TI  - Utilization of Boron Waste as an Additive for Cement Production
AB  - Turkey has 955,297thousand tonnesof B2O3 reserves which correspond to 72.1% of the world. Colemanite (Ca2B6O11·5H2O),ulexite(NaCaB5O9·8H2O)and borax (tincal) (Na2B4O7·10H2O) are the most important boron minerals that are used in production of boric acid and different kinds of borates.During these production processes,boron including wastes form and these wastes pollute the environment. To minimize the pollution caused by these wastes, they are evaluated indifferent kinds of processes such as cement and concrete production. Borogypsum is one of the boron wastes that isused in cement mortar production. In this study the aim was to compare the calcined and non-calcined borogypsum addition to clinker and also investigate its effects on cement mortar. Moreover, to see how borogypsum addition affected the cement properties, different ratios of borogypsum between 1% and 7% were used. Also setting time and consistency analyses were applied to fresh mortar; compressive strengthand splitting tensile strengthof 3, 7, and 28 days were investigated according to the Turkish Standard(TS EN 196-1). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis wasrealized for characterizationofthe chemical structure of 28-days mortars. 3% was the ratio at which the optimum results were obtained for both calcined and non-calcined borogypsum.
