A preliminary, third-party life-cycle assessment of one ground-glass pozzolan (GGP) producer's output3 indicates that the global warming potential (GWP) impact for 1 ton (0.9 tonne) of GGP is 56 kg (123 lb) CO2e. For comparison, the U.S. industry average GWP for portland cement is 1040 kg (2293 lb) CO2e. Thus, the GWP calculated for a recent ...
Hence, if a fly ash or natural pozzolan is added to any concrete for which entrainment of air is specified, provision should be made to ensure that the specified air content is maintained by air content tests and by use of additional air-entraining admixture or use of an air-entraining admixture in combination with air-entraining hydraulic cement.
Note 1: Finely divided materials may tend to reduce the entrained air content of concrete. Hence, if a coal ash or natural pozzolan is added to any concrete for which entrainment of air is specified, provision should be made to ensure that the specified air content is maintained by air content tests and by use of additional air-entraining admixture or use of an air-entraining …
NATURAL POZZOLAN IS BACK! Natural pozzolan is the only Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) proven to enhance, fortify and protect concrete for millennia. Witness the iconic concrete structures built by Roman engineers nearly 2000 years ago. What is old is new again: Natural Pozzolan is back! Talk to a natural pozzolan expert. Get samples ...
This study presents the effect of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) on the physical and microstructural properties of geopolymers based on natural Moroccan pozzolan. The slaked lime was incorporated at 4, 8, and 12% replacement by weight of pozzolan. Aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with different molarities (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 M) and sodium silicate …
This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime–pozzolan pastes. Reactivity was evaluated with chemical, mechanical and mineralogical methods. A number of artificial pozzolans were investigated …

The term 'pozzolan' originates from the Italian city of Pozzuoli where volcanic ash was added during Roman times. Add between 10% – 20% by volume depending on the time of year, exposure and use.

In order to evaluate the pozzolanic activity of a natural pozzolan (NP) of rhyolitic composition, several pastes were prepared by mixing the pozzolan with hydrated lime, in different ratios. The pastes were stored in standard conditions (RH = 99 ± 1%, T = 25 ± 1 °C) and evaluated using thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction, compressive strength tests and …
Particle size and specific surface are important because they affect reactivity. The particle size distribution of the pozzolans is included in Fig. 1. According to the results, the Metastar, RHA, GGBS and PFA are the finest pozzolans (finer than lime). The MS particles flocculated during the laser analysis on account of their e…
