Description
Summary:Steel slag is produced globally in huge annual quantities. How to achieve its large-scale utilization is a question that researchers have been exploring. In this work, sodium citrate (SC) was used as a linker to modify Steel slag (SS) with alkali lignin (AL). And steel slag cement cementitious materials (CSS) were prepared with 10% replacement ratio. The effects of AL and SC on CSS were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG/DTA) etc. The results indicated that AL successfully loaded on the surface of SS. For CSS, as the degree of modification increased, the standard consistency water consumption of CSS decreased from 27% to 23.5%. During the hydration of CSS, its main hydration product was Ca(OH)2, the suitable amounts of AL and SC can stimulate the activity of SS. In addition, SS modification could improve the stability of CSS. The results of Ray's clamp method showed that the addition of AL and SC made the expansion of CSS reduced from 1.5 to 0. The 3 d and 28 d of CSS maximum flexural strengths were 5.42 MPa and 8.61 MPa and the maximum compressive strengths were 22.96 MPa and 49.15 MPa, respectively. This was an increase of 36.67% and 48.27% respectively. Therefore, the combination of AL and SS can not only effectively solve the problem of AL resource utilization, but also is expected to realize the practical application of SS in cement cementitious materials. It has good social and environmental benefits.
