Solid waste

Source

Main composition

Primary mechanism

LKD

A by-product of the manufacture of quick lime

A high amount of calcium

LKD is usually combined with FA for soil stabilization. The active calcium in LKD complements Al2O3 and SiO2 in FA to form C–A–S–H gel

CCR

A by-product of acetylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyvinyl alcohol production process

Calcium hydroxide

In the presence of pozzolanic materials (FA, GGBS, and RHA), it provides cementitious function

Recycled bassanite

Production from the gypsum waste

CaSO4 \(\bullet\) 1/2H2O

Recycled bassanite is a soluble material, so it is usually mixed with cement or lime as a solidification agent. Formation of ettringite and other cementitious gels

Bagasse ash

A by-product of the combustion process of bagasse, which is the residue obtained by the sugar industry after extracting the juice from sugarcane

Amorphous silica

As a pozzolanic material
