Experimental Study on High Strength Composite Ceramsite Using Fly Ash and Waste Glass

Abstract:

The high strength composite ceramsite was prepared by using fly ash and waste glass as main raw materials and some admixtures such as binder and bubble-forming agent. The suitable technological condition of preparing high strength composite ceramsite was given by studying the influence of the different mix proportions and different sintering systems on the properties of ceramsite. The test results indicate that the compressive strength in cylinder of high strength composite ceramsite which was prepared under certain technological condition can reach 9.9MPa and its bulk density is 974Kg/m³ and the water absorption in one hour is 3.6%. The XRD(X Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses show that a large number of amorphous gel phases which affect the strength of ceramsite were produced in the process of sintering fly ash and waste glass and abundant even bubbles were formed inside of the ceramsite.
