    摘要: Method of efficiently manufacturing cement-SCM compositions having improved strength compared to cement-SCM compositions made using conventional methods. The cement-SCM compositions may contain: (A) a fine interground particulate component with (1) a hydraulic cement fraction and (2) a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) fraction; (B) a coarse particulate component comprised of coarse SCM particles not interground with the fine interground particulate component; and optionally (C) an auxiliary particulate component not interground with the fine interground particulate component or the coarse particulate component. A method of manufacturing a cement-SCM composition may be performed by: (A) intergrinding hydraulic cement (e.g., cement clinker) with one or more SCMs to form a fine interground particulate component; (B) blending, without intergrinding, the fine interground particulate component with a coarse particulate component comprised of coarse SCM particles; and optionally (C) further combining, without intergrinding, an auxiliary particulate component with the fine interground particulate component and the coarse particulate component.

    摘要: Cement-SCM blends employ particle packing principles to increase particle packing density and reduce interstitial spacing between the cement and SCM particles. Particle packing reduces the amount of water required to obtain a cement paste having a desired flow, lowers the water-cementitious material ratio (w/cm), and increases early and long-term strengths. This may be accomplished by providing a hydraulic cement fraction having a narrow PSD and at least one SCM fraction having a mean particle size that differs from the mean particle size of the narrow PSD cement by a multiple of 3.0 or more to yield a cement-SCM blend having a particle packing density of at least 57.0%.

    摘要: Quarry fines and/or limestone powder are used to reduce clinker content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with one or more pozzolanically active SCMs. Quarry fines and/or limestone powder can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement binder and/or fine aggregate. Quarry fines and/or limestone powder can advantageously replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate, acting as an intermediate that fills a particle size void between the largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can advantageously maintain or enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can advantageously address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Such systematic approach to beneficially using quarry fines, limestone powder, SCMs, lime, and sulfate addresses many issues and permits high clinker reduction with similar or increased strength.

    摘要: Hydraulic cements, such as Portland cements and other cements that include substantial quantities of tricalcium silicate (C3S), dicalcium silicate (C2S), tricalcium aluminate (C3A), and/or tetracalcalcium alumino-ferrite (C4AF), are particle size optimized to have increased reactivity compared to cements of similar chemistry and/or decreased water demand compared to cements of similar fineness. Increasing hydraulic cement reactivity increases early strength development and release of reactive calcium hydroxide, both of which enhance SCM replacement and 1-28 day strengths compared to blends of conventional Portland cement and one or more SCMs, such as coal ash, slag or natural pozzolan. Decreasing the water demand can improve strength by decreasing the water-to-cement ratio for a given workability. The narrow PSD cements are well suited for making blended cements, including binary, ternary and quaternary blends.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an activated pozzolan composition includes: (i) grinding a natural pozzolan, alone or with another mineral component that is not cement clinker, to form a finely ground pozzolan component having a first d90 in a range of about 10 μm to about 45 μm and a first d10 less than about 5 μm; and (ii) blending, without intergrinding, the finely ground pozzolan component with a coarse particulate mineral component comprised of coarse mineral particles not interground with the fine interground particulate component, the coarse particulate component having a second d90 greater than the first d90 and a second d10 greater than the first d10. The natural pozzolan can be one or more of natural pozzolanic deposits, volcanic ash, metakaolin, shale dust, calcined clay, trass, and pumice.

    摘要: Methods for producing a blended pozzolan having one or more characteristics, such as one or more chemical and/or physical characteristic, in an established amount or range from two or more different pozzolans. Two or more pozzolans having different chemical and/or physical characteristics can be blended together and a chemical analyzer used to determine a chemical and/or physical characteristic of the blended pozzolan. Upon determining that the chemical and/or physical characteristic of the blended pozzolan is outside the established amount or range, modifying a blending ratio of the two or more pozzolans to restore the chemical and/or physical characteristic to the established amount or range.

    摘要: Mineral fines reduce OPC content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with a pozzolanically active SCM. Mineral fines can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement and/or fine aggregate. Mineral fines can replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate as an intermediate that fills a size void between largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Concentrated or pure carbon dioxide (CO2) can be used to passivate alkaline values in highly alkaline materials, such as concrete washout fines, CKD, class C flyash, incinerator ash, bottom ash, or biomass ash. CO2 passivation or sequestration can be carried out before, during or after forming an initial concrete mix.
