Abstract

Ecological lightweight aggregates were made in order to recycle the dredged soils from the seaside construction area and the bottom ashes from the power plant. Various physical and chemical analysis were performed on them to identify their possibility for applying lightweight concrete fields. Lightweight aggregates were made of bottom ashes and dredged soils from Yongheung Island which is located 20km west away from Seoul, and all the raw materials were milled before mixing. The physical and chemical properties such as density, absorption rate, stability, alkali latency reaction, heavy metal leaching of the lightweight aggregates were tested and analysed by following the KS standard procedures. From the size analysis, the coarse aggregates showed a suitable fit on standard particle ranges; however, the fine aggregates showed a large deviation from the standard. The absorption rates were increased with decreasing weight of the aggregates. All the aggregates were turned out to be safe by the stability and heavy metal leaching test; however, some of the aggregates were confirmed on the border of harmless and possibly harmful region through the alkali latency reactivity test.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 저회와 준설공사 시 발생하는 준설토를 효과적으로 자원화하기 위하여 인공경량골재를 만들어 경량콘크리트에 적용 가능한지 물리 화학적 분석을 진행하였다. 서울에서 20 km 서쪽에 위치해 있는 영흥도에서 발생된 저회와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였으며, 모든 원료는 혼합 전 분쇄하여 사용되었다. 제조된 골재는 KS에 의거하여 입도시험, 표건밀도와 흡수율 시험, 안정성, 알칼리 잠재반응, 중금속 용출 시험을 진행하였다. 입도분석에서 굵은 골재는 적정 조립율 값을 나타내었고, 잔골재는 조립율의 범위를 벗어났다. 경량화 될수록 흡수율이 증가하는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 안정성 및 중금속 용출 시험 결과 무해한 것으로 판단되었으나, 알칼리 잠재 반응성 확인 결과 몇몇 조성을 제외하고 무해한 골재로 판정되었다.
