Abstract:
The invention provides a cement admixture that improves the ability of concrete to bring about high initial strength, works in favor of enhancing the effect on hexavalent chromium reductions, and is less likely to decrease in the effect on hexavalent chromium reductions even upon storage as well as a method for reducing hexavalent chromium. The invention is embodied as (1) A cement admixture, characterized by comprising an expanding material containing free lime, a hydraulic compound and calcium sulfate anhydrite, and a tin sulfate-containing substance; (2) The cement admixture according to (1), characterized in that the tin sulfate-containing substance is contained in an amount of 0.2 to 8 parts by mass—as calculated on a tin sulfate basis—in a total of 100 parts by mass of the expanding material and the tin sulfate-containing substance; (3) The cement admixture according to (1) or (2), characterized in that the expanding material has been treated with carbon dioxide gas to form calcium carbonate therein; (4) The cement admixture according to any one of (1) to (3), characterized in that the expanding material has been surface treated with a shrinkage reducer; (5) A cement composition, characterized by containing cement, and the cement admixture according to any one of (1) to (4); and (6) A method for reducing hexavalent chromium, characterized by use of the cement composition according to (5).
Abstract:
Hydraulic cements, such as Portland cements and other cements that include substantial quantities of tricalcium silicate (C3S), dicalcium silicate (C2S), tricalcium aluminate (C3A), and/or tetracalcalcium alumino-ferrite (C4AF), are particle size optimized to have increased reactivity compared to cements of similar chemistry and/or decreased water demand compared to cements of similar fineness. Increasing hydraulic cement reactivity increases early strength development and release of reactive calcium hydroxide, both of which enhance SCM replacement and 1-28 day strengths compared to blends of conventional Portland cement and one or more SCMs, such as coal ash, slag or natural pozzolan. Decreasing the water demand can improve strength by decreasing the water-to-cement ratio for a given workability. The narrow PSD cements are well suited for making blended cements, including binary, ternary and quaternary blends.

Abstract:
To effectively utilize coal ash while reducing mercury concentration in cement kiln exhaust gas. Coal ash is received from a thermal power plant or the like; the received coal ash is separated into ash and unburned carbon; the separated ash is utilized in a cement manufacturing facility as a cement raw material; and the separated unburned carbon is utilized in the cement manufacturing facility in accordance with mercury concentration in gas exhausted from a cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility. In case that the mercury concentration in the gas exhausted from the cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility is high, in the coal ash, unburned carbon with high mercury content can be treated in facilities other than the cement manufacturing facility without feeding the unburned carbon to the cement manufacturing facility, or the quantity of such unburned carbon fed to the cement manufacturing facility can be adjusted. It is possible to separate mercury from the separated unburned carbon, and utilize the unburned carbon from which mercury is separated in the cement manufacturing facility as a fuel.
