This study was focused on developing concrete using alkali-activated copper slag (AACS) as a binder. The properties of alkali-activated copper slag concrete (AACSC) were compared with portland cement concrete (PCC). Different AACSC mixes were prepared with varying Na₂O dosage (6% and 8% of the binder by weight) and curing methods. Hydration products in AACSC were retrieved using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques. The test results indicate that the workability of AACSC was lesser than that of PCC. The AACSC mix with 6% Na₂O dosage has exhibited similar mechanical properties as that of PCC. The mechanical properties of AACSC were higher than PCC when 8% of Na₂O dosage was used. Heat curing was effective to upgrade the strength properties of AACSC at an early age of curing, but at a later age mechanical properties of ambient cured and heat-cured AACSC were comparable. The hydration products of AACSC were not identified in XRD patterns, whereas, in FTIR spectra of AACSC some alkali-activated reaction products were reflected. The AACSC mixes were found to be more sustainable than PCC. It has been concluded that AACSC can be produced similarly to that of PCC and ambient curing is sufficient.

本研究的重点是开发使用碱活化铜渣 (AACS) 作为粘合剂的混凝土。碱活化铜渣混凝土（AACSC）与硅酸盐水泥混凝土（PCC）的性能进行了比较。使用不同的 Na ₂ O 剂量（按重量计粘合剂的 6% 和 8%）和固化方法制备了不同的 AACSC 混合物。使用傅里叶变换红外光谱 (FTIR) 和 X 射线粉末衍射 (XRD) 技术检索 AACSC 中的水合产物。测试结果表明，AACSC 的和易性低于 PCC。具有 6% Na ₂ O 剂量的 AACSC 混合物表现出与 PCC 相似的机械性能。当Na _{2 为}8%时AACSC的力学性能高于PCC使用O剂量。在固化早期，热固化可有效提高 AACSC 的强度性能，但在后期，常温固化和热固化 AACSC 的机械性能相当。AACSC 的水合产物在 XRD 图中没有被识别，而在 AACSC 的 FTIR 光谱中反映了一些碱活化的反应产物。AACSC 混合物被发现比 PCC 更具可持续性。已经得出结论，AACSC 可以与 PCC 类似地生产，并且环境固化就足够了。
