Ilmenite Mud in Cement Composites: A Fly Ash Alternative?
A recent study in Materials compares rinsed ilmenite mud waste (R-MUD) with fly ash (FA) as additives in Portland cement composites, focusing on microstructural and pozzolanic properties. The results reveal that R-MUD, despite lower silicon dioxide content, exhibits higher pozzolanic activity, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to FA in cement production.
