Studying the Effect of Pozzolan on Cement Hydration by Isothermal Analysis
Synopsis
Cement plays an effective role in creating industrial projects and in urbanism. It is deemed necessary to find characteristics going in line with the intended purpose. Therefore, in this study we minimizes energy and gaz emiisions by adding pozzolan to the ordinary cement, which also reduces the cost of cement production. Moreover the added product is available since is made from silicates which could interect with hydroxide calcuim to obtain wet cement for direct application.This study has been held using a measurement of different calorimeters, through measuring the culmination degree and the thermal content facing the water products decomposition. Besides, following up the Pozzolane impact on the interaction wetting and dynamism, and finding the physiochemical characteristics of cement, by means of applying the Fermi Paradigm, and calculation of the activation energy of each sample. This study concluded that using the natural Pozzlane in the blended cement affects positively the wetting in both, early and late ages.
