Characterization of Algerian reservoir sludges for use as active additions in cement: new pozzolans for eco-cement manufacture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the chemical, physical, morphological, mineralogical and pozzolanic characteristics of several reservoir sludges and assesses their potential for use as 20% additions in blended cement manufacture. The studied sludges exhibit good pozzolanic properties, especially sample 5 which has high SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 contents. Blended cements prepared with 20% sludge additions complied with the European standard on compressive strength of one of the standardized cements, above 32.5 MPa at 28 days of curing; except for sample 5, which showed similar compressive strength values to the reference cement and up to 2% higher values at long curing times.

Reduction of CO2 Emission and Production Costs by Using Pozzolans in Lamerd Cement Factory
Two major concerns for cement factories are environmental aspects and production costs. The number of cement factories is increasing in Iran which from an environmental point of view is not favorable. Different pozzolans such as brick, potted clay, volcanic rocks, sedimentary rocks and rice bran were used in the cement produced by Lamerd factory in the south of Iran. Among these additives, ...
متن کاملEco-friendly Blocks by Blended Materials
In spite of broad improvements in construction technology, cement is still stayed as binding material for construction purposes. Cement industries are the main sources for the contribution of carbon dioxide (co2) into the atmosphere. So, there is a need to use new materials as binders (green binders) in substitute for cement, which leads to reducing the production of cement. In this study, fly ...

To fully utilize the siliceous whiskers and improve the mechanical properties of oil-well cement, the cement composites with different additions of siliceous whiskers were prepared, and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared spectrum analysis. The results showed that the addition of 2% siliceous whiskers could slightly ...

The Berriasian-Valanginian Fahliyan Formation forms one of the giant reservoirs in the subsurface of the Abadan plain, onshore Iran. A detailed petrographical analysis of the available cores and thin sections revealed that the different diagenetic parameters influenced the reservoir quality of the Fahliyan Formation in this field. The Fahliyan Formation has been influenced by three diagenetic e...
متن کاملSource of Cement in the Great Oolite Reservoir, Storrington Oil Field, Weald Basin, South of England
The source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. The source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the Storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (Middle Jurassic Great Oolite Formation, Weald Basin, onshore UK) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...
