Abstract

The artificial lightweight aggregate (ALA) was manufactured using coal bottom ashes produced from a thermoelectric power plant with clay and, the sintering temperature and batch composition dependence upon physical properties of ALA were studied. The bottom ash (BA) had 13wt% coarse particle (>4.75mm) and showed very irregular shape so should be crushed to fine particles to be formed with clay by extrusion process. Also the bottom ash contained a many unburned carbon which generates the gas by oxidation and lighten a aggregate during a sintering process. Plastic index of green bodies decreased with increasing bottom ash content but the extrusion forming process was possible for the green body containing BA up to 40wt% whose plastic index and plastic limit were around 10 and 22 respectively. The ALA containing $30{\sim}40wt%$ BA sintered at $1100{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ showed a volume specific density of $1.3{\sim}1.5$ and water absorption of $13{\sim}15%$ and could be appled for high-rise building and super-long bridge.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄 바닥재(bottom ash)와 점토를 혼합하여 성형 후, 소성하여 인공경량골재를 제조하고, 소성온도와 조성 변화에 따른 물성을 분석하였다. 바닥재는 입경이 4.75mm 이상인 입자가 13wt% 정도로 거친 분말로 압출성형을 위하여 미분쇄 공정이 필요하였다. 또한 바닥재는 미연탄소(C)를 다량 함유하고 있어 소결 시 C의 산화반응과 이에 따른 가스발생으로 소결체의 경량화를 유도하였다. 점토에 바닥재 첨가량이 증가할수록 소성 지수가 감소하였고 이에 따라 성형체의 성형성이 저하되었으나 바닥재 첨가량이 40wt% 까지의 성형체는 소성 지수 및 소성 한계값이 각각 약 10과 22로서 압출성형이 가능하였다. 바닥재가 $30{\sim}50wt%$ 첨가되고 $1150{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 소결된 골재는 부피비중 $1.3{\sim}1.5$, 흡수율 $14{\sim}16%$를 나타냈고 따라서 고층빌딩이나 교량 등의 골재대체재로써의 가능성이 확인되었다.
