The reaction between metakaolin and limestone and its effect in porosity refinement and mechanical properties

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

n limestone calcined clay cements (LC3), more hemicarboaluminate and monocarboaluminate is observed, as compared to other blended cements, from the reaction of metakaolin with limestone. In this study, it is shown that the formation of these carboaluminate ...

Assessing the effect of alkanolamine grinding aids in limestone calcined clay cements hydration

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Grinding aids are commonly used in cement manufacture to reduce electrostatic forces between powder particles and reduce agglomeration. Alkanolamines are known to also influence the hydration of the aluminate phases in cement. This study assessed the effec ...

Factors influencing the sulfate balance in pure phase C3S/C(3)A systems

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Understanding the sulfate balance mechanism of cement is needed for an effective use of sustainable blended cements. Pure phase systems allow to study the interaction between sulfate and each of the phases involved in early age hydration separately. This p ...

The impact of calcite impurities in clays containing kaolinite on their reactivity in cement after calcination

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

The use of supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement for Portland cement is the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry. Raw clays containing kaolinite (kaolin) are promising substitute materials. In t ...

Increasing the kaolinite content of raw clays using particle classification techniques for use as supplementary cementitious materials

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

The adoption of blended cements to reduce the carbon footprint has increased significantly over the last decades. Clays containing kaolinite are a promising choice due to their widespread availability. Kaolinite content is the major factor controlling the ...

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 ...

The influence of the filler effect on the sulfate requirement of blended cements

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

In some blended cements, the optimum amount of sulfate addition differs from that observed in OPC. This study aims to understand the mechanism behind the impact of two SCMs, namely metakaolin and limestone, on the sulfate balance of blended cements. No sig ...

Impacting factors and properties of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Julien Ston, François Henri Avet, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Wilasinee Hanpongpun, Hamed Maraghechi, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This paper details the main factors influencing the performance of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3). The kaolinite content plays a major role in the rheological properties as well as strength development. Even in the presence of secondary phases, kaol ...

The Effect of Limestone on the Performance of Ternary Blended Cement LC3: Limestone, Calcined Clays and Cement

Karen Scrivener, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Ioannis Katrantzis, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This project explores the influence of different particle size distributions of limestone on the workability and early-age strength development of LC3 materials. To quantify, and subsequently optimize, the packing, the modified Andreasen and Andersen model ...

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- ...

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 ...
