Item Lignin-based admixtures : a scientometric analysis and qualitative discussion applied to cement-based composites.(2023) Carvalho, Victor Rezende; Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Baeta, Bruno Eduardo Lobo; Peixoto, Ricardo André FiorottiThe development of lignin-based admixtures (LBAs) for cement-based composites is an alternative to valorizing residual lignins generated in biorefineries and pulp and paper mills. Consequently, LBAs have become an emerging research domain in the past decade. This study examined the bibliographic data on LBAs through a scientometric analysis and in-depth qualitative discussion. For this purpose, 161 articles were selected for the scientometric approach. After analyzing the articles’ abstracts, 37 papers on developing new LBAs were selected and critically reviewed. Significant publication sources, frequent keywords, influential scholars, and contributing countries in LBAs research were identified during the science mapping. The LBAs developed so far were classified as plasticizers, superplasticizers, set retarders, grinding aids, and air-entraining admixtures. The qualitative discussion revealed that most studies have focused on developing LBAs using Kraft lignins from pulp and paper mills. Thus, residual lignins from biorefineries need more attention since their valorization is a relevant strategy for emerging economies with high biomass availability. Most studies focused on production processes, chemical characterizations, and primary fresh-state analyses of LBA-containing cement-based composites. However, to better assess the feasibility of using different LBAs and encompass the multidisciplinarity of this subject, it is mandatory that future studies also evaluate hardened-sate properties. This holistic review offers a helpful reference point to early-stage researchers, industry professionals, and funding authorities on the research progress in LBAs. It also contributes to understanding the role of lignin in sustainable construction.Item Correlation between ultrasonic pulse velocity and thermal conductivity of cement-based composites.(2020) Mendes, Júlia Castro; Barreto, Rodrigo Rony; Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Silva, Guilherme Jorge Brigolini; Peixoto, Ricardo André FiorottiThe thermal conductivity of construction materials is among the main factors influencing the thermal performance of buildings. This property is, thus, extensively demanded for design purposes. The thermal conductivity is especially related to the pore system and the composition of cement-based composites, the same factors that affect their Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV). In this sense, the present work evaluates the correlation between thermal conductivity and UPV. To this purpose, mortar specimens were investigated, with varying mix proportions, fine aggregate types, and dosages of air-entraining admixture. A satisfactory determination coefficient (R2 > 0.9) was obtained between thermal conductivity and UPV of the mortars when they were grouped under similar components and pore structure. It was observed that the pore system of the mortars tested is more influential to the UPV than their overall porosity. In this sense, a better correlation was found between UPV and thermal conductivity than between thermal conductivity and specific gravity. Additionally, the fine aggregate type presents a significant impact—not only due to its chemical and mineralogical properties but also as a result of the morphology that each aggregate generates within the matrix. In conclusion, this technique potentially presents high applicability to the thermal characterisation of cement-based composites.
