbonization depth of RPC are determined. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the X-ray diffraction spectrum curves are selected to reveal the mechanism of the macro performance. Results indicate that CO2-cured secondary aluminum ash can increase the fluidity and decrease the plastic viscosity of fresh RPC. The initial setting time is increased by the CO2 curing. CO2-cured secondary aluminum ash can increase the ft and fcu by (0%~26.3% and 0% to 68.7%), respectively. The DSR is increased by adding secondary aluminum ash with an increasing rate of 0% to 91.3%. The capillary water absorption of RPC increases in the form of a linear function. The CMC and the carbonization depth of RPC are decreased by adding the CO2-cured secondary aluminum ash with decreasing rates of 0%~46.7% and 0%~45.7%. The CO2-cured secondary aluminum ash can make the hydration more compact and increased increase the hydration products (Ca(OH)2). Full article

In order to prepare cement concrete with high mechanical properties and durability, nano-stainless steel powder reactive powder cement concrete (RPC) was manufactured. The dosage of nano-stainless steel powder ranged from 0% to 1.2% by the total volume of the RPC. In this study, the compressive and flexural strengths of the RPC with nano-stainless steel powder were determined, the dry shrinkage rate of the RPC was tested and the electrical resistance and alternating current (AC) impedance spectrum of the RPC were measured; moreover, the corresponding strain-sensing properties were investigated, and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for observing the microstructures of the RPC. The results showed that the RPC with 1.0% nano-stainless steel powder exhibited the threshold values of the mechanical strengths. The maximum flexural strength and compressive strength were 16.1% and 14.2% higher than the minimum values. The addition of the nano-stainless steel powders reduced the dry shrinkage rate by 12.1%–39.8%. The electrical resistance of the RPC decreased in the form of the cubic function with the volume fraction of the stainless steel powders. The 1.0% nano-stainless steel powder was the threshold value for the electrical resistance and piezoresistive performance. The relationship between the electrical reactance and electrical resistance fitted well with the quadratic function. As obtained from the SEM results, the addition of the nano-stainless steel powder could effectively improve the compactness of the hydration products. Full article

Boiler cinder is a kind of mining waste that may cause environmental pollution. Based on this reason, a processing method needs to be carried out. In this study, the influence of CO2-cured boiler cinder on the compressive and flexural strengths of reactive powder cement concrete (RPC) under NaCl actions is investigated. The mass loss rates (MLR) and the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) are measured to reflect the resistance of NaCl erosion. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum are obtained for revealing the mechanism of the macro performance. Results show that the relationship between the MLR and the mass ratio of CO2-cured boiler cinder fits the quadratic function with NaCl erosion. Meanwhile, the MLR during NaCl action are decreased by increasing the amount of CO2-cured boiler cinder. The MLR range from 0% to 5.3% during NaCl action, and the decreasing rate of MLR by CO2 curing on boiler cinder is 0%–51.3%. The function of RDME and the mass ratio of CO2-cured boiler cinder accords with the positive correlation quadratic function. The mechanical strengths decrease when NaCl erosion is encountered. The mechanical strengths’ decreasing rates of RPC are elevated with the increasing number of NaCl freeze–thaw cycles and the NaCl dry–wet alternations. The increasing rates of flexural and compressive strengths of RPC by 13.1%–36.3% and 11.2%–50.4% are achieved by adding CO2-cured boiler cinder. As observed from the TGA and SEM’s results, the addition of CO2-cured boiler cinder can increase the thermogravimetric value and the compactness of hydration products. Full article

Iron tailings powder (ITP) is a kind of solid waste, which pollutes the environment, without any treatment. The application of ITP in cement concrete is a good choice. In this study, the influence of ITP on the flowability, compressive strength, chloride ion permeability and the attenuation of the performance of cement concrete during freeze–thaw cycle (F-T) damage are investigated. An X-ray diffraction, an analysis of the pores and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) are obtained to analyze the mechanism of cement concrete’s performance. The results show that the addition of ITP can decrease the flowability of fresh cement concrete. Cement concrete with a 7% ITP to mass ratio of the total aggregate shows the highest compressive strength and the minimum chloride ion permeability. The relative dynamic modulus of the elasticity of the specimens with 7% ITP during the F-T is the highest. The corresponding mass loss rate is the lowest. The mercury intrusion analysis results show that the pore volume of the specimens with 7% ITP is the lowest. The SEM results confirm that the specimens with 7% ITP show the densest microstructures.
