ABSTRACT

Supplementary cementitious materials are considered a viable and affordable way to reduce CO2 emissions from the cement industry's perspective since they can partially or nearly entirely replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This study compared the impact of adding spent coffee grounds (SCGs), fly ash (FA), and volcanic ash (VA) to two types of cement: OPC and calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA). Cement samples were characterized using compressive strength measurements (up to 210 days of curing), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and hydration temperature measurements. In all the studied systems, the presence of SCGs reduced compressive strength and delayed the hydration process. CSA composite cement containing 3.5% SCGs, 30% FA, and 30% VA showed compressive strength values of 20.4 MPa and 20.3 MPa, respectively, meeting the minimum requirement for non-structural applications. Additionally, the results indicate a formation of cementitious gel, calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in the OPC-based composite cements, and calcium alumino-silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H) as well as ettringite in the CSA-based composite cements.
