Abstrakt:

As known, calcium oxide (CaO) is an alkaline material, which can be used widely to increase the clay-containing soils load carrying capacity, to produce aerated concrete and calcium aluminate cement. In the last few years, introducing CaO into alkali-activated materials (AAMs) became a hot topic and attained more attention than other times. Generally, CaO can be incorporated into AAMs as an additive/a part of the main precursor and a sole activator without/with an auxiliary activator. Incorporating CaO into the matrices may improve some properties and worsen others. This mainly depends on the ratio of CaO, curing conditions, activator type and activator concentration, precursor type and testing age. This review collected, summarized and analyzed the available studies focused on the effect of CaO on the fresh (reaction kinetic, workability, setting time) and hardened (mechanical strength, durability and length change) properties of AAMs. In addition, some recommendations for future works were included. The results showed that the inclusion of CaO in AAMs decreased workability and setting time. In spite of there are contradictory results about the effect of CaO on the compressive strength of AAMs, most of them reported higher compressive strength, especially at the early ages. The incorporation of CaO up to 5% in the matrix is more effective than the incorporation of higher ratios. The inclusion of CaO in the matrix decreased water absorption, decreased total porosity, increased wetting/drying as well as acid attack resistivity. The CaO (5–10%) can be used as a sole activator for precursors. Auxiliary activators such as Al2(SO4)3, Na2CO3, Na2SiO3, Na2SO4, CaSO4, NaOH, Ca(NO3)2, NaNO3, Mg(NO3)2, Mg(HCOO)2, Ca(HCOO)2, SO3, gypsum and MgO can be used to enhance the compressive strength of CaO-activated materials, especially at the early ages.
