Aproveitamento de resíduos de cinza da cana de açúcar em massas cerâmicas

This study aimed to investigate the use of cane sugar ashes from small-scale stills of Eunápolis region, state of Bahia, in pottery mass that can be developed as porcelain stoneware. Bahia is the second largest producer of rum distillery in Brazil. In the production of rum is produced residue called bagasse, which is used to generate electricity in Power plants and in the distillery itself, generating ashes as residue, which is played in nature, causing environmental damage. We studied 5 (five) formulations of 0% 10% 20%, 30% and 40% by weight of the ash, without ignition and 3 (three) formulations of 10%, 20% and 30% with gray ash temperature of 1250ºC. The formulation at 0% by weight of ash was used for a comparison between the traditional mass of porcelain stoneware and the masses with the addition of ash calcined, replacing feldspar. The percentage by weight of kaolin and of Clay was kept the same, 30%, and all raw materials were derived from the state of Bahia. The samples were made in uniaxial array with dimensions of (60 x 20 x 5) mm and compressed to a pressure of 45 MPa. Assays were performed to characterize the raw by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, ATD and ATG and Dilatometric analysis. The samples were sintered at temperatures of 1100°C, 1150°C, 1200°C and 1250°C, for the specimens with the ashes without ash and 1150° C and 1200° C for specimens with the gray level of calcined 60 minutes. and then we made a cooling ramp with the same rate of warming until reach ambient temperature. The sintered bodies were characterized by water absorption, porosity, linear shrinkage, bending strength and XRD of the fracture surface and the results analyzed. It was proven, after results of tests performed, that it is possible to use the ash residue of sugar cane bagasse on ceramic coating with the addition of up to 10% wt of the residue ash

Influência do teor de cinza volante na reologia de argamassa de assentamento: fabricado com reciclagem de resíduos

As argamassas podem ser consideradas como um conjunto de partículas sólidas em suspensão (agregado miúdo), aglomerantes e água (pasta de cimento). Sendo assim, seu comportamento reológico durante a cura pode ser influenciado por fatores como a granulometria, composição e teor de água incorporado. Este trabalho estudou as características reológicas de seis composições de argamassas, em função do teor de cinza volante, como material de atividade pozolânica, em substituição parcial do cimento. A argamassa estudada utilizou como base agregado o resíduo da construção civil (RCC), devidamente caracterizado por difratometria e fluorescência de raios-X. Formularam-se composições de argamassas para os ensaios reológicos com adição de resíduo de construção civil (RCC) nas proporções de 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 e 70%; cinzas volantes (CV) 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 25% e 5% de Cimento Portland Comum (CP II- E 32), sendo que em cada amostra foi incorporado 35% de água. Utilizou-se o viscosímetro modelo VT 550, com sensor tipo cilindros coaxiais SV₁ – Haake a temperatura de 28ºC. Para avaliar o tempo de cura do material programou-se uma taxa de cisalhamento constante 53,4 s^-1 em 1h e 45min, sendo avaliado o torque em intervalos de 15min. Para a elaboração das curvas de fluxo e curvas de histerese, utilizou-se a taxa de cisalhamento entre 0 e 600 s^-1 no intervalo de tempo de 120s. Os resultados mostraram que a incorporação de cinza volante foi o principal fator para aumento do torque no tempo de cura das argamassas e mudança do comportamento de reópetico para tixotrópico, nos traços analisados. Os dados experimentais das formulações propostas ajustaram-se ao modelo reológico de Herschel-Bulkley.

Comportamento de fundações superficiais apoiadas em aterros estabilizados com resíduos industriais

Neste trabalho foi estudado o comportamento de fundações superficiais apoiadas em sistema de dupla camada, quando a superior é cimentada. O estudo consistiu-se de três etapas, chamadas de Etapa de Laboratório, Etapa Numérica e Etapa de Campo. Na Etapa de Laboratório foi verificada a viabilidade técnica de utilizar os resíduos industriais cinza pesada e cal de carbureto na estabilização de um solo residual de arenito botucatu. Estudou-se a reatividade da cinza pesada com a cal de carbureto, a influência da temperatura e do tempo de cura no desenvolvimento das reações pozolânicas, a influência de diferentes teores de resíduos na resistência à compressão simples, compressão diametral e durabilidade, objetivando definir uma mistura ótima e, ainda, o impacto ambiental da utilização da mistura ótima, através de ensaios de lixiviação e solubilização. Na Etapa Numérica foi estudado, através do Método dos Elementos Finitos, o comportamento de fundações superficiais apoiadas em dupla camada. O modelo utilizado para representar o comportamento do material cimentado e não-cimentado foi o elástico-plástico com critério de ruptura de Drucker-Prager e fluxo não-associado. Verificou-se, através de análise paramétrica, a influência da espessura da camada cimentada e do diâmetro da fundação, bem como a influência dos parâmetros dos materiais cimentado e não-cimentado na resposta carga x recalque de fundações superficiais. Na Etapa de Campo foram construídos aterros experimentais utilizando a mistura ótima determinada na Etapa de Laboratório e, sobre estes aterros, foram executados provas de carga de placas. A análise dos resultados obtidos nas três etapas levou às seguintes conclusões: é possível utilizar cinza pesada e cal de carbureto para estabilizar o solo residual de botucatu; o comportamento de fundações superficiais sobre solos cimentados é controlado pela relação espessura da camada cimentada diâmetro da fundação; os parâmetros ângulo de atrito e módulo de elasticidade da camada cimentada não influenciam os resultados de prova de carga; a ruptura da fundação é função de dois mecanismos progressivos, os quais são função das tensões de tração geradas na parte inferior da camada cimentada e das tensões cisalhantes existentes logo abaixo das bordas da fundação.

Estudo da incorporação de cinza e chamote gerado pela cerâmica vermelha ao próprio processo industrial

The ceramics industry generates waste at various stages of that process, defective products, waste from burning solid fuels, among others. This waste is dumped in landfills, garbage dumps or directly on roads, which has a negative environmental impact. This paper presents a study to incorporate the waste of algaroba wood and chamote (scrap pieces of ceramic already sintered), in to the ceramic material for making sealing blocks. The methodological procedures consist in the characterization of chemical and mineralogical residues, raw materials, and physical-mechanical of the formulations of mixes with clay, silt and waste. By pressing test pieces were produced using a pressure of 200 kgf/cm², varying compositions in the range of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of residue. The sintering was performed in a muffle furnace, with the temperature levels of 850 ° C, 900 ° C, 950 ° C, 1000 ° C and 1050 ° C. The evaluated physical and mechanical properties were: Water Absorption, Linear Shrinkage Burning, Apparent Porosity, Apparent Density and Mechanical Resistance to Flexion. Analysis was carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy on fracture surfaces of the specimens. Evaluation of linear shrinkage property drying and firing , water absorption and mechanical resistance to compression of the sealing blocks 5% wood ash residue, sintered at 900 °C hold temperature in the laboratory the products manufactured on an industrial scale. The main results, it was found on the viability of using the residues of algaroba wood and to confer refractory properties of the ceramic product. The main results, it was concluded feasibility of using the ash residues algaroba wood to impart refractory properties to the ceramic product and the residue of chamote, being derived from the own ceramic product not interfere with the properties, when used in a percentage of up to 5%.Since the residue of chamote being derived from the ceramic product itself had no effect on the properties. Studies in the laboratory have shown that the incorporation of up to 5% of these residues may be adopted as an alternative technology to reduce the environmental impact caused by the industrial sector, without compromising the final properties of the material, since the results on an industrial scale showed absorption values 11.66 and 11.74 of water and waste products respectively, within the parameters of NBR - 15,270, since the mechanical strength was 1.25 MPa and 0.94 MPa respectively for products with and without residue, lower than the minimum required by the technical standard that is 1.5 MPa.

Escória de aciaria elétrica em camadas granulares de pavimentos : estudo laboratorial

Esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de um estudo sobre o emprego da escória de aciaria elétrica como agregado para pavimentação. Este tipo de resíduo é gerado durante o processo de produção do aço em siderúrgicas que utilizam fornos elétricos a arco. As características mecânicas do agregado foram determinadas através de ensaios de granulometria, durabilidade ao sulfato de sódio, abrasão no equipamento de Los Angeles, compactação, índice de suporte Califórnia e módulo de resiliência. Constatou-se a necessidade de corrigir a granulometria da escória, procedimento que melhorou significativamente a capacidade de suporte e a trabalhabilidade do material. Através da avaliação do potencial expansivo do material concluiu-se que o tempo de estocagem mínimo para liberação do agregado é 4 meses. Após a correção granulométrica, a escória apresentou módulos de resiliência superiores aos de materiais granulares tradicionais, resultando em pavimentos mais esbeltos e econômicos. As características ambientais foram avaliadas através de ensaios de lixiviação e solubilização e o resíduo classificado como classe lI, ou seja, nãoinerte. Adicionalmente analisou-se a possibilidade de melhorar as características de resistência e trabalhabilidade do agregado através da adição de outros resíduos industriais (cinza pesada e cal de carbureto). Determinou-se a mistura ótima e avaliaram-se as característicasambientais e de deformabilidadeelástica. Os resultados do estudo permitem concluir que a escória de aciaria elétrica pode ser empregada como material de pavimentação, seja por meio de estabilização granulométrica ou pela modificação com cinza pesada e cal de carbureto, não provocando riscos ao meio ambiente e à saúde pública e proporcionando boa qualidade técnica e notáveis benefícios ambientais e econômicos.

Impact strength and abrasion resistance of high strength concrete with rice husk ash and rubber tires

The paper discusses the application of High Strength Concrete (HSC) technology for concrete production with the incorporation of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) residues by replacing a bulk of the material caking and rubber tires with partial aggregate volume, assessing their influence on the mechanical properties and durability. For concrete with RHA and rubber, it was possible to reduce the brittleness by increasing the energy absorbing capacity. With respect to abrasion, the RHA and rubber concretes showed lower mass loss than the concrete without residues, indicating that this material is attractive to be used in paving. It is thus hoped that these residues may represent a technological and ecological alternative for the production of concrete in construction works.

Obtenção de placas cerâmico a partir de formulações de massas triaxiais de resíduos de caulim, chamote de telha e cinza vegetal

The production of red ceramic is an industrial activity that causes an intense impact. The manufacture of its products considerably increases the demand for natural resources, mainly with the extraction of raw material. The ceramic material produced generates waste, such as ash firewood and chamote. The residue from the beneficiation of kaolin is deposited in a poor, degrades the environment and contaminate water sources and soil, constituting in this manner, ecological disasters. The main objective of this work is to develop the formulation of a ceramic product consisting solely of industrial solid wastes, from ceramic tiles, (chamote) residue of kaolin and ash firewood. It is assumed that this product made in the laboratory can be used in coatings, wall and floor. The aim is to facilitate the replacement of the raw material of original composition of a ceramic body, for waste, while the process of production equal to the conventionally used, so that the properties of the product are reproduced. This work is characterized waste as its chemical composition, analysis of particle size, X-ray diffraction and thermal behavior. Several formulations were studied. The mass of waste was prepared by dry process, pressed to 25 MPa, and then burned in muffle type oven to 850, 950, 1050 and 1150 °C. The results showed that it is technically possible to produce porous tiles only with waste. It was found that the formulations of bodies play a key role in the properties of the final product, as well as the sintering temperature and heating rates. RN in the waste of kaolin is estimated at 15,000 t/month, about 3,000 gray t/month and chamote with 10 million pieces/month damaged. The presence of carbonates of calcium and magnesium at 1050 ° C results in an appropriate porosity and mechanical strength. The formulation M3JE, composed of 69% waste of kaolin, 7.7% and 23.3% of chamote of gray, became suitable for porous materials with the strength and absorption within the level of national and international standards

Estudo de Argamassas com Cinza de Casca de Amêndoa

Perante o elevado consumo de materiais naturais no processo e produtos na área da construção civil, o reaproveitamento de resíduos é uma das soluções a ser estudada. As cinzas agroindustriais têm lugar de destaque entre estes resíduos, pois têm a possibilidade de aplicação em materiais cimentícios, reduzindo assim o consumo de cimento de Portland. O presente estudo debruça-se sobre a substituição parcial (1,5% e 5%) de cimento de Portland por cinzas de casca de amêndoa. Realizaram-se provetes com diferentes tipos de argamassas: (i) uma de controlo sem substituição de cimento (ARF); (ii) uma com 1,5% de substituição parcial de cimento por cinzas de casca de amêndoa (CCA 1,5%); (iii) e uma com 5% de substituição parcial de cimento por cinza de casca de amêndoa (CCA 5%). Executaram-se ensaios para resistências mecânicas aos 3, 7, 14, 28 e 41 dias de idade. A nível químico pode-se concluir que esta cinza de casca de amêndoa não apresentou qualquer potencial pozolânico. A trabalhabilidade na generalidade diminui ligeiramente, contendo cinza de casca de amêndoa, mas ainda assim considerando-se de fácil manuseamento. Em relação às resistências mecânicas, pode-se concluir que o ideal é a substituição parcial de cimento com 1,5%, pois as resistências diminuem com o uso de uma maior percentagem de substituição, ou seja, o ideal é substituir em pequenas percentagens. Com os dados obtidos, conclui-se que as cinzas testadas não apresentam características necessárias para serem consideradas pozolanas e se será viável a sua utilização mesmo como filer.

Contribuição ao estudo da disposição final e aproveitamento da cinza de lodo de estações de tratamento de esgotos sanitários como adição ao concreto

Com a ampliação dos sistemas de tratamento de esgotos sanitários, que vem ocorrendo no Brasil, surge um problema para o qual ainda não existem soluções definitivas, a forma de disposição final segura dos Lodos Sanitários, que são os resíduos sólidos advindos deste processo. Nesta pesquisa estuda-se as possibilidades de aproveitamento destes resíduos, após serem submetidos à incineração, na industria da construção, especificamente a sua utilização como adição ao concreto, substituindo parte do cimento Portland. Os aspectos estudados compreendem duas fases experimentais: na primeira, realiza-se uma caracterização química, física, morfológica e ambiental do resíduo, onde constata-se que o material apresenta potencial para ser utilizado como adição ao concreto e que, quanto ao aspecto ambiental é classificado como um resíduo não inerte, no qual também encontra-se compostos patogênicos; na segunda fase, estuda-se as possibilidades de utilização deste resíduo em substituição parcial do cimento, na confecção de concreto, verificando-se os efeitos nas propriedades do concreto fresco e endurecido, bem como a capacidade que este material tem em reter de forma segura o resíduo não inerte. Os resultados mostram que a cinza de Lodo pode ser utilizada como adição ao concreto, com efeito predominante de fíler, em percentuais até 20%, em concretos com relação água/aglomerante entre 0,65 e 1,10 Com a/(c+ad) = 0,65 e 0,80 se tem benefícios ambientais com a utilização desta adição, com a/(c+ad) = 0,95 e 1,10 se tem benefícios econômicos, com a redução do consumo de cimento e técnicos, com a melhoria das propriedades mecânicas dos concretos. Conforme os resultados de solubilização, em amostras de concreto, esta matriz é capaz de reter de forma segura os compostos nocivos presentes no resíduo.

Adição de subprodutos da cinza da casca de café (coffea canephora) em massa cerâmica para porcelanato

To produce porcelain tiles fluxing agents are used in order to obtain a liquid phase during firing. This liquid phase fills the pores decreasing porosity, water absorption and contributes to material densification. In the porcelain tiles industry, feldspar is the main flux material used, with quantities ranging between 35 and 50%. Studies focus on the discovery of materials with flux characteristics that can reduce the consumption of feldspar by porcelain tiles industry. In this context, the coffee husk ashes, a residue obtained when coffee husks are burned to produce heat for the dryers during the processing of the green fruit, have as main chemical constituents potassium, calcium and magnesium, giving them characteristics of fluxing material. Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world and is responsible for over 30% of the world s production. In this work a physical treatment of coffee husk ash was carried out in order to eliminate the organic matter and, after this, two by-products were obtained: residual wastes R1 and R2. Both residues were added separately as single fluxes and also in association with feldspar in mixtures with raw materials collected in a porcelain industry located in Dias d Ávila-Ba. The addition of these residues aimed to contribute to the reduction of the consumption of feldspar in the production of porcelain tiles. Specimens were produced with dimensions of 60 mm x 20 mm x 6 mm in an uniaxial die with compacting pressure of 45 MPa. The samples were heated to a temperature of 1200 °C, for 8 minutes. Tests were performed to characterize the raw materials by XRF, XRD, particle size analysis, DTA and TGA and, additionally, the results of the physical properties of water absorption, apparent porosity, linear shrinkage, density, dilatometry, flexural strength and SEM of sintered body were analyzed. Additions of less than 8% of the residue R1 contributed to the decrease of porosity, but the mechanical strength of the samples was not satisfactory. Additions of 5% the R2 residue contributed significantly to decrease the water absorption and apparent porosity, and also to increase the mechanical strength. Samples with addition of feldspar associated with the R2 residue, in proportions of 6.7% of R2 and 6.7% of feldspar, led to results of water absorption of 0.12% and mechanical strength of 46 MPa, having parameters normalized to the manufacture of porcelain stoneware tiles

Análise de Argamassas Com Substituição Parcial do Cimento Portland Por Cinza Residual de Lenha de Algaroba

With the increase in cement consumption, it has quickly become one of the inputs most consumed by mankind over the last century. This has caused an increase in CO2 emissions, as cement production releases large quantities of this gas into the atmosphere. Adding this fact to the growing consciousness of environmental preservation, it has led to a search for alternatives to cement to complement its derivatives, in the form of waste materials like the ashes. This research aimed to analyze the properties of mortars in fresh and hardened state with partial replacement of Portland cement by residual algaroba wood ash (CRLA) potteries produced by the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The CRLA was collected and sieved, where part of it was ground and characterized in comparison with that just sifted, being characterized according to its chemical composition, grain size, fineness, density, bulk density and index of pozzolanic activity. It was found that the wood ash does not act as pozzolan, and grinding it has not changed its characteristics compared to those just sifted, not justifying its use. Two traces were adopted for this research: 1:3 (cement: fine sand) and 1:2:8 (cement: hydrated lime: medium sand); both in volume, using as materials the CRLA just sifted, CP II F-32 Portland cement, CH-I hydrated lime, river sand and water from the local utility. For each trace were adopted six percentages of partial replacement of cement for wood ash: 0% (control) 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% and 15%. In the fresh state, the mortars were tested towards their consistency index and mass density. In the hardened state, they were tested towards their tensile strength in bending, compressive strength and tensile adhesion strength, and its mass density in the hardened state. The mortar was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, it was classified according to NBR 13281 (2005). The results showed that up to a content of 5% substitution and for both traces, the residual algaroba wood ash can replace Portland cement without compromising the mortars microstructure and its fresh and hardened state

In this paper the feasibility of using sewage sludge ash was studied in addition to Portland cement mortar in 1:3 mass considered the standard dash. This gray additions were studied in proportions of 5%, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25% and 30% by mass of cement. The methodology was focused on the characterization of materials by physical, chemical , mechanical , environmental and morphological followed by the production of mortar tests ,and finalized by the characterization tests of mortar in the fresh state, through the consistency index, content of entrained air, bulk density and water retention, and in the hardened state by bulk density, water absorption by capillarity capillarity coefficient, compressive strength, tensile strength in bending ,tensile bond strength and microstructural analysis for percentages of 0 to 20%. After comparing with the standard mortar mortars with addition of ash, it is concluded that the ash of sewage sludge did not impair the integrity and properties of mortars with addition, including increasing resistance to compression and tension, being 20% more indicated percentage. Thus, it becomes feasible the addition of sewage sludge ash in Portland cement mortar for the trait studied
