Abstract
In the search for CO2 mitigating cement technologies, alkali-activated Fe-rich slags present a possible alternative. The influence of the chemical composition of the synthetic Fe-silicate slag on the reaction mechanisms is assessed by varying the CaO/FeO molar ratio. The alkali-activated Fe-rich slags consist of trioctahedral layers that are shown to be hydroxylated and in contact with silicates, in a similar way to phyllosilicate minerals. The formation of this phyllosilicate-like structure is hindered during the first days for samples with high CaO/FeO ratios, because of the partial incorporation of Ca in the trioctahedral layers. At later ages, the samples with higher CaO/FeO ratios gain in reaction extent, to exceed the reaction extent of low CaO/FeO ratios at 28 days and beyond. The increase in compressive strength is even more pronounced than the effect on the reaction extent, which underlines the importance of Ca on the inherent strength of the binding phases.
