Abstract
- Natural clayey materials from La Delta deposit located in Moa, Holguin was characterized through the techniques of atomic absorption spectrometry, X ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy to determine the puzzolanic activity. The clay thermal activation was completed at 650 °C and 750 °C. The calcination products were characterized through the grain size analysis and the specific surface in a particle analyzer. The compression resistance of the activated material was determined in the Portland cement/calcined clay system with a 70/30 ratio. The main chemical components identified were as follow: silicon dioxide; aluminum and iron associated to the mineral phases contained in the clayey material. The material obtained is a puzzolanic material with a high reactivity. This indicates that it has potential for use as a partial replacement for cement taking into account that its resistance is 75 % higher than that of the reference product. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
