Abstract
The use of mineral waste for the production of lightweight artificial aggregate is an important element of activities for sustainable development in construction and the implementation of the objectives of the circular economy. The article presents the physical, mechanical, and ecological properties of an innovative artificial aggregate produced from bottom sediments, concrete dust, and municipal solid waste incineration fly ash. The obtained research results confirm that the developed material achieves technological properties comparable to artificial aggregates available on the market, both commercial and those derived from recycling. However, the increased leachability of chlorides and sulphates remains a significant challenge, which may limit the scope of its applications. Despite this, the material shows the potential for use, among others, in the production of lightweight concrete. The analyses carried out have shown that the thermal hardening processes (200-400 °C) and autoclaving do not guarantee full immobilization of harmful substances contained in the raw materials for the production of this type of aggregate.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
