This research explores the possibility of using low-activity high alumina ferronickel slag (FS), carbide slag, and hemihydrate phosphogypsum (HG) to create supersulfated cement (SSC). The study investigates the impact of HG dosage and FS fineness on the hydration and compressive strength of SSC-FS. The findings suggest that adjusting HG dosage and FS fineness can lead to high mechanical strength at room temperature.
This research aims to explore the feasibility of using low-activity high alumina ferronickel slag (FS), carbide slag and hemihydrate phosphogypsum (HG) as main ingredients to fabricate supersulfated cement (SSC). The effect of HG dosage and FS fineness on hydration and compressive strength of SSC-FS was systematically investigated. Experimental results indicated that high mechanical strength can be achieved at ambient temperature by adjusting HG dosage and FS fineness. Increase in HG dosage postpones the initial formation of hydrates to some extent, but the amount of the final hydration products is promoted to generate higher mechanical strength. FS with smaller particle size has higher reaction activity that significantly accelerates the hydration process of SSC, leading to higher compressive strength and smaller volume expansion of SSC, and more ettringite crystals with smallish morphology formed in the pastes. If the particle size of FS is too small, however, ettringite crystals tend to precipitate at the surface of FS particles, which is unfavorable for the development of microstructure and will restrict the generation of C-S-H, thus resulting in a decrease in compressive strength and an increase in volume expansion.
