Oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) impurities in kaolinitic clays after calcination

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Valorisation of locally available clays for producing blended cements is crucial for a widespread adoption of sustainable binders incorporating these materials. In some places, clays can be intermixed with small amounts of iron sulfides, which could eventu ...

Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3): raw material processing, sulfate balance and hydration kinetics

Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) are blended cements that combine clinker, limestone, calcined clay and gypsum. The availability of the materials required to produce LC3 and the good performance that it achieves, makes LC3 suitable as a sustainable re ...

Effect of surface films on tribologically induced metallurgical transformations of steel in oil lubricated contacts

Marco Cantoni, Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

This study was initiated with the aim to assess the influence of boundary films on the tribologically induced metallurgical transformations and deformations of metals in lubricated contacts and their effect on wear. For this, the tribological behavior of a ...

Pozzolanic reactivity of low grade kaolinitic clays: Influence of calcination temperature and impact of calcination products on OPC hydration

Karen Scrivener, Adrian Alujas Diaz, Rodrigo Fernandez Lopez

The influence of thermal activation temperature in the pozzolanic reactivity of low grade kaolinitic clay and the impact of calcination products in OPC hydration are assessed in this paper. The raw material, with approximately 40% kaolinite and 40% of 2:1 ...

Anode dusting during the electrolytic production of aluminium

Timea Tordai

The disintegration of the carbon anodes during the electrolysis of alumina produces dust particles contaminating the electrolytic bath. This phenomenon, called dusting, is one of the most deleterious Al electrolysis failures, as it leads to a significant d ...

Gasification reactivity of charcoal with CO2. Part II: Metal catalysis as a function of conversion

Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

The catalytic influence of major metal species found with waste wood (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Pb, Cu) was studied during the gasification of nitrate salt impregnated charcoal with CO2 at 800degreesC in the kinetically controlled regime. In contrast with literat ...

Gasification reactivity of charcoal with CO2. Part I: Conversion and structural phenomena

Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

The gasification reaction of fir charcoal with CO2 was studied by isothermal thermogravimetric analysis under kinetic control. The derived reaction rate (r = dX/dt) as a function of the converted carbon mass (X) was compared with random pore model predicti ...
