Physicochemical characterization of mixtures of the miocene marl of Fez vicinity,cellulose and pozzolan

The clays form a very abrasive raw material in view of the new demands of the society in terms of sustainable development and energy saving we have developed materials based on marl,pozzolan and cellulose. this study aims at the physicochemical characterization of the miocene marls of the fez region in order to develop environmentally friendly building materials by improving the physico-chemical properties by adding different percentages of cellulose and pozzolan. the marl was mixed with cellulose and pozzolan in the following percentages of 1%,2%,3%,4% and 5% of the cellulose content and 10%,15%,20% and 25% of pozzolan in the samples tested. complement tests were also performed. the geochemical analysis showed that there is indeed a change in the concentration of the main elements,relative to the raw marl. the results of this work show that there is a change and improvement in the physicochemical properties of a new composite marl / pozzolan / cellulose. © 2017,university of mohammed premier oujda morocco.
