    Enhancement of Pozzolanic Activity of Calcined Clays by Limestone Powder Addition
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-05) Argin, G.; Uzal, B.
    The influence of limestone powder addition on pozzolanic reactivity of calcined clays were investigated. Two clays containing kaolinite and halloysite in their compositions were obtained from different deposits in Turkey and physical, mineralogical, and morphological properties of the raw and calcined clay were characterized. Pozzolanic reactivity of calcined clays with and without limestone powder addition was then examined by means of lime consumption in lime-calcined clay pastes and their isothermal calorimetry as well as strength activity index test. Limestone powder addition enhanced the pozzolanic reactivity of calcined clays by increasing lime consumption and presenting higher heat of reaction released during pozzolanic activity. Limestone addition also provided benefits of reduced water requirement and increased strength activity for calcined clays. Improvements in pozzolanic reactivity and strength activity of calcined clays with limestone powder addition were attributed to nucleation effect provided by limestone particles and also formation of carboaluminate phases during pozzolanic reaction.

    Effect of Mineralogical Composition of Clinoptilolite-Bearing Tuffs on Their Performance as a Natural Pozzolan in Cementitious Systems
    (Techno-press, 2021) Ozen, Sevgi; Uzal, Burak
    In this study, pozzolanic reactivity and strength activity of zeolitic tuffs containing similar amount of zeolitic phase (clinoptilolite) and different types and amounts of impurities were examined in order to understand the role of mineralogical composition in the efficiency of zeolitic natural pozzolans. Mineralogical and chemical compositions as well as the physical properties of the zeolitic tuffs were determined. Their pozzolanic reactivity were measured as depletion of calcium hydroxide in the pastes containing lime and zeolitic tuff, which is determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, compressive strength of blended cement mortars prepared with 20% replacement of Portland cement by finely ground tuffs were determined at 7, 28 and 56 days of age. It was demonstrated that the type and amount of impurities in mineralogical composition of zeolitic tuffs are significantly effective on their early pozzolanic reactivity. Zeolite mineral content, however, is more determinative on long term reactivity. For a strength activity, mineralogical composition was clearly effective on the preparation of mortar samples, which depends on water requirement of zeolitic tuffs.
