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 ...

Effect of fineness in clinker-calcined clays-limestone cements

Karen Scrivener, Mathieu Antoni, Adrian Alujas Diaz, Leng Maday Vizcaino Andres

This paper looks at the effect of fineness of the different components in a blend containing 55% Portland cement, 30% calcined clay and 15% limestone. The calcined clay originates from a natural deposit in Cuba and contains less than 50% kaolinite. The par ...

Role of filling materials in a P-wave interaction with a rock fracture

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of filling materials (e.g., quartz sand and kaolin clay) in the interaction between a P-wave and a rock fracture. The specific fracture stiffness reflects the seismic response of a filled fracture, while ...

Effect of temperature on collapse potential of kaolin clay

Lyesse Laloui, Ali Haghighi

The understanding of the fundamental behaviour of clays subjected to high temperatures is essential when working with clay barriers in nuclear waste storage, drilling of deep offshore wells or using clay liners on landfills. The effect of temperature on th ...

Release kinetics of volatiles from smectite clay minerals

Pascal Clausen

The focus of this thesis was on the mechanisms of release of volatile molecules from smectite clay minerals. The weight loss was monitored by thermogravimetry, differential calorimetry, and mass spectrometry under isothermal conditions and under ramp tempe ...

Adsorption of low-molecular-weight molecules on the surface of a sodium smectite clay: an ab initio study

John Christopher Plummer, Wanda Andreoni, Pascal Clausen, Alessandro Curioni

We present a study of the adsorption of single molecules of volatiles, such as water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, pyridine, toluene, and n-octane, on the dry surface of a smectite clay using a series of calculations based on density functional theory. Our clay ...

Impact of small amounts of swelling clays on the physical properties of debris-flow-like granular materials. Implications for the study of alpine debris flow

Paul Bowen, Pascal Boivin, Eric Bardou

The effect of the small fraction of clays on the rheological behaviour of alpine debris flow is poorly understood. This is partly due to the complexity of the debris flow mineralogy and the broad particle size distribution. This study has investigated this ...
