This study investigated the effect of alkaline activators - NaOH_aq (NH) (NH: 0-16 M) and Na₂SiO_3aq (NS) (NS/NH: 0-3.5) in the synthesis of silico-manganese fume (SMF) and ground blast furnace slag (BFS) blended alkali-activated mortar (AASB). The use of individual activator was ineffective in producing AASB of sufficient fresh and hardened properties, compared to the synergy of both activators. This may be attributed to incomplete dissolution and condensation of oligomers required for gelation of the binder. An inverse relationship was noted among the fresh properties and the NH concentration or NS/NH ratio. This was influenced by the dissolution and condensation of silicate monomers under polymerization process. The maximum 28-day strength of ~45 MPa, setting time of 60 min and flow of 182 mm was obtained with the use of combined activators (10M-NH and NS/NH=2.5). The combined activators at NS/10M-NH=2.5 constituted SiO₂/Na₂O, H₂O/Na₂O and H₂O/SiO₂ molar ratio of 1.61, 17.33 and 10.77, respectively. This facilitated the formation of C-S-H, C/K-A-S-H and C-Mn-S-H in the framework together with an increase in the crystallinity due to more silicate re-organization within the aluminosilicate chain. On comparison of the high concentrated with mild alkali synthesized product, it revealed that the concentration of OH^- and Si monomers together with alkali metals influenced the dissolution of precursors and embedment of the constituent elements in the polymeric matrix. These factors eventually contributed to the microstructural densification of the mortar prepared with NS/10M-NH=2.5 thereby enhancing the compressive strength.

Blast furnace slag cement(BSC) has many merits in relation to its prodution cost or environmental problem of these days, but it has still some limitation in broad use mainly because it has the lower early hydration strength than the normal portland cement(PC) has. In the present study, several different experimental concepts to improve its low strength in the early hydration stage were tried out which addition of the effective alkali activators such as Ca(OH)2 and limestone powder, fly ash in existing BSC. It was found that the addition of suitable quantity the effective alkali activators such as Ca(OH)2 and limestone powder, fly ash in BSC can be a possible way to get enough early strength compared with the PC and existing BSC.

A glassy thin film was formed on the surface of the blast furnace slag. When blast furnace slag is used as an admixture of concrete, addition of alkali activators were required. However, alkali activators are not only dangerous as chemical products, but they are also difficult to use as expensive materials. Therefore, it is necessary to study the way of removal of the glassy thin film of blast furnace slag without the risk and cost increase. In this study, to solve this problem, experiment was carried out to improve the hydration reactivity by treatment the surface of blast furnace slag using arc discharge. Experimental results show that when the surface of the blast furnace slag was tratmented by arc discharge, the glassy thin film was destroyed. And the hydration reactivity was improved, the compressive strength was increased.

In this study, the effects of NaOH and KOH alkali activators of various concentrations on the performance of alkali activated waste concrete powder (WCP) was discussed. The samples activated by alkaline solutions were cured for up to 28 days and then compressive strength test was performed. These samples were also characterized using various techniques to explore the phase evolution, and microstructural changes. Results showed superior performance of NaOH-activated WCP. Additionally, activation of WCP by 8M concentrated alkali solutions improved the strength, reactivity and microstructure of alkali activated WCP binder sample.

시멘트는 전 세계적으로 사회기반 시설구조물의 주 건설 재료로서 경제 발전의 원동력이 되어 왔다. 그러나 시멘트 산업은 에너지 다소비형이며 또한 $CO_2$를 배출로 인한 온난화 현상 및 환경문제가 심각하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 시멘트를 사용하지 않은 21세기형 chemically bonded concrete를 연구하기 위해, 국내 fly ash를 재활용하여, 화학적 반응에 의해 경화시켜 모르타르 공시체를 제조하고, 시멘트 대체 건설재료로써 강도 발현 특성 분석, X-ray 회절분석(XRD), SEM 촬영을 통해 알칼리 활성제의 종류, 재령, 양생온도와의 상호관계와 반응 생성물의 강도 발현 메커니즘을 구명하였다. 실험 결과 알카리 활성제로 NaOH와 물유리를 사용한 시험체가 강도가 가장 높았으며, 초기의 높은 양생 온도는 조기에 fly ash의 반응을 활성화시켜 높은 강도 발현에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 XRD와 SEM 분석을 통해 주요한 반응생성물은 $Na_6-(AlO_2)_6-(SiO_2)_{10}-12H_2O$ 형태의 zeolite이며 그 밖의 칼슘실리케이트와 유사한 수화생성물로 나타났다.

In this research influences of type and concentration of alkali activator and curing condition on the hydration, and properties of alkali activated blast furnace slag(AAS) concrete were investigated. Sodium carbonate and sulfate were used as alkali activators and their concentration were 4~10 weight percent with Na$_2$O equivalent to binder. The curing conditions were standard curing using 23$^{\circ}C$ water and activated curing chamber at $65^{\circ}C$. Results show that in case of sodium carbonate addition high early strengths were gained by activation of early hydration, but later strength gained was slight. On the other side sodium sulfate strengths were continuously increased with adding amount and ages. Steam curing activated early hydration so that early strengths were improved but later strengths were similar to standard curing. The strength reduction of AAS mortar with sodium sulfate was less than OPC mortar in 5% sulfuric acid solution so that AAS concrete can be useful for acid-resistance concrete.

The study presents a preliminary investigation on the applicability of Shirasu (a pyroclastic flow deposit characterized by high percentage of volcanic glass) in geopolymer. Comparative study on compressive strength and internal pore structure has been done between geopolymers with alkali activated Shirasu and fly ash as aluminosilicates. Mortar mix proportions are selected based on variations in ratio of alkaline activators to aluminosilicate and also on silica to alkali hydroxide ratio. From the experimental study, Shirasu geopolymer exhibited fairly good compressive strength. Mix proportion based on silica to alkali hydroxide ratio is observed to have profound effect on strength development.

본 연구는 알칼리 활성화 슬래그에서 혼합 활성화제에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수산화나트륨(NaOH, A Case), 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_2$, B Case), 수산화마그네슘($Mg(OH)_2$, C Case), 수산화알루미늄($Al(OH)_3$, D Case), 그리고 수산화칼륨(KOH, E Case)의 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제를 사용했다. 이 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제와 탄산나트륨($Na_2CO_3$)를 혼합하였다. 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제의 농도는 3M로 하고, 탄산나트륨은 1M, 2M, 3M로 하였다. 플로우와 응결 특성은 탄산나트륨의 혼합에 따라 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 그러나 압축응력은 탄산나트륨의 혼합 농도에 따라 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이것은 수산화계열 활성화제와 탄산나트륨의 혼합은 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 모르타르의 특성에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

The usage of OPC-free alkali activated ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS) mortar has been widely studied on the previous years, due to its advantages on sustainability, durability and workability. This paper brings a new view, aiming to classify the best application in situ for each mortar, according to the type and activator content. By this practical implication, more efficiency is achieved on the construction site and consequently less waste of materials. In order to compare the different activators, the following experiments were performed: analysis of compressive strength at 28 days, setting time measured by needles penetration resistance, analysis of total pore volume performed by MIP and permeability assessment by RCPT test. In general, activated GGBS had acceptable performance in all cases compared to OPC, and remarkable improved durability. Following the experimental results, it was confirmed that each activator and different concentrations impose distinct outcome performance to the mortar which allows the classification. It was observed that the activator Ca(OH)2 is the most versatile among the others, even though it has limited compressive strength, being suitable for laying mortar, coating/plaster, adhesive and grouting mortar. Samples activated with NaOH, in turn, presented in general the most similar results compared to OPC.
