Abstract

Plasticity of clay bodies containing bottom ashes(BA) and small portion of other wastes was investigated. Plasticity indices of clay bodies using Atterberg limits were measured. It was confirmed that the plasticity indices could be applicable in actual forming process by extrusion. The forming possible compositions were found by changing the contents of water, bottom ash, stone dust, and sewage sludge. The relationship between the plasticity and physical properties of the aggregate green body was also investigated. The compositions for extrusion forming can be expected by measured the plasticity indices and these results were confirmed by real extrusion process. There is also strong relationship between the plasticity indices and the property of aggregate green body.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄 바닥재를 효과적으로 재활용하기 위해 여러 가지 폐기물을 함유한 점토소지와 바닥재를 첨가한 점토소지의 가소성 지수를 Atterberg 한계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그리고 압출 성형을 통하여 가소성 지수가 실제 성형공정에 적용 가능한지를 확인하였다. 수분, 바닥재 함유량, 그리고 석분과 하수오니의 첨가 조성을 달리해 성형이 가능한 조성을 찾았으며, 골재를 만들어 가소성에 따라 성형체의 물성이 어떻게 바뀌는지 조사하였다. 가소성 지수로 압출성형이 가능한 조성을 찾을 수 있으며, 실제로도 압출 성형이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 가소성과 골재 성형체의 물성을 관찰한 결과 첨가 폐기물의 종류에 따라 차이는 있었지만 일반적으로 가소성 지수가 낮아지면, 소지의 비중은 낮아졌으며, 흡수율은 증가하는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
