morphological properties of the hydrated lime samples were characterized and evaluated using X-ray fluorescence (X-RF) spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (X-RD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM)

The overburning test method was developed to simulate and predict lime densification, agglomeration, and sporadic melting at the highest potential temperature of lime kilns.

Mar 15, 2024 · A series of laboratory tests, including California Bearing ratio (CBR) tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests, drying shrinkage tests and SEM were performed to explore the effects of the content of IBPs on the mechanical and microstructural properties of lime-treated soil.

This paper focuses on the characterization of carbide lime (CL) – a by-product of acetylene production, composed mainly of calcium hydroxide with minor parts of carbonate – and compares its...

Some examples presented in this paper illustrate how the use of conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be useful in the description of soil fabric and bring information in the understanding of the soil properties.

Microscopy investigations of thin section mortar specimens showed how the lime affects the mortar concerning homogeneity, density, pore structure and crack patterns. KEY-WORDS: earth slaked lime, lime putty, SEM, slaking technique, thin section 1 RESEARCH AIM The aim of the present work was twofold.

Jan 1, 2021 · One of the most important instruments for the analysis of microstructural characteristics of soils is the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The primary reason for the SEM’s advantage in investigating soil microstructure is the high resolution that can be obtained when examined. Thus, SEM has been an important instrument in investigating clays.

Feb 3, 2010 · The results obtained by SEM show significant differences in structure between the lime putties. The earth-slaked lime consists of relatively large particles that are packed in a porous system compared with the wet-slaked lime with very small particles closely packed in …

Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments were used to analyze changes in the lime soil particle structure for different aging times and the formation of new substances....

Dec 1, 2017 · The SEM results show the mineral and structure changes of the limestone under different temperatures and they, as well as the TG-DSC results, agree well with the XRD results, i.e. the microstructure affects the properties at temperatures from 200 °C to 300 °C.
