Resumen

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mechanoactivation with and without grinding aids (GAs) on the physical characteristics of recycled concrete powder (RCP) for use as supplementary cementitious material (MCS). RCP was subjected to the comminution process in a planetary ball mill for 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes, using three types of grinding aids (propylene glycol (PG), sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) and triethanolamine (TEA)), at different levels (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1%). The powders' performance as SCM (10% substitution) was evaluated in pastes on consistency and compressive strength at 7 days. Considering the shortest milling time and the lowest content of milling aid, mechanoactivation for 30 minutes with 0.5% propylene glycol (PG) additive reduced the d50 from 20.99 to 8.85 µm and increased the BET from 6.23 to 7.50 m²/g, without altering crystallinity. The results in pastes indicated that the use of grinding aids favored the use of recycled concrete powder as MSC, with a statistically significant score in particularity resistance.
