X-ray Diffraction of Alkali-Activated Materials with Cement By-Pass Dust

Abstract

Alkali-activated materials are alternative building binders, where secondary raw materials are processed. The possibility of using landfilled waste materials in the building industry increases their potential application in construction practice, and they are therefore subject to extensive research, especially in recent years. This paper briefly summarizes the interesting results of an experiment aimed at verifying the possibility of applying cement by-pass dust (CBPD) in the preparation of alkali-activated materials. The research was focused on the possibilities of using these wastes for the preparation of small elements of garden architecture. This work also briefly summarized the interesting results of an experiment aimed at verifying the possibility of applying cement by-pass dust (CBPD) in the preparation of alkali-activated materials. In the experiment, a mixture of blast furnace granulated slag, fly ash and cement by-pass dust was alkali activated with sodium metasilicate.
