  • Multiscale Engineering Response of Alkali Activated Aluminosilicate Binders
    Multiscale Engineering Response of Alkali Activated Aluminosilicate Binders by Akash Dakhane A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Narayanan Neithalath, Chair Subramaniam Rajan Barzin Mobasher Robert Marzke Sumanta Das ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2016 ABSTRACT Sustainable materials and methods have achieved a pivotal role in the research plethora of the new age due to global warming. Cement production is responsible in contributing to 5% of global CO2 emissions. Complete replacement of cement by alkaline activation of aluminosilicate waste materials such as slag and fly ash is a major advancement towards reducing the adverse impacts of cement production. Comprehensive research has been done, to understand the optimized composition and hydration products. The focus of this dissertation is to understand the multiscale behavior ranging from early age properties, fundamental material structure, fracture and crack resistance properties, durability responses and alternative activation methods to existing process. The utilization of these materials has relied primarily on the dual benefits of reduced presence in landfills and cost. These have also proven to yield a higher service life as opposed to conventional ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete due to an enhanced microstructure. The use of such materials however has not been readily acceptable due to detrimental early age behavior. The influence of design factors is studied to understand the reaction mechanism. Silicon polymerization at the molecular level is studied to understand the aluminosilicate interactions which are responsible for prevention of any leaching of ions. A comparative study between fly ash and slag binders is carried out to evaluate the stable states of sodium, aluminum and silicon in both these binders, since the likelihood of the sodium ions leaching out is high.

  • Bourgeois Aspirations: a Biographical Sketch of Hector Ledru, Manufacturer and Inventor (1798 to 1876)
    ZUG 2017; 62(2): 257–297 Dirk HR Spennemann* Bourgeois Aspirations: A biographical sketch of Hector Ledru, manufacturer and inventor (1798 to 1876) DOI 10.1515/zug-2017-1001 Abstract: During the first half of the nineteenth century, the French economy underwent a major technological change, with small and medium-scale entrepreneurs driving the in- dustrialisation by developing and exploiting new technologies. This paper examines the life of one such entrepreneur, Hector Ledru (ca. 1798 to 1876), who started out in the sugar in- dustry of the post Napoleonic era. He soon morphed into an entrepreneur exploiting patents in the manufacture of wooden barrel manufacture, galvanised iron and metal pipes, before he settled on the manufacture and installation of central heating systems. Ledru serves as an example of the archetypical small and later medium-scale entrepreneur making his way in post Napoleonic France, never reaching national fame, but all the way adjusting to the various social and economic circumstances. Introduction A substantial body of literature has examined the emergent French in- dustrialisation during the early and middle part of the 19th century.1 There ap- pears to be consensus that the French path of industrialisation differed from that of the United Kingdom and the United States of America, due to both social constraints, and retarded infrastructure development. As a further important difference the conservative attitude of French entrepreneurs has been mentioned together with a lack of investment capital for start-up companies,2 in part caused 1 Maurice Levy-Leboyer/Francois Bourguignon, The French economy in the nineteenth century: an essay in econometric analysis, Cambridge 1990; Colin Heywood, The Development of the French Economy 1750–1914, Cambridge 1995; François Caron, Histoire économique de la France, XIXe- XXe siècles, Paris 1995; Michael Stephen Smith, The Emergence of Modern Business Enterprise in France, 1800–1930, Cambridge 2006.

  • Galvanization for Corrosion Inhibition I
    Sciscitator 2015 / Volume 2 GALVANIZATION FOR CORROSION INHIBITION I. N. Wickramathilaka Board of Study of Chemical Sciences Deterioration of metal surfaces in aggressive environment is defined as metal corrosion. The aggressive environment may be a liquid or a gas. Also, corrosion is a chemical or an electrochemical oxidation process, in which metal transfers electrons to the aggressive environment as follows. M Mn+ + ne Corrosion causes structural damage and it leads to many environmental problems. Therefore prevention of corrosion process is very important. Among corrosion prevention methods, galvanization is the most widely used technique. The process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron is known as galvanization. There are three major processes for applying zinc to iron and steel, and those are hot dip-galvanizing, electro galvanizing and zinc spraying. Among these processes, most products are coated using hot-dip process. Figure 1: Galvanized steel pipes Figure 2: Galvanized roofing sheets The term is derived via French from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani. Originally, galvanization was referred to the administration of electric shocks. In the 19th century it was also termed as Faradism. The term galvanization has largely associated with zinc coating, to the exclusive of other metals. Galvanic paint, a precursor to hot-dip galvanization, was patented by Stanislas Sorel, of Paris, Franch in December, 1837. The earliest known example for galvanization of iron is found in 17th century which is the Indian armor in the Royal Armouries meuseum collection [1]. When choosing a corrosion prevention method, it must be an environmental friendly and a low cost method.

  • Effect of Formaldehyde As an Additive on Some Properties of Magnesium Oxysulphate Cement
    Material Science Research India Vol. 5(2), 313-320 (2008) Effect of formaldehyde as an additive on some properties of magnesium oxysulphate cement RITU MATHUR¹, SANJAY K. SHARMA²* and M.P.S. CHANDRAWAT³ ¹PG Department of Chemistry, RR College, Alwar (India). ²Department of Chemistry, Institute of Engineering & Technology, Alwar (India). ³IET Biotechnology Institute Alwar (India). (Received: October 06, 2008; Accepted: November 16, 2008) ABSTRACT A French scientist Sorel S.T., discovered magnesium oxysulphate cement (magnesia / Sorel’s Cement) in 1867. In this work the effect of formaldehyde as an additive is studied on some properties of Sorel’s cement. It is found that incorporation of formaldehyde in the matrix increases setting periods but does not contribute to the water tightness of the cement, though compressive strength of the product improves by its incorporation in small amount. Minor contractions in the linear beams are also noticed with passage of time. Key words: Magnesium oxysulphate cement, Compressive strength, Water tightness, Setting periods, Weathering effects, linear changes. INTRODUCTION Its chief drawback is its poor water resistance, making it unsuitable for construction Sorel cement, which is named for its applications. Additionally, it is expensive compared inventor, Frenchman Stanislas Sorel who first to standard concrete and gypsum. produced it in 1867, is a hydraulic cement mixture of magnesium oxide (burnt magnesia) and Sorel has highlighted the use and potential magnesium chloride with the approximate chemical of Magnesium oxysuphate as a binder material formula Mg4Cl2(OH)6(H2O)8, corresponding to a since the invention of magnesia cements in 1,2,10 weight ratio of 2.5-3.5 parts MgO to one part MgCl2¹.

  • Investigation on Effects of Steel Surface Properties on Galvanization Behavior
    Journal of Engineering Research and Applied Science Available at www.journaleras.com Volume 7 (1), June 2018, pp 861-868 ISSN 2147-3471 © 2018 Investigation on effects of steel surface properties on galvanization behavior E. Toklu1, M. Gur1, M. Celtik2,a 1Duzce University, Mechanical Engineering, Duzce, Turkey. 2Sakarya University, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Sakarya, Turkey. Accepted 29 April 2018 Abstract Galvanization is a metal coating process in which a ferrous part is coated with a thin layer of zinc. The zinc coating seals the surface of the part from the environment, preventing oxidation and weathering from occurring. The primary method of galvanization is “hot dip galvanization”, which has been in use for over 150 years. While the idea of coating a part in molten zinc was first proposed by chemist Paul Jacques Malouin in 1742, the process was not put into practice until patented by chemist Stanislas Sorel in 1836. Sorel’s process has changed little since then, and still involves coating a part in molten zinc after cleaning it with an acid solution and coating the part in flux. Galvanization helps to extend the life of steel parts by providing a barrier between the steel and the atmosphere, preventing iron oxide from forming on the surface of the steel. Galvanization also provides superior corrosion resistance to parts exposed to the environment. Galvanization provides a cost-effective solution for coating steel parts, specifically those that will receive significant environmental exposure over their lifetime. Keywords: Galvanization, galvanization behavior, coating, zinc, steel surface 1. Introduction It is known that around 20 BC – 14 AD, brass was physical parameters (eg bath temperature, immersion made by the Romans from zinc and copper.
