Boosting the mechanical performance and fire resistivity of white ordinary portland cement pastes via biogenic mesoporous silica nanoparticles

Article scientifique 2025 Anglais

Résumé

This study investigates how biogenic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MS-NPs) extracted from rice straw residues, a sustainable and economical bio-source, affect White Ordinary Portland Cement (WOPC) paste performance. A comprehensive investigation using varied fractions of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0% MS-NPs as an additive to WOPC was conducted to analyze the physicomechanical characteristics of WOPC-MS hardened composites, including compressive strength, fire resistance, and water demand. The beneficial impact of biogenic MS-NPS was verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and differential thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG) methods, revealing several hydration products such as calcium silicate hydrates (CSHs), calcium ferrosilicate hydrates (CFSHs), and calcium aluminosilicate hydrates (CASHs). These products enhance the overall physical and mechanical properties and the thermal stability of hardened WOPC-MS. The composite comprising WOPC-0.75 MS provides numerous advantages from both an economic and environmental perspective.
