Portland cement foam concrete with a zeolite-containing mineral additive

Abstract

Abstract The possibility of obtaining high-quality cement by an environmentally friendly (without CO2 emission into the atmosphere) method of joint grinding of imported Portland cement clinker and local natural mineral raw materials in hard-to-reach areas of the North-East of the Russian Federation is substantiated. The results of an experimental study of the compositions and technological parameters of the manufacture of cement compositions based on portland cement clinker and active mineral additives from zeolite-containing rocks of Khonguruu, allowing non-autoclaved foam concrete with a density of 600-800 kg / m3 and compressive strength of 1,8-2,8 MPa with stable quality parameters are presented (monodisperse pore distribution and hardened inter-pore skeleton, providing stable values of density, strength and thermal conductivity).
