Abstract:

Autoclaved silicate products were fabricated with ceramic polishing powders as the raw material. The products were then compared with those fabricated with fly ash. Moreover, the hydrothermal properties, mineralogical compositions and morphologies of the products were investigated by means of IR, XRD, SEM and EDS, and the corresponding strengths were also measured. The results show that the autoclaved condition is beneficial to inspiring the pozzolanic activity of ceramic polishing powders, and that, as compared with fly ash, ceramic polishing powders provide more activated SiO2 for the reaction, thus lowering the Ca/Si ratio of the hydration product and improving the strength of the autoclaved products. It is also found that the products possess the highest strength at a lime-to- polishing powders mass ratio of 1 : 3.
