Abstract
Synthetic pozzolans are produced using local materials to provide a cementitious material that is uniform in chemistry and properties independent of the location where the materials are obtained. Two methods of production are described. One is a high temperature process in which materials are processed in a semi-molten or molten state. The second process is a low temperature aqueous process.
Claims25
A synthetic pozzolan comprising:
- at least 10% by mass of an activatable amorphous phase comprised of one or more of siliceous, aluminosiliceous and aluminous material, said activatable amorphous phase configured to be activated by conducting a chemical reaction to form a cementitious compound.
A method of making a synthetic pozzolan, said synthetic pozzolan comprising at least 10% by mass of an activatable amorphous phase, the method comprising the step of performing a solid state reaction in a high temperature process to produce a clinker.
A method of making a synthetic pozzolan, said synthetic pozzolan comprising at least 10% by mass of an activatable amorphous phase, the method comprising the step of performing an aqueous reaction in a low temperature process.
