Study On The Properties Of Chromium Residue-cement Matrices (crcm) And The Influences Of Superplasticizers On Chromium(Ⅵ)-immobilising Capability Of Cement Matrices

摘要

The study of cementitious activity of chromium residue (CR) was carried out to formulate the properties of chromium residue-cement matrices (CRCM) by blending CR with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The particle size distribution, microstructures of CR were investigated by some apparatuses, and physical properties, leaching behavior of hexavalent chromium [Cr(Ⅵ)J of CRCM were also determined by some experiments. Three types of commonly used superplasticizers (sulphonated acetone formaldehyde super-plasticizer (J1), polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer (J2) and naphthalene superplasticizer (J3)) were chosen to investigate their influences on the physical properties and the Cr(Ⅵ)-immobilisation in the leachate of the CRCM hardened pastes. The results show that the CR has a certain cementitious activity. The incorporation of CR improves the pore size distribution of CRCM. The Cr(Ⅵ) concentrations in the leachate of CRCM significantly decrease by incorporation of J2. Among three superplasticizers, J2 achieves lowest Cr(Ⅵ) leaching ratio. Based on this study, it is likely to develop CR as a potential new additive used in cement-based materials.
