The improvement of the chemical properties for Iraqi cement by adding local materials to extracted from waste

Abstract

In this paper we get improvement of the chemical properties for Iraqi cement by adding the powder of glass and it became appropriate for several applications like the cementation process for the oil wells. We had a chemical analysis for a sample of Iraqi cement which get from Um Qaser factory (Basrah) and for many samples of the imported cement by the South Oil Company. The powder of glass was mixed with Iraqi cement in ratio (0.02) from the weight of cement, and we had the chemical analysis again. This result was compared with primary result for the Iraqi cement without filler and knowing the change in chemical properties and comparison the new cement with the imported cement to know the similarities between them. We get good results in improvement of chemical properties for the Iraqi cement in many directions and became appropriate for several applications and the property of resistance to sulfates, salt and acids which improved too. In this paper the recycling of glass waste in the environment which study by adding the powder of glass to Iraqi cements.
