Abstract
Artificial lightweight aggregates were produced by using bottom ashes and dredged soils from coal power plant. The amount of glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces, specific gravities, absorption rates, and observations of cross-sectional surfaces were compared according to the compositions, sintering temperatures, and the amount of coating. It is concluded that surface modification by 10 % $CaCO_3$ coating on the aggregate surfaces enhances the properties of aggregates as follows: Specific gravities were controlled by depressing formation of large pores in the aggregates. Sticking phenomena among aggregates during the sintering process was drastically decreased by reducing glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces. Pumping problems during the application of ready-mix concretes containing lightweight aggregates having high value of absorption rates could be solved by reducing the absorption rate.
석탄 화력발전소에서 발생되는 바닥재와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였다. 소성 옹도별, 골재 조 성별, 그리고 석회석($CaCO_3$)을 코팅 양별 비교를 통하여 골재 표면에 형성된 융제량의 변화, 비중, 흡수율, 절단면 관찰 등의 골재 물성 비교가 수행되었다. 결론적으로 골재 무게비 $CaCO_3$ 10%를 골재 표면에 코팅하여 표면개질을 암으로써 골재 내부의 거대 기공의 형성을 억제시켜 비중을 조절할 수 있었으며, 표면 융제를 대폭 감소시켜 골재간 융착 현상을 방지할수 있으며, 흡수율 또한 효과적으로 감소시켜 경량골재를 포함한 경량콘크리트 타설시 펌핑 문제를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
