Abstract

The aim of this research is suggesting dry processed bottom ash as a new and economical source of lightweight aggregate for mortar and concrete. The dry process of bottom ash is an advance method of water-free and no chloride because only cooled down by double dry conveyer belt systems. Furthermore, because of relatively slow cooling down process helps burning up the remaining carbon in bottom ash. Using this dry process bottom ash, to evaluate the feasibility of using as a lightweight aggregate for mortar and concrete, two-phase of experiments were conducted: 1) improving shape of the bottom ash, and 2) controlling grade of the bottom ash. From the first phase of experiment, additional abrasing process was conducted for round shape bottom ash, hence improved workability and compressive strength was achieved while unit weight was increased comparatively. Based on the better shape of bottom ash, from the second phase, various grades were adopted on cement mortar, standard grade showed the most favorable results on fresh and hardened properties. It is considered that the results of this research contribute on widening sustainable method of using bottom ash based on the dry process and increasing value of bottom ash as a lightweight aggregate for concrete.

본 연구의 목적은 건식공정을 통해 생산된 바텀애시를 이용하여 친환경적이고 저렴한 경량콘크리트의 잔골재로 활용하는 것이다. 기존의 습식공정과 비교하여 건식공정은 물에 닿지 않고, 염분이 없으며, 다소 느린 공정으로 완전연소를 통해 미연소탄소성분이 거의 없다. 이러한 건식공정 바텀애시를 경량 모르터용 잔골재로서 타당성을 평가하기 위해 골재의 입형 개선 효과와 최적 입도분포의 두가지 단계로 나누어 실험을 실시하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서 추가적인 마쇄과정을 통해 얻어진 양호한 입형의 바텀애시는 유동성과 강도 측면에서 양호한 결과를 나타내었으며 다소간의 단위용적질량 증가를 보였다. 두 번째 실험에서 다양한 입도를 구성하여 실험을 실시하였고, 그 결과 표준입도에 맞추어진 입도에서 굳지 않은 상태 및 경화상태에서 양호한 성능을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 차후 건식 공정을 통한 바텀애시의 활용방법이 확대되고, 바텀애시를 경량 잔골재로 활용함으로서 부가가치 상승에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.
