Diffusional gas transport of a H2/CO2 mixture versus N2 in the pore system of hardened cement pastes was studied at four temperatures up to 350 °C in a Wicke-Kallenbach cell. The pastes possessed separation factors αH2,CO2 from 1.42 to 3.43, i.e. the diffusion of hydrogen took place considerably faster than the diffusion of carbon dioxide. The separation factors depended on the threshold radii of the pastes, smaller threshold radii leading to higher separation factors. The Knudsen numbers of the controlling constrictions of the pore system and the temperature dependence of the effective diffusion coefficients of the gases show that gas transport in these constrictions takes place in the transient regime between Knudsen diffusion and bulk diffusion, smaller constriction widths leading to predominating Knudsen diffusion. It is therefore possible to use cement paste membranes to separate gas components of low molecular weight from higher weight components.
For several years, optical measuring techniques play an ever increasing role in various areas of construction. Applications ränge from simple laser-based distance measurements up to the use of advanced camera Systems to assess shape changes of components. The advantages of such Systems lie in the ränge of non-contact respectively in non-destructive measurement and in the high required accuracy and reproducibility. The continuous improvement and development of sensors and laser sources also opens constantly new applications and areas of applications. Already established measurement methods and technologies can be further developed and adapted to modern requirements. At BAM it is a laser-based measurement System has been developed that is capable to measure the roughness of component surfaces in equal to already established methods.
A silica residue from waste treatment of chlorosilane production was used together with solid sodium aluminate to test its applicability for the production of one-part geopolymers. The blend was activated with water and cured at 70 °C. The degree of reaction and strength were determined after 1, 3, and 7 days. The reaction products were analyzed by XRD and SEM/EDX. Until the third day of curing the degree of reaction of the residue reached 51 % and the strength was 8.9 MPa. The reaction product was identified as geopolymer containing zeolite A. Thus, the results confirmed that the residue may be used in the production of geopolymers. However, after 3 days of curing no further progress of reaction was observed and the strength slightly decreased, which was attributed to changes in the structure of the geopolymeric gel. It was further observed that even harsh vacuum drying left some water (presumably zeolitic water and surface hydroxyl groups) in the geopolymer.
The conversion of hydrated calcium aluminate cement (CAC) leads to an increase of its porosity which results in lower strength and higher permeability. Due to particular failures in the past, caused by conversion of CAC concretes, their use is sometimes considered to be not reliable. To evaluate the durability of converted CAC, pastes of two CACs were prepared at low w/c ratios (0.25 and 0.35), heated to 105 °C for 15 days and investigated by means of helium pycnometry, mercury porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption as well as by air permeability measurements. The results were compared to the pore structure properties and permeabilities of hardened Portland cement (OPC) pastes. At identical w/c, CAC pastes and OPC pastes exhibited similar open and total porosities. The threshold radii of the CAC pastes were about one order of magnitude greater while the hydraulic radii of their open pore system were smaller. The CAC pastes possessed somewhat smaller permeabilities than the OPC pastes and can thus be regarded as being as durable as the latter in this respect. From comparison of pore structure parameters and permeabilities it was furthermore concluded that significant pore structure damage occurs in the CAC pastes during mercury porosimetry measurements and therefore the measured threshold radii have to be considered as unreliable.
Many African countries face serious problems associated with the rapid growth of urban Population and the resulting demand for affordable building materials. In search for appropriate Solutions to improve the Situation, the “LightSHIP” project was initiated, whose aims were to identify the required product specifications, to evaluate possible approaches and ultimately to develop new Building materials for East Africa. It was concluded that these materials should be produced in Africa mainiy from local raw materials; prefabricated, easily transportable construction elements are to be preferred. It is therefore reasonable to focus on artificial stones and partition boards. To be Independent of imported cement, it is suggested to make use of volcanic rocks, which are abundant in East African countries, for lime-pozzoian binders and geopolymers in the production of these construction elements. Future research activities should thus concentrate on assessment of the applicability of available volcanic rocks, the influence of their properties on the resulting binders and the design of appropriate binder-reinforcement-filler Systems.
