Abstract The present study investigated the hydration properties and NOx-removal performances of the cement pastes containing three different
types of TiO2. Two commercially available TiO2 (P-25 and NP-400) and refined TiO2 (GST) obtained from waste sludge were incorporated
to cement paste at levels of 0, 5, 10, and 20 wt%. Isothermal calorimetry test results indicated that the TiO2 incorporation induced a notable
influence on the reaction kinetics of cement paste, showing the highest cumulative heat release in the samples containing P-25, followed
by NP-400 and GST. Quantitative X-ray diffractometry as calculated by the Rietveld method identified that the incorporated TiO2 promoted the formation of C-S-H, ultimately leading to the enhancement in the 28 day-compressive strength of cement pastes. As revealed by SEM/EDS analysis, the content of distributed Ti elements on the surface of the samples was in the order of P-25, GST, and NP-400.
Regardless, the NOx-removal performance was the highest in the sample containing P-25, followed by NP-400 and GST.
