Comparative study of lightweight expanded aggregates made from masonry rubble or clay

  • Lightweight aggregates can be manufactured from masonry rubble by a thermal expanding process pursuing the idea of feedstock recycling. Throughout a series of research projects, the manufacturing process has been developed, optimized and scaled up. Various test results prove that the engineering properties of the new expanded masonry rubble aggregates are similar to those of traditional expanded clays. The aggregates show a heterogeneous and macroporous pore structure. The grains consist of cracks, cavities, large bulky pores and a solid skeleton containing small capillary pores as well as partly melted areas. But which differences and similarities exist to expanded clay aggregates, which are made from a relatively homogeneous clayey raw material? To answer this question, comparative studies on the chemical, physical, mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of expanded masonry rubble aggregates and commercial expanded clay aggregates have been conducted.

To answer this question, comparative studies on the chemical, physical, mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of expanded masonry rubble aggregates and commercial expanded clay aggregates have been conducted. In our contribution, results of particle shape and porosity measurements, mercury intrusion porosimetry and electron microscopy are presented. The microstructural characteristics are correlated with engineering properties, such as water absorption and particle strength.zeige mehrzeige weniger
