    This article evaluates the ability of a magnesia kiln dust (PC-8) and a commercial calcined MgO (MCB100), combined with ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS), as constituents of binary M-S-H binders. Mortars and pastes were manufactured and their properties were compared to those of Portland Cement (PC). MgO-based mortars showed an increase in setting time and higher fresh consistency. At earlier ages MgO mortars showed lower mechanical properties. At 90 days both MgO-based mortars overcame the PC flexural strength and PC-8 + GGBS also overcame its compressive strength. X-Ray Diffraction and Thermogravimetry tests demonstrated the presence of M-S-H in the pastes.

    Recycled granulates manufacturing from spent refractory wastes and magnesium based binder
    (Elsevier, 2023) Seco Meneses, Andrés; Del Castillo García, Jesús María; Perlot, Céline; Marcelino Sádaba, Sara; Espuelas Zuazu, Sandra; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    This paper analyzes the ability of two Spent Refractory Wastes (SRW) for the manufacturing of recycled granulates for construction applications. A binary magnesium oxide and ground granulated blast furnace slag hydraulic binder was considered as an agglomerating agent for the granulates manufacturing. Influence of curing atmosphere was carried out: in air, 20 % CO2 and 100 % CO2 atmosphere up to 28 days. Granulometry, thermal analysis, particle density, bulk density, water absorption and mechanical strength tests were performed to characterize the granulates. SRW showed their ability for the granulates manufacturing. Results demonstrated the existence of a residual reactivity of the wastes considered. A direct relationship between the CO2 content of the curing atmosphere and the granulates hydration degree was observed. Carbonation process increased from 7 days to 28 days and direct relationships were observed between the CO2 content and the carbonation degree as well as between the binder dosage and the carbonation degree. CO2 curing reduced the water absorption and increased the compressive strength of the granulates.
