Abstract

The lightweight aggregates made of bottom ash (70 wt%) and dredged soil (30 wt%) were prepared to investigate the property differences at various sintering atmospheres. The green aggregates were sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$ and $1200^{\circ}C$ with oxidized, neutralized and reduced atmospheres. The aggregates sintered with oxidized atmosphere showed a clear border between shell and black core area. However, the aggregates sintered with a reduced atmosphere showed only black core area in the entire cross-section of the aggregates. The black core area of the aggregates sintered with a neutralized atmosphere increased with increasing $N_2$ gas flow rates. It was determined that the sintering atmosphere was similar to that of rotary kiln when the CO gas flow was 100 cc/min to make a reduced atmosphere in tube furnace. The water absorption rates of both aggregates from tube furnace with reduced atmosphere and rotary kiln were very similar to each other.

본 실험에서는 로터리 킬른으로 제조되는 인공경량골재의 실험실적 제어 가능성을 찾고자 여러 가지 소성조건에서 석탄 화력발전소에서 발생되는 바닥재와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였다. 인공경량골재 조성은 바닥재 70 wt%와 준설토 30 wt%의 무게비로 성형하였고, 산화 분위기, 불활성 분위기, 환원 분위기에서 각각 $1150^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 소성하여 제조된 인공경량골재는 산화 분위기에서 명확한 블랙코어와 껍질(shell)간의 경계를 보이나, 불활성 분위기에서는 질소량이 증가할수록 그리고 소성온도가 증가할수록 경계가 없어지는 경향을 보이며, 환원 분위기에서는 단면 전체가 진회색을 띄게 된다. 로터리 킬른의 분위기와 가장 근접한 소성 분위기는 불활성분위기였으며 밀도나 흡수율 또한 그것과 유사하였다. 이러한 결과로 소형 전기로에서 로터리 킬른의 환경과 유사하게 조건을 제어할 수 있고, 물성을 예측할 수 있는 실험이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
