CaSO3and CaO are main components in solid waste from flue gas semi-dry desulfurization process. A series of slag cements were prepared from cement clinker and blast furnace slag, in the process of which CaSO3 and CaO were added. The composition and macrostructure of the derived cements were studied in detail with the aid of XRD and SEM. Furthermore, the influence of amount of CaSO3and CaO on the mechanical properties and setting time for slag cement were evaluated, the mechanisms of which were also discussed. The results show that due to the formation of AFt and AFm in the hydration process, the CaSO3has an obvious setting retarding effect on the slag cement, and quality slag cement can be obtained when the amount of slag and CaSO3are 20% and 2%, respectively, the compressive strengths of which at 3, 7, 28 d are 30.8, 39.1, 53.7 MPa, and bending strengths at 3, 7, 28 d are 9.6, 10, 11.9MPa, respectively. Besides, CaO added which can play a role of alkali-activator for slag cement can not cause the soundness problem of slag cement.
A series of sorbents for SO2 in flue gas were prepared from hydrated lime and blast furnace slag
using a factorial experiment design. It is found that the reaction between hydrated lime and blast furnace
slag is fast. The reactivities of the as-prepared sorbents are higher than those of hydrated lime alone due to
the formation of calcium silicate hydrates, and hence the utilization of hydrated lime as well as the Ca in
the blast furnace slag is improved. Furthermore, the effects of preparation variables on the reactivity of
the sorbents are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
