Abstract

A study on the crystallography of the lime that comes from mussel shell has been conducted to determine the packing density of the material. The experimental analysis encompasses of concrete samples preparation with lime replacement at 5%, 7.5% and 10% by cement weight. The samples were carbonised naturally over a period of six months and subjected to the phenolphthalein test at 60, 90, 120 and 180 days. It has been found that lime originating from the mussel shell is of both the aragonitic and calcitic crystal types. Both crystal polymorphs of aragonite and calcite are denser than the typical normal concrete by 27.8% and 18.3% respectively. This suggest a volumizing effect that is beneficial to reduce carbonation penetration into the capillarity of the concrete. Results from the carbonation test indicate that concrete containing mussel shell lime ash showed up to 51% lower carbonation coefficient and significantly lower intensity of capillarity as shown via FESEM.

ABSTRAK: Kajian mengenai kristalografi kapur yang didapati daripada kulit kupang telah dijalankan bagi menentukan kepadatan bahan tersebut. Analisis eksperimen merangkumi penyediaan sampel-sampel konkrit yang mengandungi gantian kapur pada 5%, 7.5% dan 10% daripada berat simen. Sampel-sampel telah dikarbonatkan secara alami selama enam bulan dan menjalani ujian fenolftalin pada usia 60, 90, 120 dan 180 hari. Kajian telah mendapati bahawa kulit kupang terdiri daripada kapur-kapur berjenis aragonit dan kalsit. Kedua-dua polimorf kapur aragonit dan kalsit adalah 27.8% dan 18.3% lebih tumpat berbanding konkrit biasa. Hal ini berpotensi menjadi bahan penumpat yang bagus untuk mengurangkan serapan pengkarbonatan ke dalam kapilari konkrit. Keputusan ujian pengkarbonatan menunjukkan konkrit yang mengandungi abu kapur kulit kupang mempunyai pekali pengkarbonatan sehingga 51% lebih rendah dan mempunyai kerendahan kapilariti yang signifikan seperti yang ditunjukkan melalui FESEM.
