Specifics of Structure Formation of Cement Stone with Silica Raw Material - A Substrate of Photocatalytic Composite Material

Abstract:

The increasing urbanization of urban areas poses the challenge of the development of materials capable of self-cleaning from organic pollutants formed. Previous papers substantiated the possibility of the coating of titanium oxide as the main agent of the photocatalytic method of cleaning structural materials on silica raw materials in order to increase the degree of its distribution in the volume of cement matrix and, as a result, increase its efficiency.It is obvious that a silica substrate will affect the processes of structure formation during hardening of a cement matrix. During the research, the processes of phase transformations of cement stone modified with silica raw materials of natural and technogenic origin were studied. As a result, the influence of siliceous modifiers on the strength characteristics of the cement stone was determined, which allowed ranking them according to the degree of decrease in efficiency as follows: technogenic raw materials; natural raw materials of silicate composition; natural raw materials of aluminosilicate composition. Quantitative assessments of the degree of efficiency showed the irrationality of using aluminosilicate composition as a silica modifier of natural raw materials, which is explained by its low pozzolanic activity.
