Bentonite is a mixture of clay and non-clay minerals. Montmorillonite mineral dominant in bentonite. Silica alumina bond the crystal structure montmorillonite. Therefore, they cannot contribute to pozzolanic reaction. Heat treatment bentonite leads destruction montmorillonite converting silica reactive phases. Thermally activated (TAB) relatively low pozzolan when used as partial replacement Po...

Jajarm Alumina Plant, the only Alumina powder producer in Iran, generates 500,000 tons of red mud annually. The commonest method for final disposal of red mud in Iran is Tailing dam which is neither cost-effective nor environmentally-friendly. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of red mud recovery to be used for stabilization of loose soils. Red mud samples have bee...
