Description
Summary:Based on coal gangue, sintered red mud, and fly ash, which are primary industrial waste products, a high-performance cementitious material was developed that considered its composition, physical and chemical properties, and microstructure. The optimal ratio of the materials with an appropriate exciter content was determined through the production and testing of samples composed of various ratios. It was found that the compressive strength reached its maximum when the ratio of coal gangue: red mud: fly ash was 40:40:20 and the exciter content was 8%. The synergistic effect of the waste-based cementitious material and the exciter content was confirmed, which lays a foundation for the development of diverse waste-based industrial materials. The use of such materials helps reduce abandoned industrial waste and encourages the recycling of materials for various purposes.
