Resumo
Brazil is a major producer of alcohol from sugar cane, a fuel with low environmental impact. The production of alcohol
generates a large amount of bagasse, the biggest waste of Brazilian agriculture. This bagasse is usually burned for energy production
providing nearly 3% of residual ashes. The potential use of these ashes like mineral admixture of cementitious composites depends
on calcination conditions. The present work identifies the physical and chemical characteristics of ashes from the furnace exhauster,
obtained in an industry located at southeast region of Brazil. The ashes were obtained from bagasse of sugar cane harvest in two
different seasons. Chemical composition analysis, X-ray diffraction, grain size distribution, loss on ignition, thermogravimetry
analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), specific surface measurements (BET) and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) tests were used to characterize the ashes. The pozzolanic activity was estimated by pozzolanic activity index
tests with cement and lime, by the modified Chapelle test, electrical conductivity in lime solution tests, TGA and FTIR. The ashes
presented different chemical compositions and degree of amorphicity. The ashes with a higher content of silica, the lower organic
material content and high degree of crystallinity (1st harvest), for the same size, have higher pozzolanic on electrical conductivity in
lime solution tests than the ashes with lower silica content and higher amorphicity (2nd harvest). However, the results of differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) and modified Chapelle method would indicate the pozzolanicity of the ashes of the 2nd harvest. The
results of pozzolanic activity index (with cement or lime) indicated the ashes were not pozzolanic.
