AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO RECYCLE 3D PRINTING CONCRETE SCRAP

https://doi.org/10.34031/2618-7183-2021-4-2-12-18
Abstract
The article proposes a rational method for processing 3D printing concrete scrap using vibration equipment, which allows obtaining a multicomponent building material with minimal electricity consumption. As a criterion for the degree of grinding of concrete scrap, it is proposed to use the specific surface area of the finely dispersed part of concrete scrap, which should correspond to 400-500 m2/kg. The possibility of reusing the resulting product instead of the traditional fine aggregate of quartz sand is shown. It was found that the concrete scrap without the addition of Portland cement hardens, reaching up to 48% of the compressive strength of the control samples by 28 days. When 10% of the binder CEM I 42.5 N was added to the concrete scrap processing product, the compressive strength of fine-grained concrete increased by 106.6%, and 20% of Portland cement - by 112.2 %, compared to the strength of control samples of a similar composition on traditional quartz sand after 28 days of hardening. It is noted that this is primarily due to the weak contact zone of quartz sand and the cement matrix of concrete. The use of the product of processing concrete scrap allows obtaining building composites based on it with the complete exclusion of natural raw materials.

INVESTIGATION OF INFLUENCE OF PLASMOCHEMICAL MODIFICATION ON MACRO- AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF SURFACE LAYER OF AUTOCLAVE WALL MATERIALS

https://doi.org/10.34031/2618-7183-2018-1-2-4-10
Abstract
Studies of the high-temperature effect of a plasma torch on the formation of a multilayer structure of the protective and decorative coating of autoclave wall materials are presented. The tasks of the work included studies: a temperature gradient in a multilayer protective-decorative coating; chemical composition of the fused, intermediate and deep layers of the protective and decorative coating; influence of sodium liquid glass on the formation of macro- and microstructures of protective and decorative coatings under the influence of plasma; processes of thermal diffusion and redistribution of oxides in the fused, intermediate and deep layers.
It was found that when the plasma torch was treated with autoclave wall materials, the surface layer was heated to a depth of 3000 μm, and the maximum surface temperature reached 2000 °C. The pattern of the change in the structure of the fused and intermediate layer is revealed. It is shown that the preliminary impregnation of the surface of silica brick during plasma treatment due to the formation of a low-melting melt eliminates microcracks in its deep layers, and high plasma temperatures promote intensive evaporation of sodium and calcium oxides from the fused layer.

FEATURES OF THE SELECTION OF THE RATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPOSITIONAL GIPS BINDER

https://doi.org/10.34031/2618-7183-2018-1-2-45-52
Abstract
The dynamically developing construction in the Russian Federation makes it necessary to expand the range of alternative types of binders and materials based on them. Such a binder is a previously developed compo-site gypsum binder (CGB), used for the production of materials of various functional purposes.
The manufacture and use of CGB-based composites was made possible by studying the Portland cement-gypsum-water system, the stability of which is ensured by introducing an appropriate amount of active mineral additives that reduce the concentration of Ca(OH) 2 in the liquid phase of the hardening system and create the possibility of hardening under certain conditions without dangerous internal stresses. In this paper, we consider the possibility of using composite gypsum binder for fine-milled quartzitic sandstone crushing dropout and concrete scrap crushing dropout as an active mineral additive. Rational compositions of composite gypsum binder are developed and their basic properties are studied. The reasonable choice of the amount of active mineral additive allows optimizing the properties of the composite gypsum binder.
