Derivative thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) was used to analyze traditional mortar compositions in this study. These analyses tested for 4 different chemical compounds, 4 different chemical compound mixtures on 11 different raw materials used in mortar and 14 different mortar mixtures. The mortar samples were cured in either an elevated carbon dioxide atmosphere chamber at 20% CO2 for 21 days, or a natural environment for 49 days. The samples were then examined with three different heating rates - 5℃ /min, 10℃ /min and 20℃ /min - up to 1000℃ . Results show each raw mortar material owns its unique cracking temperature and the cracking temperature rises with increasing heating rate and degree of carbonation. Through determining the cracking temperature, DTG helps to identify the compositions of mortars with a qualitative and quantitative way. |
