Abstract

The aim of the research is to suggest an economical and sustainable method of reducing pH of recycled aggregate as an embanking and a covering materials. Because of the unhydrated cement based materials on the surface of the recycled aggregate, it causes a severe problem on environment with leaked high alkali water from embankment and covering by using recycled aggregate. In this research, to reduce the pH of recycled aggregate, regarding the recycled fine aggregate, eight different methods were tested and analyzed with three different categorized: natural treatment, artificial treatment, and chemical treatment. From the results of experiment, it was considered that the most efficient method of reducing pH of recycled aggregate was the chemical treatment using acid such as $CO_2$ acceleration or monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and diammonium phosphate (DAP). Especially, using MAP and DAP, fertilizers, is the most efficient method of reducing pH with its time duration and performance.

순환골재가 복토 및 성토용으로 활용되는 경우 순환골재 표면의 미수화 시멘트로부터 발생하는 높은 pH의 침출수는 환경에 큰 영향을 주는 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 높은 pH의 침출수를 방지하기 위해 순환골재의 효율적인 알칼리 제거 방안에 대해 실험적으로 비교분석 하였다. 실험결과 순환골재의 높은 알칼리성을 감소시키기 위해서는 단순 야적 및 물을 이용한 씻기 방법보다는 비료를 사용한 처리방법이 가장 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 비료의 종류인 인산암모늄과 이인산암모늄을 활용하여 순환골재를 중화시켰고 그 결과 약 3주 만에 pH 8의 중성에 가까운 순환잔골재를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 순환골재를 토공사용으로 사용할 때에 보다 환경에 안전한 지속가능한 재료로서 활용하는 데에 기여할 것으로 예상한다.
