Sulfur Modification

The purpose of this study is the synthesis and study of modified sulfur concrete for use in industrial construction. To achieve this goal, sulfur concrete based on gossypol resin and pyrolysis distillate was modified and studied. The strength properties of sulfur-based concrete obtained from sulfur modified with gossypol resin and pyrolysis distillate were investigated. For the addition to sulfur concrete, industrial waste was used as a finely dispersed filler - fly ash from the Angren TPP and phosphogypsum generated at Ammophos-Maxam JSC. It was found that the best strength results correspond to sulfur-based concrete modified with gossypol resin using an additive in the form of phosphogypsum. The prototype characterized by low water absorption, high frost resistance in an aggressive environment (3% NaCl solution).

The Impact

Industrialization is the key to the growth of any country’s economy. However, on the other hand, the production of industrial waste is increasing enormously, which adversely impacts the environment and natural resources. Red mud is also a widespread industrial waste produced during aluminium extraction from bauxite ore in Bayer’s process. Red mud is a highly alkaline material that creates a massive environmental threat in nature. To reduce the impact of this solid waste material, the ideal method is to use it in construction works with appropriate stabilization. This study envisages the strength properties of red mud with fly ash and cement to use it as a road construction material in the subgrade. The influence of fly ash and cement on improving the strength properties of red mud was studied in detail by replacing red mud with 10%, 20%, and 30% with fly ash and 1%, 3%, and 5% of cement to its dry weight. The CBR (California bearing ratio) value was increased from 1.58% to 11.6% by stabilizing red mud with fly ash and cement, which can be used as a road construction material. The UCS (unconfined compressive strength) of red mud was increased from 825 kPa to 2340 kPa upon curing for 28 days with the right mix of fly ash and cement. Along with the strength properties, the chemical analysis of leachate for the best suitable mix was performed according to the TCLP method to understand the hazardous materials present in the red mud when it is injected as ground material. Both strength properties and the leachate characteristics prove that the red mud with suitable fly ash and cement is an excellent material in road constructions.

Plasticizing Admixture

Cement as the binding agent in the production of concrete can be replaced with active mineral admixtures. Biofuel combustion fly ash is one of such admixtures. Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, sand of 0/4 fraction, gravel of 4/16 fraction, biofuel fly ash, superplasticizer, water. Six compositions of concrete were designed by replacing 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% 20%, and 25% of cement with biofuel fly ash. The article analyses the effect of biofuel fly ash content on the properties of concrete. The tests revealed that the increase of biofuel fly ash content up to 20% increases concrete density and compressive strength after 7 and 28 days of curing and decreases water absorption, with corrected water content by using plasticizing admixture. It was found that concrete where 20% of cement is replaced by biofuel ash has higher frost resistance.

This paper presents the experimental tests of concrete made on the recycled aggregates basis. Tests were carried out to determine the concrete suitability for construction purposes. The physical and strength properties were determined for three types of recycling aggregates. The aggregates were obtained from sanitary ceramics ‘SC’ (washbasins and toilet bowls), building ceramics ‘BC’ (solid bricks), and concrete rubble ‘CR’. The results obtained in tests of compressive strength, bending tensile strength, water absorption, total shrinkage, watertightness, and frost resistance of concrete made of SC and CR aggregates gave grounds for stating its suitability for structural purposes. Concrete based on the BC aggregates is not recommended for structural applications.

Ash Residue

Because the fly ash will produce large amounts of the secondary waste emission after the extraction of aluminum, the utilization of the fly ash residue after the extraction of aluminum has great significance. The autoclaved fly ash bricks studied in this paper use CFB ash residue after extraction of aluminum as the main material, and calcium carbide clay which consists mainly of calcium hydroxide is the waste residua of the production of acetylene gas in the chemical plants. This paper analyzes the chemical composition, the mineral composition and the microstructure of the fly ash residue after extraction of aluminum. In the paper, we also study the law and impacts of compressive strength, flexural strength, frost resistance and water absorption, which are made by calcium carbide clay for the autoclaved fly ash bricks. Experimental results illustrate that calcium carbide clay can significantly improve the compressive strength, the flexural strength and the frost resistance of the coal fly ash autoclaved bricks, and significantly reduce its water absorption.

Composition Properties

The composition material for waterproofing of the railway infrastructure objects, in particular, culvert pipes is suggested in the article. The waterproof composition contains an acrylic polymer and a filler. The comparison of the composition properties with two kinds of the fillers (silica sand and Portland cement) is carried out. The following properties are defined – water absorption, corrosion stability, stability in an aggressive environment, frost resistance to evaluating the suitability of the proposed composition for waterproofing. These properties are determined for three batches: an acrylic polymer without a filler, an acrylic polymer with silica sand, and an acrylic polymer with Portland cement. The test results show that the composition with silica sand possesses the best waterproofing properties. Wherein the quantity of silica sand is 1.5 mass parts to the quantity of polymer. Compared to the non-filled acrylic polymer the offered composition is characterised less water absorption, more significant corrosion stability and stability in an aggressive environment, better frost resistance. The mix with Portland cement shows a bit worse results at a higher cost of the material in whole.

Alkali Activated

This research aims to study the effect of the dosage of anhydrous sodium metasilicate activator on the long-term properties of fly ash-based one-part alkali-activated binders (OPAAB) cured at ambient conditions. Powdered sodium metasilicate activator was utilized in the range of 8–16% by weight of the fly ash in producing the OPAAB. The properties examined are hardened density, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, efflorescence formation, and microstructural analysis. The experimental result revealed that the binders exhibited excellent long-term strength properties. The compressive strength of the OPAAP is well correlated with its hardened density. The pastes were found to exhibit good soundness characteristics over the long-term. The absorption of water decreases with an increase in the activator dosage from 8–12%, and beyond that, the water absorption relatively remains the same. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) micrograph revealed uniformly formed solid matrices with the micro-crack present were observed in the samples. The larger pore size promotes the crystallization of the resulting hydrate substances (N, C)-A-S-H gel. The initial dissolution of the OPAAP occurred within the first 30 min. At longer age of curing, mixtures with a higher dosage of powdered activator tend to absorb less water. Strength properties beyond 28 days are considered as the long-term strength.

Abstract The feasibility of industrial waste fly ash as an alternative fluxing agent for silica in carbothermal reduction of medium-low-grade phosphate ore was studied in this paper. With a series of single-factor experiments, the reduction rate of phosphate rock under different reaction temperature, reaction time, particle size, carbon excess coefficient, and silicon–calcium molar ratio was investigated with silica and fly ash as fluxing agents. Higher reduction rates were obtained with fly ash fluxing instead of silica. The optimal conditions were derived as: reaction temperature 1,300°C, reaction time 75 min, particle size 48–75 µm, carbon excess coefficient 1.2, and silicon–calcium molar ratio 1.2. The optimized process condition was verified with other two different phosphate rocks and it was proved universally. The apparent kinetics analyses demonstrated that the activation energy of fly ash fluxing is reduced by 31.57 kJ/mol as compared with that of silica. The mechanism of better fluxing effect by fly ash may be ascribed to the fact that the products formed within fly ash increase the amount of liquid phase in the reaction system and promote reduction reaction. Preliminary feasibility about the recycling of industrial waste fly ash in thermal phosphoric acid industry was elucidated in the paper.
