Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sulfate (${SO_4}^{2-}$) and magnesium ($Mg^{2+}$) ions on sulfate resistance of Alkali-activated materials using Fly ash and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). In this research, 30%, 50% and 100% of GGBFS was replaced by sodium silicate modules ($Ms(SiO_2/Na_2O)$, molar ratio, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0). In order to investigate the effects of $Mg^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$, compression strength, weight change, lengh expansion of the samples were measured in 10% sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$), 10%, 5% and 2.5% magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4$), 10% magnesium nitrate ($Mg(NO_3)_2$), 10% [magnesium chloride ($MgCl_2$) + sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$)] and 10% [magnesium nitrate $(Mg(NO_3)_2$ + sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$)] solution, respectively and X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted after each experiment. As a result, when $Mg^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ coexist, degradation of compressive strength and expansion of the sample were caused by sulfate erosion. It was found that the reaction of $Mg^{2+}$ with Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) occurred and $Ca^{2+}$ was produced. Then the Gypsum ($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$) was formed due to reaction between $Ca^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$, and also Magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$, Brucite) was produced by the reaction between $Mg^{2+}$ and $OH^-$.

본 연구의 목적은 플라이애시 및 고로슬래그 미분말로 제조한 알칼리 활성화 결합재 모르타르의 황산염 저항성에 미치는 마그네슘(Magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$) 및 황산(Sulfate, ${SO_4}^{2-}$) 이온의 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 고로슬래그 미분말 치환율을 30%, 50% 및 100%, $SiO_2$와 $Na_2O$의 몰 비($SiO_2/Na_2O$ molar ratio, Ms)를 1.0, 1.5 및 2.0으로 조정한 시험체를 제작하였다. 그리고 $Mg^{2+}$ 및 ${SO_4}^{2-}$의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 $Mg^{2+}$ 단독(10% $Mg(NO_3)_2$), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 단독(10% $Na_2SO_4$), $Mg^{2+}$ 및 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 복합(10% [$MgCl_2+Na_2SO_4$], 10% [$Mg(NO_3)_2+Na_2SO_4$]) 및 $MgSO_4$ 수용액(10%, 5% 및 2.5% $MgSO_4$)의 조건에서 압축강도, 길이변화, 질량변화 및 X선 회절 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 ${SO_4}^{2-}$가 공존하는 경우에만 황산염 침식에 의한 강도저하 및 팽창 등이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 현상은 $Mg^{2+}$이 규산칼슘 수화물(Calcium Silicate Hydrate, C-S-H)을 분해하여 $Ca^{2+}$이 용출되고, 용출된 $Ca^{2+}$과 ${SO_4}^{2-}$가 결합하여 석고($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, Gypsum)를 생성하고, $Mg^{2+}$과 OH가 결합하여 수산화마그네슘(Magnesium hydroxide, $Mg(OH)_2$, Brucite)을 생성하는 것에 기인하는 것을 확인하였다.
