| Abstract |
Fused cement clinker can be produced from molten basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) via a reductive thermochemical treatment. During the thermochemical treatment, oxidic iron is reduced to metallic iron and separated. The resulting low-iron slag has a chemical and mineralogical composition similar to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) clinker. In this study, the hydraulic reactivity of the fused clinker from BOFS (BOFS) with and without gypsum was investigated using isothermal calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in-situ X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Furthermore, a synthetic fused clinker without foreign ions and fused clinker produced by a mixture of both materials was studied. The hydraulic reaction of the fused clinker from BOFS was considerably slower than that of ordinary Portland cement. However, the reaction can be accelerated by adding gypsum as a sulfate carrier. Furthermore, the results showed an increased reaction rate with decreasing content of foreign ions such as Fe, P or Mn. |
