Alkali activators were prepared with a NaOH molarity ranging from 0 M to 4 M. The hydration was monitored using in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and isothermal calorimetry. The hydration product assemblage was investigated using XRD, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption and compressive strength tests. A molarity of 0 M NaOH gave rise to the highest porosity and highest strength, although setting occurred only after 7 days. From a molarity of 2 M NaOH and higher, ettringite disappeared and got replaced by a monosulfate phase (i.e., NaCa4Al2O6(SO4)1.5.15H2O) and amorphous aluminum-hydroxide. This study shows the potential of using GGBFS and PG for the development of novel by-product based cementitious binders. | Keywords: | Ground granulated blast furnace slag;Phosphogypsum;Supersulfated cement;Alkali-activated binder | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/30999 | ISSN: | 0008-8846 | e-ISSN: | 1873-3948 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.cemconres.2020.106054 | ISI #: | WOS:000537846000018 | Rights: | © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
