dc.description.abstractIn line with sustainable construction goals, this study investigates the synergistic use of amine-based grinding aids (GAs), triethanolamine (TEA), and triisopropanolamine (TIPA) to enhance grinding performance and cement properties. GAs were physically blended at varying TEA/TIPA ratios, and their effects on grinding efficiency, CO2 emissions, and environmental footprint were assessed based on energy consumption per target Blaine fineness. The interaction of blended GAs with Ca2+ ions was modeled to understand adsorption behavior. Cement particle size distribution (PSD), Hausner ratio, Carr index, and angle of repose were analyzed to evaluate powder flowability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine microstructural changes. Finally, the Taguchi method statistically analyzed the effective parameters influencing system performance. Results demonstrated that the optimized blend containing 25% TEA and 75% TIPA improved grinding performance, enhanced polymer-ion interactions, refined PSD, and significantly increased powder flowability. Overall, the study underscores the potential of amine-based polymeric GAs in producing environmentally friendly, high-performance cement composites. Using a Taguchi design with the larger-is-better S/N criterion, the optimal formulation was determined to be 25% TEA and 75% TIPA at a dosage of 0.10%. ANOVA results indicated that the TEA content was the most significant factor, while the dosage had no statistically significant effect.
