Assessing the Effect of Calcite Impurities in Clay on Optimal Dehydroxylation Parameters for Enhanced Reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This study focused on understanding the influence of different amounts of calcite impurities (0 to 10% by mass) on the optimal parameters for clay dehydroxylation and the reactivity of the final calcined clay. A surface response experimental design was use ...

Reactivity and Performance of Limestone Calcined-Clay Cement (LC3) Cured at Low Temperature

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Limestone calcined-clay cements (LC3) take advantage of the synergetic effects of calcium carbonate reaction with the additional aluminium provided by the calcined clay. As temperature decreases, calcium carbonate solubility increase, therefore, the early- ...

Autogenous Shrinkage and Creep of Limestone and Calcined Clay Based Binders

Karen Scrivener, Julien Ston, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

This study explored the delayed strains in limestone and calcined clay ternary blends. Autogenous shrinkage measurements are carried out over 2 months and compressive basic creep tests during 28 days after one month of curing. All tests are done using mixe ...

Alkali Silica Reaction and Sulfate Attack: Expansion of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement

Karen Scrivener, Aurélie Rosine Favier

In this paper, two durability issues: Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) and external sulfate attack were studied. The results of expansion were presented for a Normal Portland cement and a blended cement LC3 containing calcined clay and limestone as supplementa ...

Effect of replacement of silica fume with calcined clay on the hydration and microstructural development of eco-UHPFRC

Wei Sun, Karen Scrivener, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab

In this paper, the replacement of high cost silica fume with calcined clay was investigated in UHPFRC mixes. The impact of two grades of calcined clay on the hydration and microstructural development of UHPFRC matrices was investigated, where 54% of the ce ...

Investigation of the grade of calcined clays used as clinker substitute in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)

François Henri Avet

The combination of calcined kaolinitic clays and limestone in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) is a promising approach to reduce the cost and the CO2 emissions of cement production by reducing the clinker content of cement. This thesis investigates the ...

Superparamagnetic nanohybrids with cross-linked polymers providing higher in vitro stability

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

A simple, rapid, reproducible, and scalable method for generating highly stable cross-linked superparamagnetic nanohybrids was developed. Pre-coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces with a biocompatible polymer, hydroxy polyvinyl alco ...

Effect of fineness in clinker-calcined clays-limestone cements

Karen Scrivener, Mathieu Antoni

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 ...

Hydrothermally-treated Na-X as efficient adsorbents for butadiene removal

Lioubov Kiwi, Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Guillaume Bastien Baur

An efficient adsorbent for butadiene was synthesized via soft hydrothermal treatment (2 h in boiling water followed by 1 h calcination at 573 K) of industrial Na-X. The adsorption capacity of the zeolite was studied in the low concentration range (20–300 p ...

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

Karen Scrivener

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 ...

The existence of amorphous phase in Portland cements: Physical factors affecting Rietveld quantitative phase analysis

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Amélie Bazzoni

Rietveld quantitative phase analysis has become a widespread tool for the characterization of Portland cement, both for research and production control purposes. One of the major remaining points of debate is whether Portland cements contain amorphous cont ...
