Due to the large quantities of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in Europe, its reuse or recycling is of particular importance. Although several countries already recycle high amounts of CDW, the use as secondary raw materials is often limited by inferior building material properties. Specific characteristics, like high porosity and low density are caused by hardened cement paste in crushed concrete and the content of mortar and plaster in brick debris. Impurities like wood or gypsum and also harmful substances like organic pollutants may be a major problem for a reuse and should be minimized. Therefore unwanted materials and impairing substances have to be separated from the secondary building material stream. This can be done during the demolition process by using techniques for selective dismantling or during the subsequent treatment of the resulting rubble. Since almost all processing steps are associated with environmental impacts, the benefits of saving natural resources by applying secondary building materials should be weighed carefully. An environmental performance evaluation was undertaken to assess different techniques for reducing gypsum in recycled concrete aggregates, aiming at a minimization of elutable sulfates. These results were compared to the environmental impacts of the extraction of natural aggregates for concrete.
In dem Projekt sollten die Aufbereitung der Betonbrechsandfraktion aus Bauschutt mittels eines Nassverfahrens zu einer geeigneten Gesteinskörnung für die Betonherstellung sowie die vollständige Verwertung der bei diesem Verfahren anfallenden Reststoffe demonstriert werden.
Der im Rahmen der geordneten Vorsortierung mit zahlreichen Schritten zur Qualitätssicherung hergestellte Betonbrechsand war qualitativ hochwertig und wies nur geringe Schadstoffgehalte auf. Für die Nassaufbereitung des Betonbrechsands wurde vom Projektpartner Allmineral der Prototyp einer Sandsetzmaschine zur Dichtetrennung designt und konstruiert. Diese Sandsetzmaschine wurde für die umfangreichen Betonbrechsandversuche in die Aufbereitungsanlage der BAM integriert. Begleitend zur Aufbereitung wurden die eingesetzten Materialien, Bauschutt und Prozesswasser, sowie die Austragsprodukte chemisch-physikalisch und mineralogisch untersucht.
Die anschließenden Baustoffuntersuchungen zeigten, dass durch das im Demonstrationsprojekt angewandte Nassaufbereitungsverfahren eine deutliche Verbesserung der Materialeigenschaften des Betonbrechsandes erzielt werden konnte. Die Qualität von Natursteinkörnungen wurde (z.B. aufgrund von Kornschädigungen durch den Bruch des Altbetons und noch verbleibende Zementanhaftungen) gleichwohl nicht erreicht. Gerade die Betonprüfungen (mit Anteilen von bis zu 50% Betonbrechsand an der gesamten Gesteinskörnung) haben jedoch gezeigt, dass es dennoch sehr wohl möglich wäre, größere Mengen von aufbereitetem Betonbrechsand in der Betonherstellung zu verwerten und so im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit den Verbrauch von natürlichen Sandvorkommen zu reduzieren.
Die bei der Nassaufbereitung des Betonbrechsands anfallenden Restsstoffe, nämlich die Fraktionen Leichtgut und Feinstfraktion wurden separat erfasst und bilanziert. Diese Materialien wurden auf die Eignung als Kompostzugabe in Hinblick auf Schadstoffanreicherungen und Pflanzenverträglichkeit untersucht (Projektpartner Deisl). Nach der Kompostierung in Rotteboxen wurden Wachstumsversuche mit dem Referenzgewächs Kresse (Kressetest nach ÖNORM) mit zufriedenstellenden Ergebnissen durchgeführt. Die Reststoffe Feinstgut und Leichtgut aus dem Nassaufbereitungsprozess könnten – sofern die Schadstoffgehalte nachweislich unter den vorgegebenen Grenzwerten liegen – als Zugabe zur Vererdung in der Kompostierung eingesetzt werden.
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.

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.
