Preparation and Performance Characterization of Active Coal Gangue Powder (ACGP) Used for Cement Admixture

Abstract:

Two kinds of high active coal gangue powder (ACGP) were prepared by heat treated and ball milled coal gangue. The density, fineness, Loss on ignition (LOI), activity and influence of the fineness of the two kinds of ACGP on the density and I/W (compressive strength to weight of the foam concrete specimens) of foam concrete were also studied in this paper. The results show that the density and I/W of the foam concrete were greatly affected by the fineness of ACGP. The finer of the ACGP, the lower density and higher I/W of the coal gangue foam concrete will be got. Based on the experimental results, a method to evaluate the activity of active powder used for cement admixture is proposed and the activity of the ACGP is also evaluated.
