Effect of alkali bypass dust on the hydration of granulated blast furnace slag blended cement
- Univ. of Gorakhpur (India). Dept. of Chemistry
The hydration properties of blended cements made from portland cement and a waste material obtained from a Birla White Cement Factory known as an Alkali Bypass Dust were studied. The results showed that 5 to 10 percent addition of this waste material in the portland cement decreased the water requirements, accelerated the hydration, decreased the porosity and increased the compressive strengths at all the ages of hydration. Hydration properties of granulated blast furnace slag blended portland cement in presence of 5% alkali bypass dust have also been studied. The extent of hydration decreased as the amount of slag is increased but the compressive strength values were higher at 28 days.
