Chapter 2 Mineralogical quantification of cements, wastes and supplementary cementitious materials
-
Sabrina Galluccio
Abstract
The reduction of CO2 during the production process of cementitious materials plays a very important role, as enormous amounts of carbon dioxide are produced during the decarbonisation process of limestone. For this reason, many carbonate-free raw materials are investigated as replacement and supplementary cementitious materials coming from industry, the processing industry and also from primary industries, but natural materials are also investigated. These inorganic-based materials consist of many different cristalline and amorphous components. In order to understand their reaction behaviour and the overall compositions, different mixtures of supplementary cementitious materials (metakaolin, fly ash, limestone, slags) and cements are under investigation. All these different and very complex mixtures have to be characterized in order to ensure the optimum quality of these cementitious mixtures. For these mineralogical quantifications, different determination methods were applied to quantify the different mineralogical phases. These methods include the determination of amorphous contents, the Rietveld Analysis, the Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) method, the Cluster Analysis with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Partial Or Not Known Crystal Structure method (PONKCS).
