The Influence of Aluminium Dross on Cement Paste's Porosity

In this study aluminium dross, an industrial waste product from the aluminum casting industry which contains mostly aluminum, aluminium oxide, and volatile gases such as ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2). In this study it is used as an admixture in cement paste to observe its effects on the porosity and bulk density of the material. The parameters used in the study include; the effects when different quantities of aluminium dross are added to portland cement (portland cement:aluminium dross by weight; 1: 0.05, 1: 0.10, and 1: 0.20) and the effect of different sized particles of aluminium dross (average diameter of aluminium dross particles; <45, 60, and 90 μm) on porosity and bulk density of cement paste. According to the study, as the amount of aluminium dross content in cement paste increases, the area fraction of porosity in the cement paste increases; yet the bulk density of cement paste decreases. In addition, when the particle size of aluminium dross decreases both of the pores size in the cement paste and bulk density of cement paste decrease.
