Effect of waste oyster shell powder on the properties of alkali-activated slag–waste ceramic geopolymers

The ceramic and oyster farming industries produce large amounts of waste ceramics and oyster shells. Meanwhile, alkali-activated materials are less environmentally impacted materials with the potential to replace Portland cement. Adding ceramic powder (CP) and waste oyster shell powder (WOS) to alka...

description The ceramic and oyster farming industries produce large amounts of waste ceramics and oyster shells. Meanwhile, alkali-activated materials are less environmentally impacted materials with the potential to replace Portland cement. Adding ceramic powder (CP) and waste oyster shell powder (WOS) to alkali-activated materials can relieve the pressure on landfills and protect the environment, thereby having important implications. This study aims to add WOS to alkali-activated adhesives and investigate their effects on the properties of the samples. The blast furnace slag and ceramic powder were partially replaced by 0–20 wt% WOS. The specimens for control, 10% WOS, and 20% WOS are named as WOS-0, WOS-10, and WOS-20, respectively. Experimental studies on the compressive strength testing, heat of hydration, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrical resistance rate were performed. The experimental results are as follows: (1) An increase in the WOS substitution rate increased the hydration heat release rate and decreased the compressive strength. At 3 days of age, the compressive strength of the WOS-20 sample decreased by 4.3 MPa compared with the WOS-0 sample. (2) UPV and resistivity decreased with increasing WOS substitution. At 3 days of age, the UPV of the WOS-20 sample decreased by 0.11 km/s compared with the WOS-0 sample. (3) The TG results showed that WOS participated in the alkali-activated reaction. For the WOS-20 sample, the amount of calcium carbonate decreased by 2.9% as the age increased from 3 days to 28 days. (4) XRD and FT-IR spectra showed the intensified carbonate peak with the increase in the WOS content. These findings suggest that CP and WOS can be used as complementary gelling agents for alkali-activated materials.
