Résumé

The use of locally available industrial by-products as supplementary cementitious materials and mineral fillers is vital for reducing the embodied carbon of modern concretes. Spent pot lining (SPL), a by-product of the aluminum industry, is massively produced worldwide. SPL treated with the low caustic leaching and liming process (LCLL-ash) is no more hazardous and can be used as cementitious material. This study aims to better understand the microstructure changes of cement paste incorporating aluminum smelter wastes, such as LCLL-ash and synthetic anhydrite. Ground LCLL-ash was used to partially replace cement in cement pastes with a constant water-to-binder ratio of 0.35. A small amount of anhydrite was added to some mixes. This study investigated chemo-micromechanical properties of cement paste systems through multiple techniques, including X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy, and microindentation test. The results showed that the reactive alumina from LCLL-ash modified the hydrated phases with the presence of the carbo-aluminate phases. The pastes containing LCLL-ash exhibited a higher CH, and C-S-H contents refer to the reference, suggesting that LCLL-ash has a slight nucleation effect. Moreover, LCLL cement paste showed an increase in the Ca/Si ratio of the C-S-H phase intermix. Finally, microindentation results revealed that adding anhydrite with 10% LCLL-ash enhanced the mechanical property of the cement paste at 28 days.
