Lightweigt concrete with recycling aggregates made from masonry rubble and rubble-clay mixtures
(2018)
Structural lightweight concrete is a construction material composed primarily of lightweight aggregates (LWA), cement and water. Most LWA are produced by thermal treatment of natural raw materials such as clay and shale today. In addition to the high energy costs thereby incurred, the availability of suitable raw materials is limited. An alternative is the use of recycling LWA made from Mineral construction and demolition waste. Recycling LWA made from masonry rubble and rubble-clay mixtures were studied in two different research projects. The technology pursues the idea of feedstock recycling, which means the recycling is based on the chemical and mineralogical composition of the masonry rubble and clay. The recycling LWA are produced in a multistage manufacturing process by thermal hardening in laboratory and pilot scale. Their particle bulk densities and particle strengths vary between 600 and 2000 kg/m³ and 1.5 and 13 MPa, respectively. Their equivalence to traditional LWA was proven in comprehensive tests of the aggregates themselves as well as the mortars and concretes made therefrom. Our contribution reports on the results of the characterization of the recycling aggregates compared to expanded clays and the studies on LWA concretes.
Closed material cycles and unmixed material fractions are required to achieve high recovery and recycling rates in the building industry. The growing diversity of construction and demolition waste is leading to increasing difficulties in separating the individual materials. Manual sorting involves many risks and dangers for the executing staff and is merely based on obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. An automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions.
A joint project of partners from industry and research institutions approaches this task by investigating and testing the combination of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and visual (VIS)/ near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Joint processing of information (data fusion) is expected to significantly improve the sorting quality of various materials like concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, etc., and may enable the detection and separation of impurities such as SO3-containing building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.). Focusing on Berlin as an example, the entire value chain will be analyzed to minimize economic/technological barriers and obstacles at the cluster level and to sustainably increase recovery and recycling rates.
First LIBS measurements show promising results in distinguishing various material types. A meaningful validation shall be achieved with further practical samples. Future works will investigate the combination of LIBS and VIS/NIR spectroscopy in a fully automated measurement setup with conveyor belt speeds of 3 m/s.
Beim Recycling von Bau- und Abbruchabfällen werden bisher bevorzugt einfache, aber bewährte Techniken eingesetzt, um große Mengen an Bauschutt in kurzer Zeit zu verarbeiten. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu den immer komplexer werdenden Verbundwerkstoffen und Strukturen in der Mineralbaustoffindustrie. Die manuelle Sortierung birgt viele Risiken und Gefahren für das ausführende Personal und basiert lediglich auf offensichtlichen, visuell erkennbaren Unterschieden zur Trennung. Eine automatisierte, sensorgestützte Sortierung dieser Baustoffe könnte diese Praxis ergänzen oder ersetzen, um die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit, die Recyclingquoten, die Sortierqualität und die gesundheitlichen Bedingungen zu verbessern.
Ein gemeinsames Projekt von Partnern aus Industrie und Forschungseinrichtungen nähert sich dieser Aufgabe, indem es die Kombination von Laser-induzierter Breakdown-Spektroskopie (LIBS) und VIS/NIR-Spektroskopie untersucht und testet. Durch die gemeinsame Verarbeitung der Informationen soll die Sortierqualität verschiedener Materialien wie Beton, Hauptmauerwerksbaustoffe, organische Bestandteile usw. deutlich verbessert werden. Darüber hinaus könnten Verunreinigungen wie SO3-haltige Baustoffe (Gips, Porenbeton usw.) erkannt und getrennt werden.
Wir stellen aktuelle Fortschritte und Ergebnisse der Entwicklung eines Prüfstands vor, der LIBS mit NIR-Spektroskopie und visueller Bildgebung kombiniert. In Zukunft wird dieser Laborprototyp als vollautomatischer Messaufbau dienen, um eine Echtzeitklassifizierung von Bau- und Abbruchabfällen auf einem Förderband zu ermöglichen.
Half of the global material consumption is mineral material. The circularity is still low so that enhanced use of secondary building material is required to close loops. Three different secondary building materials are discussed based on exemplary research results: construction and demolition waste (C&D waste), soil-like material and incineration bottom ash (IBA). Focus was laid on the environmental compatibility of the materials examined mainly by standardized leaching tests. C&D waste was investigated after a wet treatment using a jigging machine, soil-like material and IBA were characterized with respect to their material composition. The environmental compatibility in particular was studied using standard leaching tests (batch tests and column tests). It was concluded that soil-like material can mostly be utilized even when the precautionary limit values set are exceeded by a factor of less than 2. For C&D waste the fine fraction below 2 mm and the content of brick material is problematic. IBA fulfills quality level HMVA-2 following German regulation. Higher quality levels of utilization might be achievable with better treatment technologies.
