Physicochemical and mineralogical characterization datasets from oil drill cuttings in comparison with other cement types for cement partial-replacement in concrete

Abstract

This article presents data on the physical/chemical and mineralogical characterizations of treated oil drill cuttings (ODC) in comparisons with other cement types, for suitability insight for partial-replacement of cement in concrete. The physical properties were compared for cement/cement fillers including Portland Cement (PC), Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA), and Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS). The particle size distribution of the ODC and the other cement/cementitious materials were also rendered to the extreme-value probability density models, with the Normal distribution employed as a reference, while the goodness-of-fit data-distribution compatibility was ascertained using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test-statistics. Characterized properties indicated treated ODC physicochemical and mineralogical properties compared well to the ranges exhibited by the other cement types, and requisite standards. The presented comparative results from the measured/analyzed physicochemical and mineralogical data are useful information for furthering research on the suitability of ODC, wastes from oil and gas explorations, as partial-replacement of cement in concrete.
