A Study on the Preparation of Lightweight Materials with Sewage Sludge Ash

The preparation of porous lightweight materials as well as the measurement of physical properties has been performed by using SSA(sewage sludge ash) as the raw material. For this aim, two types of lightweight filler, that is, perlite and silica sphere were employed respectively and bentonite was also used as an inorganic binder. The properties of lightweight specimen calcined at 1,000 were measured in terms of density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity and sound absorption to examine the effect of material composition as well as the preparation condition on the properties of lightweight material. As a result, the density of specimen prepared with perlite was ranged from 1.23 to $1.37g/cm^3$ and the compressive strength was ranged from 242.3 to $370.5kg/cm^2$. In case of specimen prepared with silica sphere, it was found that the compressive strength was less than $100kg/cm^2$ even though density was lower than that of specimen with perlite. As far as the thermal conductivity of specimen was concerned, it was ranged from 0.3 to $0.5W/m^{\circ}K$ depending on material composition so that the insulation effect was superior to conventional concrete.

하수(下水)슬러지 소각재(燒却滓)를 사용한 경량재료(輕量材料) 제조연구(製造硏究)

본 연구에서는 하수슬러지 소각재를 원료로 사용한 다공성 경량재료의 제조 및 물성측정 실험을 수행하였다. 경량충진재로써 perlite와 silica sphere의 2종류 경량물질을 각각 사용하였으며, 무기바인더로써 벤토나이트를 첨가하여 $1,000^{\circ}C$에서 소성하는 방법으로 경량재료를 제조하였다. 제조한 시편은 밀도, 압축강도, 열전도도 및 흡음율을 측정하여 원료 조성 및 제조 조건에 따른 각각의 물성변화를 조사하였다. 실험결과 perlite를 경량충진재로 사용한 시편의 밀도는 $1.23{\sim}1.37g/cm^3$, 압축강도는 $242.3{\sim}370.5kg/cm^2$로 나타났으며, silica sphere를 사용한 경우는 perlite에 비해 밀도가 낮고 압축강도가 $100kg/cm^2$ 이하인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 경량재료의 열전도도는 원료 조성에 따라 $0.3{\sim}0.5W/m^{\circ}K$의 수치를 보여 일반 콘크리트보다 단열효과가 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
