Introduction
Introduction
• Water is an important resource.
• To produce potable water, various techniques e.g. desalination
is used.
• One desalination process is The Concentrate Enhanced
Recovery Reverse Osmosis (CERRO©)
• However this process yield high concentration CaSO4 as RO
by-product.
Challenges
Challenges
 The disposal of this waste CaSO4 by-product in an
environmentally friendly manner is an issue.
Objective
• Evaluate the feasibility of using RO by-product in cement
mortar and AACB (alkali activated complex binders) mortars .
Objective
Material Used
Material Used
• Cement (Type I/II OPC, ASTM C-150)
• Quickrete all purpose sand (ASTM C 33 )
• Water
• NaOH (10M)
• Sodium Silicate (Na2O:SiO2=1:1)
• CaSO4 salt, RBG (passing #16 sieve )
• Class F fly Ash
• Fly ash Property (Collected from Boral Material Technology)

Sample Preparation
& Curing Condition
Sample Preparation (Cont.)
 ASTM* C-109 (2008)
 Cement: Sand: Mixing Liquid= 1:2.75:0.49
 AACB mortar (Fly Ash:Sand= 1:2.75, Sodium Silicate: NaOH=0.67,
minimum base water 5% by mass of geopolymer paste )
 Samples were prepared in 2 × 2 × 2 in..
*American Society of Testing material
Curing Process
• Tap Water (For standard samples)
• Cement Mortar cured at room temperature, submerging under
water.
• AACB mortars were kept at 75 ̊ C for total 3 days accelerated
curing.
Compressive Strength

  • 6. Challenges  The disposal of this waste CaSO4 by-product in an environmentally friendly manner is an issue.
  • 8. • Evaluate the feasibility of using RO by-product in cement mortar and AACB (alkali activated complex binders) mortars . Objective

  • 18. Sample Preparation (Cont.)  ASTM* C-109 (2008)  Cement: Sand: Mixing Liquid= 1:2.75:0.49  AACB mortar (Fly Ash:Sand= 1:2.75, Sodium Silicate: NaOH=0.67, minimum base water 5% by mass of geopolymer paste )  Samples were prepared in 2 × 2 × 2 in.. *American Society of Testing material
  • 19. Curing Process • Tap Water (For standard samples) • Cement Mortar cured at room temperature, submerging under water. • AACB mortars were kept at 75 ̊ C for total 3 days accelerated curing.
  • 25. Conclusion • The compressive strength test results indicate that there is feasibility of disposing RO byproduct CaSO4 in geopolymer based mortars.
