The residue obtained from the slaking of quick lime to slaked lime is called “Grappier” and now is not used for any purposes in Japan. The present authors studied on the utilization of this slaked lime residue for making special cements of the desultory or miscellaneous uses as lime-slag or slag-lime cement.
(1) Slaked lime residue (80-50 parts), water granulated blast furnace slag (20-50 parts), calcined gypsum or gypsum plaster (CaSO
4.1/2H
2O, 0-5 parts) and Portland cement (0-20 parts) were intimately mixed and ground to the special cement as the desultory using cement (Japanese Iudustrial Standard JIS R 5221 (1953)).
(2) Slaked lime residue (10-40 parts), water granulated blast furnace slag (70-40 parts), calcined gypsum or gypsum plaster (CaSO
4. 1/2H
2O, 20 parts) and Portland cement (0-5 parts) were intimately mixed and ground to the special cement as the lime-slag or slag-lime cement (Japanese Industrial Standard JIS R 5222 (1953)).
(3) The samples about 18 kinds of these prepared special cements were tested on their various physical properties as fineness, time of setting, amount of mixing water, and the bending and compressive strengths of hardened cement-sand (1 : 2) mortars were tested by the method ruled in the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS R 5201 (1953) : The Testing Method of Physical Properties of Various Cements), and these cements were proved to be useful as the desultory using cement.
