Brazil is the biggest worldwide sugar cane productor and, due to its high production, huge amounts of sugar cane bagasse ash are generated after alcohol and sugar manufacture. In order to find out a sustainable application for this waste material, this work assess the production and use of sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) both in Portland cement blended and also in alkali-activated binders. Physical and chemical properties of SCBA were assessed and, obtained results showed that SCBA presented low organic matter (4.4%) and a high SiO2 content (78.6%). XRD pattern showed the presence of crystalline phases in the SCBA, mainly quartz assigned to the soil impurities. The use of SCBA in Portland cement blended mortars was achieved in different percentages and for different curing time. Pozzolanic reactivity of SCBA was also determined in calcium hydroxide/SCBA pastes and Portland cement/SCBA pastes by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for different curing time. The results confirmed the pozzolanic reactivity of SCBA. SCBA was also used in binary systems blast furnace slag/SCBA for the production of alkali-activated binders. Different percentages of SCBA in the range 0-50% and different types of activating solutions such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution were used in this study. Compressive strength mortars in the range 15-50 MPa were yielded after 90 curing days at room temperature. Microstructural analyses for alkali-activated binders were performed using several instrumental techniques such as TGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM and MIP. The durability of selected alkali-activated mortars were tested both in acid attack (HCl, HAc and HN4Cl) and sulfate attack (Na2SO4 and MgSO4). The obtained results were compared to a Portland cement mortars and depending on the attack and on the activating solution, alkali-activated binders can present increment on the compressive strength even ...
