Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions for forming an alkali-activated concrete material and to a method of forming an alkali-activated concrete material.
  • the present invention relates to compositions and methods that make use of a binder comprising ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and clay filter cake (CFC).
  • GGBS ground granulated blast furnace slag
  • CFC clay filter cake
  • the present invention also relates to the use of the alkali-activated concrete material in construction.
  • Concrete traditionally comprises a mixture of aggregates and paste.
  • the paste coats the surface of the aggregates and binds them together into a solid mass, i.e. concrete.
  • the paste typically comprises cement and water, which react via a chemical reaction known as hydration. This chemical reaction causes the paste to harden and gain strength.
  • Geopolymer binders have been proposed as alternatives to cement. Geopolymers are formed by mixing an alumina-silicate precursor with an alkaline solution and may be considered as alkali-activated materials. The development of geopolymer binders is attractive as they can typically provide adequate strength in a very short curing time, whilst maintaining mechanical properties such as durability in the final concrete product.
  • Clay filter cake is produced by a process including screening, breaking and crushing construction and demolition wastes to extract recycled construction materials. This process includes washing the recycled materials to remove clay and other fine particles. This generates high amounts of clay waste which is typically filter pressed to remove residual water and produce clay filter cake. If the clay filter cake cannot be put to any use, it is disposed of at landfill sites. It is therefore desirable to make use of the clay waste/clay filter cake to remove or reduce the need for such disposal.
