Orthogonal Experiment Design and Analysis of Compound Activator

Abstract:

According to the intuitive analysis and variance analysis of L₁₆ (4⁵) orthogonal experiment, the activity of slag was investigated on component of compound activator and mixing amount with the compressive strength as evaluation standard of various influencing factors. The results show that the range of anhydrous sodium sulfate (NS) was maximum, clinker (NL) comes second and lime (NH) was minimum, which means that primary and secondary of compound activator to the compressive strength of slag cementations material was NS>NL>NH, and the better activated effects can be obtained as NS=4%, NL=0.6% and NH=0.6%.
