Abstract
Hydration studies were made of non-portland blended cements
made from bag house dust and a number of industrial
and agricultural waste materials exhibiting pozzolanic
properties. The results have shown that the blended cements
made from rice husk ash fired at 700"C have the
best cementing properties. When bag house dust is mixed
with granulated blast furnace slag, it is observed that there
is an optimum amount of bag house dust which exhibits the
best cementing properties. It has further been observed that
in super-sulphated cements, bag house dust is a better activator
of granulated blast furnace slag than lime. The overall
hydration studies have shown that the blended cements
reported in this communication can work as masonry
cements in rural areas for non-structural work
