The invention relates to a method for producing supersulfated cement, wherein pozzolanic and hydraulic aluminosilicate components and a calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex are mixed together. The calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex is produced by carrying out the following successive steps: a first step of mixing 70% by weight of calcium sulfate and 30% by weight of alkaline components; and subsequently; a second step of thermodynamically activating, by hot quenching, the calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex; and subsequently; a third step of cold quenching, by rapid mixing, the activated calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex with the pozzolanic aluminosilicate components.

Disclosed is a sulfate corrosion-resistant concrete, a method for optimizing proportion and application thereof. The concrete is formed by mixing and stirring base stocks, aggregates, admixtures, external additives and water. The base stock of the concrete is 17.4-17.5 parts of Portland cement; the aggregates include 38.9 parts of basalt with aggregate size of 5-10 mm and 33.1-33.2 parts of basalt medium sand; the admixtures are 1.9-1.95 parts of silica fume or fly ash, and further including 0.23-0.24 part of polycarboxylate water reducer and 1.34-1.35 part of sulfate corrosion-resistant liquid preservative. Optimized proportion method: according to the corrosion characteristics of sulfate and corrosion environment parameters, determine the composition and proportion of basic samples and comparison samples, make and cure sample components, test the deep components of the samples, and obtain the optimal composition and proportion according to the test results.

A sulfate-resistant cement composition may contain calcium magnesium aluminum oxide silicate, brownmillerite, dolomite, periclase, and calcium aluminum oxide. The composition may contain the calcium aluminum oxide in an amount in the range of 0.01 to 2.0 wt. %. The composition may contain the brownmillerite in an amount of the range of 20 to 30 wt. %.

Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a method of cementing comprising: placing a settable composition into a well bore, the settable composition comprising remediated coal ash, hydraulic cement, and water; and allowing the settable composition to set. Other embodiments comprise a method of cementing comprising: placing a settable composition into a well bore, the settable composition comprising remediated coal ash, calcium hydroxide (lime), and water; and allowing the settable composition to set. Other embodiments comprise a settable composition comprising: remediated coal ash, hydraulic cement, calcium hydroxide, natural pozzolan and water; and allowing the composition to set. Other embodiments comprise a settable composition comprising remediated coal ash and any combination of hydraulic cement, calcium hydroxide, slag, fly ash, and natural or other pozzolan.

It has been unexpectedly discovered that the addition of a natural or other pozzolan to non-spec coal ash significantly improves the properties of the non-spec coal ash to the extent it can be certified under ASTM C618 and AASHTO 295, as either a Class F or Class C coal ash. The natural pozzolan may be a volcanic ejecta, such as pumice or perlite. Other pozzolans may also be used for this beneficiation process. Many pozzolans are experimentally tested and may be used to beneficiate non-spec coal ash into certifiable Class F coal ash. Additionally, this disclosure provides a method of converting a Class C coal ash to a more valuable Class F coal ash. This discovery will extend diminishing Class F coal ash supplies and turn non-spec coal ash waste streams into valuable, certified coal ash pozzolan which will protect and enhance concrete, mortars and grouts.
