Abstract

Coal-gasification slag (CGS) was subjected to mechanical grinding by three different methods. We studied the effects of mechanical activation on various physical and chemical characteristics of the CGS, including particle-size distribution, specific surface area, mineral composition, degree of crystallinity, particle morphology, chemical bonding, surface activity and binding energy, anionic-polymerization degree and hydration properties. The results show that there are different effects on CGS characteristics depending on the type of activation applied. Mechanical activation also can increase the specific surface area and the dissolution rates of activated SiO2 and Al2O3, and the major elements (O, Si, Al, Ca) in CGS, whereas the degree of crystallinity and of polymerization of [SiO4] and [AlO6] are reduced by mechanical activation. We also found that the effects of different mechanical-activation methods on the compressive strength and activity were similar and could accelerate the hydration process.
