Abstract
The study has examined the immobilization of mud from a zinc-plating plant and waste zeolite materials with Portland cement
type CEM I. Determination of leachability was assessed by NEN 7345 leaching test. The mechanical stability of immobilized
samples was tested by measuring compressive and flexural strength. The samples with the addition of mud showed high mobility
of zinc ions with leachability index values below criteria limit. With the addition of waste zeolite in cement-mud system, zinc has
become less mobile with greater leachability index. According to diffusion model, controlling mechanism for leaching of zinc is a
wash-off (except for the sample with the addition of 5 % of mud). For samples with lower addition of waste zeolite, leaching
mechanism is diffusion, whereas at higher additions, the leaching mechanism is wash-off. Identification of forming hydrated
products was carried out using Fourier transform infrared technique.

1. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, rapid industrialization has led to an increase
in the quantity of hazardous wastes. These waste materials
must be properly disposed or reused in new composite
materials. This includes methods of waste treatment and
stabilization/solidification (S/S) process with cementitious
or pozzolanic binders [1,2]. S/S process reduces the
hazardous potential of waste materials by transforming
wastes into less soluble form and improves the handling and
physical characteristics of wastes [3,4]. Cement-based S/S
process is based on the reactions of Portland cement and
constituents from the waste material (heavy metals). These
interactions can be very complex and have great importance
to the quality of the stabilized wastes.
In general, most of the crystalline calcium silicate from
cement reacts with water to form an amorphous hydrated
calcium silicate (C-S-H gel) and crystalline calcium
hydroxide (Portlandite). The C-S-H gel is the main binding
component of the stabilized waste while Portlandite creates
an alkaline environment (pH > 12). As a result, there is a
high pH neutralization of acid solution in contact with
stabilized waste, thus preventing the leaching of heavy
metals. Also, the present hydroxide converts the waste’s
heavy metal ions into poorly soluble hydroxides. Portlandite
is partially soluble and over an extended period under the
influence of moisture diffuses through the pores and leaches
from solidified waste. Because its leaching it can lead to
degradation of the structure of solidified material [5].
Cement hydration can change under the influence of heavy
metals during the formation of sheath around cement
particles [6]. Poon et al. concluded that the metals contained
in the sparingly soluble hydroxide retard hydration, while
those consisting of a soluble hydroxides accelerate the
hydration process [7,8]. Retardation is attributed to the
reduction in permeability of the resulting products, which
leads to deposition of undissolved metallic gel on the
surface of the cement particle [9]. Hills et al. concluded that
reaction rates of cement phase do not depend only on the
composition and structure, but also on the temperature, size,
particle shape as well as the presence of accelerators and
retarders (gypsum, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide,
CO2) [10,11].
In an alkalline environment as present during cement
hydration, the surface of cement particles are negatively
charged. This surface can adsorb metal cations. Most
available cations in the solution are calcium ions and it is
believed that this ion-coated silicate surface creates a highly
charged Ca-layer. Metal anions in the solution will compete
for adsorption sites, creating an additional layer. Asavapisit
et al. examined this competition for adsorption by studying
the effects of synthetic lead, zinc and cadmium hydroxide
on calcium ions during the hydration of ordinary Portland
cement. They concluded that during the early hydration of
Alite, dissolves large quantities of lead and zinc ions. They
assumed that these ions prevent the formation of Ca(OH)2 in
the first week of hydration of Alite [12]. Poon et al., through
porosity and leaching experiments showed that Zn was
retained in the cement matrix. Observed leaching was not in
accordance with the measured porosity of the matrix, and

they concluded that the chemical stabilization is more
important than the physical metal retention in the structure
[13].
In the present work, the leaching behavior of zinc ions in
cement composites was determined by a modified dynamic
leaching test. The concentration of zinc in solutions after
leaching is determined by EDXRF device. The mechanical
stability of immobilized samples was tested by measuring
compressive and flexural strength. Identification of forming
hydrated products was carried out using Fourier
transformation infrared technique.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
For all samples investigated, an ordinary Portland cement
(CEM I 42.5R) was used. CEM I was obtained from
CEMEX Croatia cement plant (Kaštel Sućurac, Croatia).
This cement is characterized by very high early and final
strength, a short period of setting time, optimum workability
and considerable development of heat of hydration.
Waste zeolite was natural zeolite tuff from the Donje Jesenje
deposit, Croatia, saturated by solution containing 9.0
mmol/dm3
ZnSO4. After saturation with Zn2+
- ions, zeolite
was dried at 60 C, ground and sieved through a standard
4900 mesh/cm2
sieve. The cement and natural zeolite
chemical compositions were determined by an EDXRF
Twin-X device and are shown in Table 1.

The mud was produced by precipitation of zinc plating plant
wastewater with lime and subsequent filtration of the
precipitate. The mud was approximately 80 % solids and
was composed of a hydroxide gel, hydrated oxides and
various metal salts. The mud was dried at 105 o
C to a
constant weight, ground and sieved through a standard 4900
mesh/cm2
sieve. Percentage of the soluble part of the mud
was 17.85 % and pH value was 6.58. The ground mud was
digested using concentrated hydrochloric acid and the
concentration of zinc was analyzed using atomic emission
spectrometry. The zinc concentration determined was 157.3
mg/L.
Solidified samples were prepared by mixing different
proportions of mud and waste zeolite with CEM I and ultra-
pure water (Table 3). Control sample was Portland cement
without additions, Samples 1-3 were Portland cement
samples with 2, 5 and 10 % of mud, and Samples 4-6 were
Portland cement samples with addition of 10, 20 and 30 %
of the mixture of mud + zeolite. The water/solid (W/S) ratio
of prepared cement samples was 0.5.

2.2. Methods
2.2.1. Modified NEN 7345 Leaching Test
Monolithic cylindrical samples of 34 mm x 30 mm were
cured in the thermostat for 28 days at a temperature of 20 o
C
(isolated contact of samples and water). After solidification,
samples were immersed in distilled water (liquid/solid ratio
L/S = 10:1). Leaching occurred in the sealed glass for
defined periods of 18, 72 and 168 hours. After the leaching
period, the zinc concentration in eluates was determined by
means of an EDXRF device.
Diffusion Model
Diffusion model uses Fick's law of diffusion, which over the
speed of diffusion of zinc assessed the performance of the
Solidification/Stabilization (S/S) process. According to the
diffusion model, the actual diffusion coefficients of zinc in
stabilizing samples can be calculated using the equation:

where m is the number of leaching periods.
The value of LI indicates the rate of leaching. The higher the
LI value, the lower the speed of leaching of the component
with constant availability Umax (this determines the
concentration gradient which is the moving force for
diffusion):
LI  12.5: component with low mobility,
11.0 < LI < 12.5: component with average mobility,
LI < 11.0: component with high mobility.
A LI value of less than 9.5 has no physical significance as
the material to be studied has no further internal porosity
[14].
Determination of the Controlling Leaching
Mechanism
The mechanisms controlling the release of Zn from the
sample were determined using a diffusion model developed
by de Groot and van der Sloot [15]. The controlling
mechanism is derived from the slope of the curve in
equation 3:

where Bt is a cumulative maximum release of the zinc

(mg/kg), t is contact time (s), d is the bulk density of the
product (kg/m3
) and De is the effective diffusion coefficient
(cm2
/s). According to this model, if the slope of the linear
regression is 0.5, Zn release is slow and diffusion is the
controlling mechanism. If the slope is close to 1, the
controlling mechanism is dissolution and if the slope is close
to 0, the mechanism is wash-off.
2.2.2. Determination of Compressive and Flexural
Strength
Cement mortars were prepared according to standard EN
196-1. The ratio of aggregate and binder (cement + mud +
waste zeolite) was constant and it was 3:1. During the
preparation of mortars the standardized quartz sand was
used, and the water/cement and the water/solid ratio was
constant and was 0.5 for all samples. Prepared samples are
placed in the mold dimensions 160x40x40 mm and kept in
well-thermostated pool of water at a temperature T=20±1
o
C. After a certain period of hydration (1, 2, 7 and 28 days),
the samples were conducted to determination of
compressive and flexural strength using Toni Technik
system of hydraulic presses.
2.2.3. FTIR Analysis
Infrared spectra were recorded on a Spectrum One device,
Perkin Elmer. The samples were prepared in the form of
pellets, and the recording is made in the band from 4000 to
400 cm-1
. For the preparation of pellets was used 200 mg of
spectrograph pure KBr (manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich,
Germany) were used, mixed with approximately 30 mg of
the hydrated samples. After homogenization of the mixture
in an agate mortar, the sample was placed into a mold and
pressed in a hydraulic press at a pressure of 49.033 MPa.
Processing of the results was carried out by Spectrum
software.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the diffusion model and zinc concentration in the
leaching solutions, the diffusion coefficients, average
leaching index and slopes of curves were determined. The
slope of curves was used to determine the controlling
leaching mechanisms. Results are shown in Table 4 and
Figure 1 and 2.

coefficient of metal in the stabilized samples is between De

fully bound metal in the samples [16]. Table 4 shows that
values of diffusion coefficient of zinc in samples with

cm2
/s. It is evident that the zinc in
stabilizing samples was very mobile. By adding waste
zeolite in cement-mud system, the values of diffusion
coefficients were lowered, and zinc ions were less mobile
(Sample 4-6). Average values of the leaching index for
samples with the addition of mud were lower than criteria
limit (LI < 9.5), while the average values of the leaching
index for samples with the addition of mixture were above
it.

addition of mud and waste zeolite
Fig 2: The controlling leaching mechanism of zinc for
cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite
Figure 2 shows that the controlling leaching mechanism of
zinc in samples with the addition of mud was wash-off
(except for Sample 2 where the controlling mechanism was
dissolution). In addition of a mixture of mud and zeolite,
leaching mechanism was diffusion and wash-off depending
on the sample. Figure 3 and 4 show compressive and
flexural strength for Portland cement samples with the
addition of mud and zeolite.
Fig 3: Compressive strength for cement samples with
addition of mud and waste zeolite
Fig 4: Flexural strength for cement samples with addition of
mud and waste zeolite
According to standard EN 197-1, early compressive strength
for CEM I should be ≥ 20 MPa (after two days of
hydration), and normalized strength (after 28 days of
hydration) should be ≥ 42.5 MPa. Results show that samples
with addition of waste material had lower compressive and
flexural strength than the reference sample without the
addition. With regard to the standard limit, Samples 1 and 2
meet these conditions. The addition of a mixture of mud and
zeolite leads to an even greater reduction in compressive
strength. Standard prescribed limit was satisfied only by
Sample 4.

samples with the addition of mud and zeolite.

In the FTIR spectra, characteristic absorption bands were
observed in all samples. In the area of wave numbers 3421-
3445 cm-1
, there is an extended absorption band
corresponding bending H-O-H band, while in the area of
wave numbers 1638-1652 cm-1
appeared strong absorption
band of H-O band stretching in the water molecule. The
strong absorption bands in the area 3637-3644 cm-1
corresponded to hydroxyl group (OH-
) from Portlandite and
metal hydroxides. The addition of mud and waste zeolite
reduced the peak intensity and shifted peak to higher values
of the wave number. This indicates a negative effect of zinc
ions on the hydration of Portland cement. The presence of
carbonate phases showed strong absorption bands present in
the area 1418-1426 and 1476-1490 cm-1
. Band at a wave
number of 869 cm-1
was symmetric and asymmetric
vibration of Al-O-H bands in the forming ettringite structure
of Portland cement samples with additives. The frequency of
vibration of Al-O-H band in the Portland cement sample
without additives was 875 cm-1
. The difference between
these frequencies can be evidence of zinc binding in the
structure of ettringite. Sulphuric absorption band (vibration
S-O) appeared in the wavelength regions corresponding to
areas of constitutional water: 1100-1300, 1620-1685 and
3100-3600 cm-1
. The basic characteristics of hydrated
cement were moving absorption bands of stretching Si-O
from the wave numbers of 452, 522 and 925 cm-1
for non-
hydrated cement to 469, 543 and 970 cm-1
for hydrated. The
wave number of 970 cm-1
indicated the formation of C-S-H
phases. Absorption bands which located in the area of wave
numbers 1110-1120 cm-1
corresponding to stretching Si-O
band from C-S-H phase and represented a proof of
polymerization of SiO4
4-
chains present in C3S and C2S
(silicates "fingerprint"). With addition of mud and waste
zeolite, bands shifted towards lower value of wave numbers.
Furthermore, the absorption of Si-O-Si band was sensitive to
vibrations from Si-O-Si tetrahedra and surrounding
structural units. Moulin et al. [17] showed that the zinc
tetrahedra incorporated in C-S-H matrix and attached
directly to the ends of the silicate chains over Zn-O-Si band,
while Komarneni and colleagues [18] have demonstrated
that during the binding of the C-S-H structure occurs
substitute Ca2+
ions with cations of heavy metals. Binding of
zinc in the C-S-H structure, led to changes in the
relationships of Si-O-Si tetrahedra in C-S-H structure. More
zinc binding led to major shifts of bands.
4. CONCLUSION
Modified NEN 7345 leaching test is used to determine the
leaching mechanism of zinc from cement composites.
Samples with the addition of mud showed high mobility of
zinc ions with an average LI value below criteria limit. With
the addition of waste zeolite, zinc has become less mobile
with greater LI value. According to the diffusion model,
controlling mechanism for leaching of zinc was a wash-off
(except for the sample with the addition of 5 % of mud). For
samples with lower addition of waste zeolite, leaching
mechanism was the diffusion, whereas at higher additions,
the leaching mechanism was wash-off. Compressive
strength of mortars with different additions of mud and
zeolite was lower than the compressive strength of a sample
without additives. With regard to the standard limit for this
type of cement, mud shares are eligible to 5 % and a mixture
of mud and zeolite up to 10 %.
FTIR spectra indicate the reaction of zinc with the Portland
cement hydration products. Zinc lowered intensity of peaks
with movement of the peaks toward smaller and larger
values of wave numbers. The difference between these
frequencies can be evidence of zinc binding in the structure
of ettringite and C-S-H phases. More zinc binding led to
major shifts of bands.

Assessment of the leachability and mechanical stability of mud from a zinc plating plant and waste zeolite binding with portland cement

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Special Issue: 13 | ICNTCC-2014 | Sep-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 37 ASSESSMENT OF THE LEACHABILITY AND MECHANICAL STABILITY OF MUD FROM A ZINC-PLATING PLANT AND WASTE ZEOLITE BINDING WITH PORTLAND CEMENT Damir Barbir1 , Pero Dabić2 , Ana Lisica3 1 Department of Inorganic Technology, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, University of Split, Croatia 2 Department of Inorganic Technology, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, University of Split, Croatia 3 Department of Inorganic Technology, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, University of Split, Croatia Abstract The study has examined the immobilization of mud from a zinc-plating plant and waste zeolite materials with Portland cement type CEM I. Determination of leachability was assessed by NEN 7345 leaching test. The mechanical stability of immobilized samples was tested by measuring compressive and flexural strength. The samples with the addition of mud showed high mobility of zinc ions with leachability index values below criteria limit. With the addition of waste zeolite in cement-mud system, zinc has become less mobile with greater leachability index. According to diffusion model, controlling mechanism for leaching of zinc is a wash-off (except for the sample with the addition of 5 % of mud). For samples with lower addition of waste zeolite, leaching mechanism is diffusion, whereas at higher additions, the leaching mechanism is wash-off. Identification of forming hydrated products was carried out using Fourier transform infrared technique. Keywords: Portland cement, mud from a zinc-plating plant, waste zeolite, mechanical stability, leaching of zinc --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years, rapid industrialization has led to an increase in the quantity of hazardous wastes. These waste materials must be properly disposed or reused in new composite materials. This includes methods of waste treatment and stabilization/solidification (S/S) process with cementitious or pozzolanic binders [1,2]. S/S process reduces the hazardous potential of waste materials by transforming wastes into less soluble form and improves the handling and physical characteristics of wastes [3,4]. Cement-based S/S process is based on the reactions of Portland cement and constituents from the waste material (heavy metals). These interactions can be very complex and have great importance to the quality of the stabilized wastes. In general, most of the crystalline calcium silicate from cement reacts with water to form an amorphous hydrated calcium silicate (C-S-H gel) and crystalline calcium hydroxide (Portlandite). The C-S-H gel is the main binding component of the stabilized waste while Portlandite creates an alkaline environment (pH > 12). As a result, there is a high pH neutralization of acid solution in contact with stabilized waste, thus preventing the leaching of heavy metals. Also, the present hydroxide converts the waste’s heavy metal ions into poorly soluble hydroxides. Portlandite is partially soluble and over an extended period under the influence of moisture diffuses through the pores and leaches from solidified waste. Because its leaching it can lead to degradation of the structure of solidified material [5]. Cement hydration can change under the influence of heavy metals during the formation of sheath around cement particles [6]. Poon et al. concluded that the metals contained in the sparingly soluble hydroxide retard hydration, while those consisting of a soluble hydroxides accelerate the hydration process [7,8]. Retardation is attributed to the reduction in permeability of the resulting products, which leads to deposition of undissolved metallic gel on the surface of the cement particle [9]. Hills et al. concluded that reaction rates of cement phase do not depend only on the composition and structure, but also on the temperature, size, particle shape as well as the presence of accelerators and retarders (gypsum, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide, CO2) [10,11]. In an alkalline environment as present during cement hydration, the surface of cement particles are negatively charged. This surface can adsorb metal cations. Most available cations in the solution are calcium ions and it is believed that this ion-coated silicate surface creates a highly charged Ca-layer. Metal anions in the solution will compete for adsorption sites, creating an additional layer. Asavapisit et al. examined this competition for adsorption by studying the effects of synthetic lead, zinc and cadmium hydroxide on calcium ions during the hydration of ordinary Portland cement. They concluded that during the early hydration of Alite, dissolves large quantities of lead and zinc ions. They assumed that these ions prevent the formation of Ca(OH)2 in the first week of hydration of Alite [12]. Poon et al., through porosity and leaching experiments showed that Zn was retained in the cement matrix. Observed leaching was not in accordance with the measured porosity of the matrix, and

In the present work, the leaching behavior of zinc ions in cement composites was determined by a modified dynamic leaching test. The concentration of zinc in solutions after leaching is determined by EDXRF device. The mechanical stability of immobilized samples was tested by measuring compressive and flexural strength. Identification of forming hydrated products was carried out using Fourier transformation infrared technique. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1. Materials For all samples investigated, an ordinary Portland cement (CEM I 42.5R) was used. CEM I was obtained from CEMEX Croatia cement plant (Kaštel Sućurac, Croatia). This cement is characterized by very high early and final strength, a short period of setting time, optimum workability and considerable development of heat of hydration. Waste zeolite was natural zeolite tuff from the Donje Jesenje deposit, Croatia, saturated by solution containing 9.0 mmol/dm3 ZnSO4. After saturation with Zn2+ - ions, zeolite was dried at 60 C, ground and sieved through a standard 4900 mesh/cm2 sieve. The cement and natural zeolite chemical compositions were determined by an EDXRF Twin-X device and are shown in Table 1.

The mud was approximately 80 % solids and was composed of a hydroxide gel, hydrated oxides and various metal salts. The mud was dried at 105 o C to a constant weight, ground and sieved through a standard 4900 mesh/cm2 sieve. Percentage of the soluble part of the mud was 17.85 % and pH value was 6.58. The ground mud was digested using concentrated hydrochloric acid and the concentration of zinc was analyzed using atomic emission spectrometry. The zinc concentration determined was 157.3 mg/L. Solidified samples were prepared by mixing different proportions of mud and waste zeolite with CEM I and ultra- pure water (Table 3). Control sample was Portland cement without additions, Samples 1-3 were Portland cement samples with 2, 5 and 10 % of mud, and Samples 4-6 were Portland cement samples with addition of 10, 20 and 30 % of the mixture of mud + zeolite. The water/solid (W/S) ratio of prepared cement samples was 0.5.

Methods 2.2.1. Modified NEN 7345 Leaching Test Monolithic cylindrical samples of 34 mm x 30 mm were cured in the thermostat for 28 days at a temperature of 20 o C (isolated contact of samples and water). After solidification, samples were immersed in distilled water (liquid/solid ratio L/S = 10:1). Leaching occurred in the sealed glass for defined periods of 18, 72 and 168 hours. After the leaching period, the zinc concentration in eluates was determined by means of an EDXRF device. Diffusion Model Diffusion model uses Fick's law of diffusion, which over the speed of diffusion of zinc assessed the performance of the Solidification/Stabilization (S/S) process. According to the diffusion model, the actual diffusion coefficients of zinc in stabilizing samples can be calculated using the equation:

Assessment of Leaching Index (LI) LI is the negative logarithm of the effective diffusion coefficient: LI 1 m       1 m n log De  n   [2] where m is the number of leaching periods. The value of LI indicates the rate of leaching. The higher the LI value, the lower the speed of leaching of the component with constant availability Umax (this determines the concentration gradient which is the moving force for diffusion): LI  12.5: component with low mobility, 11.0 < LI < 12.5: component with average mobility, LI < 11.0: component with high mobility. A LI value of less than 9.5 has no physical significance as the material to be studied has no further internal porosity [14]. Determination of the Controlling Leaching Mechanism The mechanisms controlling the release of Zn from the sample were determined using a diffusion model developed by de Groot and van der Sloot [15]. The controlling mechanism is derived from the slope of the curve in equation 3: log Bt  1 2 log t( ) log Umax d De          [3] where Bt is a cumulative maximum release of the zinc (mg/m2 ), Umax is the maximum leachable quantity of zinc (mg/kg), t is contact time (s), d is the bulk density of the product (kg/m3 ) and De is the effective diffusion coefficient (cm2 /s). According to this model, if the slope of the linear regression is 0.5, Zn release is slow and diffusion is the controlling mechanism. If the slope is close to 1, the controlling mechanism is dissolution and if the slope is close to 0, the mechanism is wash-off. 2.2.2. Determination of Compressive and Flexural Strength Cement mortars were prepared according to standard EN 196-1. The ratio of aggregate and binder (cement + mud + waste zeolite) was constant and it was 3:1. During the preparation of mortars the standardized quartz sand was used, and the water/cement and the water/solid ratio was constant and was 0.5 for all samples. Prepared samples are placed in the mold dimensions 160x40x40 mm and kept in well-thermostated pool of water at a temperature T=20±1 o C. After a certain period of hydration (1, 2, 7 and 28 days), the samples were conducted to determination of compressive and flexural strength using Toni Technik system of hydraulic presses. 2.2.3. FTIR Analysis Infrared spectra were recorded on a Spectrum One device, Perkin Elmer. The samples were prepared in the form of pellets, and the recording is made in the band from 4000 to 400 cm-1 . For the preparation of pellets was used 200 mg of spectrograph pure KBr (manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) were used, mixed with approximately 30 mg of the hydrated samples. After homogenization of the mixture in an agate mortar, the sample was placed into a mold and pressed in a hydraulic press at a pressure of 49.033 MPa. Processing of the results was carried out by Spectrum software. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Based on the diffusion model and zinc concentration in the leaching solutions, the diffusion coefficients, average leaching index and slopes of curves were determined. The slope of curves was used to determine the controlling leaching mechanisms. Results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 1 and 2. Table 4: Zinc effective diffusion coeficients for cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite Effective diffusion coefficient, De, cm2 /s Sample Time of leaching, hours 18 h 72 h 168 h Sample 1 5.00 ∙ 10-9 8.34 ∙ 10-10 1.00 ∙ 10-9 Sample 2 4.01 ∙ 10-10 2.00 ∙ 10-9 1.00 ∙ 10-9 Sample 3 2.00 ∙ 10-9 4.76 ∙ 10-10 7.82 ∙ 10-10 Sample 4 9.92 ∙ 10-10 1.01 ∙ 10-11 2.00 ∙ 10-9 Sample 5 2.00 ∙ 10-9 1.09 ∙ 10-11 5.37 ∙ 10-10 Sample 6 1.00 ∙ 10-9 2.17 ∙ 10-11 2.65 ∙ 10-10 According to Nathwani and Phillips, the value of diffusion coefficient of metal in the stabilized samples is between De = 10-5 cm2 /s for very mobile metal and De = 10-15 cm2 /s for fully bound metal in the samples [16]. Table 4 shows that values of diffusion coefficient of zinc in samples with different additions of mud (Sample 1-3) ranged from 1.00 ∙

IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Special Issue: 13 | ICNTCC-2014 | Sep-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 40 10-9 to 8.34 ∙ 10-10 cm2 /s. It is evident that the zinc in stabilizing samples was very mobile. By adding waste zeolite in cement-mud system, the values of diffusion coefficients were lowered, and zinc ions were less mobile (Sample 4-6). Average values of the leaching index for samples with the addition of mud were lower than criteria limit (LI < 9.5), while the average values of the leaching index for samples with the addition of mixture were above it. Fig 1: Average leaching index for cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite Fig 2: The controlling leaching mechanism of zinc for cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite Figure 2 shows that the controlling leaching mechanism of zinc in samples with the addition of mud was wash-off (except for Sample 2 where the controlling mechanism was dissolution). In addition of a mixture of mud and zeolite, leaching mechanism was diffusion and wash-off depending on the sample. Figure 3 and 4 show compressive and flexural strength for Portland cement samples with the addition of mud and zeolite. Fig 3: Compressive strength for cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite Fig 4: Flexural strength for cement samples with addition of mud and waste zeolite According to standard EN 197-1, early compressive strength for CEM I should be ≥ 20 MPa (after two days of hydration), and normalized strength (after 28 days of hydration) should be ≥ 42.5 MPa. Results show that samples with addition of waste material had lower compressive and flexural strength than the reference sample without the addition. With regard to the standard limit, Samples 1 and 2 meet these conditions. The addition of a mixture of mud and zeolite leads to an even greater reduction in compressive strength. Standard prescribed limit was satisfied only by Sample 4. Figure 5 and 6 show infrared spectra for Portland cement samples with the addition of mud and zeolite.

In the area of wave numbers 3421- 3445 cm-1 , there is an extended absorption band corresponding bending H-O-H band, while in the area of wave numbers 1638-1652 cm-1 appeared strong absorption band of H-O band stretching in the water molecule. The strong absorption bands in the area 3637-3644 cm-1 corresponded to hydroxyl group (OH- ) from Portlandite and metal hydroxides. The addition of mud and waste zeolite reduced the peak intensity and shifted peak to higher values of the wave number. This indicates a negative effect of zinc ions on the hydration of Portland cement. The presence of carbonate phases showed strong absorption bands present in the area 1418-1426 and 1476-1490 cm-1 . Band at a wave number of 869 cm-1 was symmetric and asymmetric vibration of Al-O-H bands in the forming ettringite structure of Portland cement samples with additives. The frequency of vibration of Al-O-H band in the Portland cement sample without additives was 875 cm-1 . The difference between these frequencies can be evidence of zinc binding in the structure of ettringite. Sulphuric absorption band (vibration S-O) appeared in the wavelength regions corresponding to areas of constitutional water: 1100-1300, 1620-1685 and 3100-3600 cm-1 . The basic characteristics of hydrated cement were moving absorption bands of stretching Si-O from the wave numbers of 452, 522 and 925 cm-1 for non- hydrated cement to 469, 543 and 970 cm-1 for hydrated. The wave number of 970 cm-1 indicated the formation of C-S-H phases. Absorption bands which located in the area of wave numbers 1110-1120 cm-1 corresponding to stretching Si-O band from C-S-H phase and represented a proof of polymerization of SiO4 4- chains present in C3S and C2S (silicates "fingerprint"). With addition of mud and waste zeolite, bands shifted towards lower value of wave numbers. Furthermore, the absorption of Si-O-Si band was sensitive to vibrations from Si-O-Si tetrahedra and surrounding structural units. Moulin et al. [17] showed that the zinc tetrahedra incorporated in C-S-H matrix and attached directly to the ends of the silicate chains over Zn-O-Si band, while Komarneni and colleagues [18] have demonstrated that during the binding of the C-S-H structure occurs substitute Ca2+ ions with cations of heavy metals. Binding of zinc in the C-S-H structure, led to changes in the relationships of Si-O-Si tetrahedra in C-S-H structure. More zinc binding led to major shifts of bands. 4. CONCLUSION Modified NEN 7345 leaching test is used to determine the leaching mechanism of zinc from cement composites. Samples with the addition of mud showed high mobility of zinc ions with an average LI value below criteria limit. With the addition of waste zeolite, zinc has become less mobile with greater LI value. According to the diffusion model, controlling mechanism for leaching of zinc was a wash-off (except for the sample with the addition of 5 % of mud). For samples with lower addition of waste zeolite, leaching mechanism was the diffusion, whereas at higher additions, the leaching mechanism was wash-off. Compressive strength of mortars with different additions of mud and zeolite was lower than the compressive strength of a sample without additives. With regard to the standard limit for this type of cement, mud shares are eligible to 5 % and a mixture of mud and zeolite up to 10 %. FTIR spectra indicate the reaction of zinc with the Portland cement hydration products. Zinc lowered intensity of peaks with movement of the peaks toward smaller and larger values of wave numbers. The difference between these frequencies can be evidence of zinc binding in the structure of ettringite and C-S-H phases. More zinc binding led to major shifts of bands.
