| Abstract | Recycled concrete powder (RCP) poses a considerable challenge with respect to effective uti-lisation of construction and demolition waste (CDW) resources due to its low activity, high water demand, and potential to cause dust pollution during storage. A suitable activation method is necessary for stimulating the potential activity of RCP and enhancing its utilisation. Therefore, the effect of mechanical, chemical, and thermal activation methods on the properties of RCP were investigated in this study. Mechanical and thermal activation were helpful for the activity of RCP due to the modification of particle size and distributions. RCP exhibits a higher content of SiO2 and a lower content of CaO as well as the main crystal phases of quartz, calcite, gismondine, and dolomite. After 400-800 degrees C thermal activation, dolomite is not observed while the RCP shows new active components (such as larnite, calcium silicate, and calcium oxide). The chemical activation test highlights that CaO (3%) is the most optimal, followed by CaSO4 (1%) and Na2SO4 (2%), while Ca(OH)(2) (4%) has the least optimal activation effect on the strength activity index (SAI) of RCP mortar. For combined activation, Ca(OH)(2) and CaSO4 with 1:1 ratio has the most optimal activation effect, and the SAI reaches 80.27%. Based on the mechanical performance, SAI, and micro-characteristics, the most feasible and effective activation method is thermal activation (800 degrees C), followed by chemical activation (Ca(OH)(2)+CaSO4), and mechanical activation (75 min). This study proposes a useful combined activation method for RCP that verifiably contributes to the application of CDW. |
