Evaluation of lignite combustion residues as cement additives
In this study the physical and chemical properties of lignite fly ashes obtained from electrostatic precipitator and cyclone, lignite bottom ash, cement + lignite ash mixtures, and their effects on mechanical properties of concrete were investigated. The ashes were classified into two general types based on total silica, alumina, and iron-III oxide: class A and class B. When 25% of the cement was replaced by class A lignite bottom ash (the combined three oxide contents were 30.2%), the 28-day compressive strength increased by 18.9% compared to the control mix, and when 25% of the cement was replaced by class B lignite ash (the combined three oxide contents were 78.1%), the compressive strength decreased by 3.5% compared to the control mix. The results obtained were compared with the Turkish Standards and, in general, were found to be within the limits. As a result, the lignite fly ash and bottom ash samples may be used as cementitious materials.
