T1 - Advantages of recycling gypsum plasterboards N2 - Advantages of recycling gypsum plaster boards During the last decades the material composition of buildings has become increasingly diverse. However, largely sorted material flows are needed for generating high quality secondary building materials. The use of secondary building materials can meet the requirements of sustainability in several ways: the extended time availability of primary raw materials and, thereby, the preservation of natural resources as well as the conservation of landfill sites. Recycling of gypsum (calcium sulfate) can be a good example for the environmental benefits of closed-loop recycling. The content of sulfates in other secondary building materials, in particular in recycled concrete aggregates, should be minimized for quality reasons. In contrast, separated gypsum can also be used in gypsum production if the high quality requirements for the recycled gypsum are met. Since almost all processing steps in the recycling process are associated with environmental impacts, an environmental evaluation of the use of recycled gypsum as a substitute in gypsum production has to be carefully conducted. This paper focusses on the techniques for generating recycled gypsum from gypsum plasterboards, the related quality requirements and a comprehensive environmental evaluation of the complete process.

Wolff (ed.), Restaurierung und Konservierung historischer Glasmalereien, Mainz, 2000. Within the context of this research programme, scientists and conservators collaborated to assess various cleaning methods for historical stained glass. For cleaning glass surfaces there are the mechanical methods already being applied in most workshops, as well as the new chemical cleaning possibilities. Laboratory experiments were conducted initially on model glass in order to test the effectiveness and damage potential of these various methods; the model glass was examined both before and after cleaning by means of light microscopy and infra-red spectroscopy. In addition to this, cleaning tests were carried out on samples of original glass; electron-ray micro-analysis was also used to evaluate the results of these tests. The model-glass samples were corroded in advance by accelerated weathering in an attempt to simulate the damage seen on medieval glass. Enough model glass was prepared to allow any number of series of experiments to be carried out, in order to compare the effectiveness and suitability of the various chemical and mechanical methods and techniques. For the mechanical cleaning tests, a wide range of selected tools was tested by different conservators on pre-corroded model glass. This showed clearly that the success (or lack of it) of a cleaning episode was determined not just the choice of tool, but by the skill with which conservator wielded it. This observation was later confirmed by research on samples of original glass. Insensitive handling of tools or unsuitable tools could damage or completely destroy the gel layer. The gel layer should not be damaged, as this leads to increased levels of corrosion subsequently, though the encrustations should be reduced, as their hygroscopic qualities accelerate the corrosion processes. At the next stage, chemical cleaning methods were tested, and the results of cleaning with organic solvents (toluene, ethanol, acetone, etc.) and water-based solutions (oxalic acids, EDTA, ammoniac, etc.) compared with one another and evaluated. It became clear that strongly acidic and alkaline solutions, depending on the condition of the surface, could cause damage or have uncontrollable consequences. In the specific case of the glass from Erfurt Cathedral, for whose firmly fixed, very hard, opaque encrustations mechanical methods proved to be either ineffective or damaging to the glass, new chemical cleaning possibilities had to be found. Following comprehensive preliminary tests on model glass, various types of ion-exchanger and ammonium-carbonate solution were chosen. Both methods were successful in improving the transparency of some (but not all) of the samples. The experiments with the original material from Erfurt Cathedral clearly showed that successful cleaning was dependent on the particular composition of the encrustation. Really gentle cleaning can be achieved by chemical means, though only when the chemical agents are tailored to individual damage situations; this can only be achieved when scientific analysis is undertaken in tandem with the cleaning processes. The assessment of these mechanical and chemical cleaning methods was oriented towards treating corrosion on sensitive medieval glass. Nineteenth-century glass is generally less sensitive, though cleaning of this material must also be careful and very gentle. Scientific analysis alone is not enough to determine the choice of cleaning method, but can act as an aid to the conservator in selecting the right cleaning agent and method.

T1 - Environmental evaluation of different ways to produce recycled concrete aggregates N2 - Due to the great quantities of construction and demolition waste in Europe, the reuse of building material waste as secondary raw materials is of particular importance. A recycling of building materials can meet the requirements of sustainability in several aspects: the extended time availability of primary raw materials and the related protection of natural resources as well as the saving of landfill sites. In recent years sulphates originating from gypsum in secondary building materials, made of construction and demolition waste, received growing attention. Sulphates are unwanted in secondary building materials for concrete production as well as for other use e.g. in unbounded layers. The content of gypsum resp. sulphates in secondary aggregates can be reduced by different methods. Depending on the type of material different steps for selective dismantling can be used to separate gypsum containing residues from concrete rubble. Furthermore some steps for the processing of building rubble are suitable for the reduction of sulphates in the produced aggregates. An environmental evaluation of different ways for the production of recycled concrete aggregates was performed with regard to a reduction of sulphates in the secondary building material. The use of techniques for selective dismantling was environmentally advantegous for the deconstruction of three investigated model houses.

A1 - Sutter, J. T1 - Environmental Evaluation of Gypsum Plasterboard Recycling N2 - Gypsum is widely used in the construction sector and its worldwide consumption has been increasing for several decades. Depending on the life-time of the used gypsum products, an increase of gypsum in construction and demolition waste follows. Especially against the background of a circular economy, the recycling of waste gypsum is of growing importance. However, the use of recycled gypsum makes only sense if it is environmentally friendly. Therefore, an evaluation of the environmental impacts of an industrial-scale processing for the recycling of post-consumer gypsum waste was conducted. The evaluation was performed with an established life cycle assessment software. Original data provided by industry and complementary data from a database for life cycle assessments were used for the calculations. Two scenarios for recycled gypsum with different transportation distances were calculated. These results are compared with results of the environmental evaluation of gypsum derived from coal-fired power plants (FGD gypsum) and natural gypsum. The results show that utilization of recycled gypsum can be environmentally advantageous compared to the use of natural gypsum or FGD gypsum, especially in the impact categories land transformation and resource consumption (abiotic depletion potential). For most environmental impact categories the specific transportation distances have a strong influence.
