Abstract
In this study, the evaluation of aluminium dross from secondary aluminium production in calcium aluminate cement was investigated. Salt compounds were removed significantly from the secondary aluminium dross by washing. Mixtures of washed dross and quicklime were prepared to obtain a cement additive by considering the standard cement with low alumina and they were sintered at 1250 °C for 5 h. The phases of mayenite, monocalcium aluminate, grossite, gehlenite, larnite, periclase and spinel were detected in the sintered samples using an X-ray diffraction analysis. Tests of the normal consistency, setting time and compressive strength were carried out at replacement levels of (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5) w/% of the cement additive to determine the physical properties of the cement paste/mortar. Increasing the level of the cement additive in the commercial calcium aluminate cement (ISIDAC 40) accelerated the setting time of the mortar and decreased workability.
