Characterization of Carbonated and Raw Ferronickel Slags as Cementing Materials

Résumé

This study’s aim is to fully characterize ferronickel slag from New Caledonia, considered a multiphase mineral containing amorphous material. The methodology consisted of combining chemical, mineral, and morphological characterization techniques, such as ICP-AES, TGA, Q-XRD, microscopy, spectroscopy, etc. The ferronickel slag consisted of 44 wt. % forsterite, with the inclusion of iron as a substitution for magnesium (Mg1.8Fe0.2SiO4), 1.7 wt. % chromite and 54 wt. % amorphous phase containing iron, magnesium, aluminum, and silica (Mg/Si = 0.4; Fe/Si = 0.2; Al/Si = 0.1). This material was slightly reactive in a cementitious medium, thus limiting its use as an SCM in the construction sector. The ferronickel slag was then subjected to an attrition-leaching carbonation process at 180 °C and a partial pressure of CO2 of 20 bar. The obtained product, carbonated at 80% of its capacity, was also characterized. It was composed of carbonates (37% of magnesite and 4% of siderite), remaining forsterite (7 wt. %), chromite (1 wt. %), and 50% of an amorphous phase, mainly composed of silica and aluminum. The complete characterization of those products helped in understanding the chemistry of the carbonation process and finding valorization paths for the carbonated products in the construction sector. The carbonated product may be used either as an SCM in blended cement or as a precursor of magnesium–silicate binders.
