✦ Synopsis

This work presents the results of the processing of sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) under controlled calcination conditions in order to obtain materials with optimum pozzolanic activity. Bagasse samples were burnt in an aired electric oven with a heating rate of 10 Β°C/min, at 350 Β°C for 3 h, and at different temperatures ranging from 400 to 800 Β°C for another 3 h. For all calcination temperatures the pozzolanic activity, structural state of silica and loss on ignition of the ashes were determined. Moreover, the SCBA with greater pozzolanicity was characterized by using chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, density, specific surface area and chemical reactivity.

This paper reports on the influence of calcining temperature (800 and 1000 Β°C) on the pozzolanic activation of sugar cane straw (SCS). The reaction kinetics of SCS ash-lime mixtures were inferred from physicochemical characteristics (X-ray diffraction patterns and thermogravimetry analysis. The fitt
