Particle size distribution of OPC and BA was determined
using HORIBA LA-910 particle size analyzer.
Mineralogical analysis of BA was carried out by X ray diffraction
analysis. Specific surface area of OPC and BA
were obtained using Blain’s air permeability apparatus as
per IS 4031 (Part 2)-1995. Physical properties such as specific
gravity, bulk density, and fineness of OPC and BA
were determined as per IS 4031 (Parts)-1995 and IS 1727-
1995.
Chemical analysis for oxide composition of OPC and
BA was determined as per IS 4032-1985 and IS 1727-1995
