Characteristics of Concrete Sidewalk Block Manufactured Using Stone Powder Sludge and photocatalytic agent

This study examined the efflorescence characteristics of a concrete sidewalk block manufactured using recycled stone powder sludge and photocatalytic generated by surface polishing during the sidewalk block manufacturing process. The study evaluated the characteristics of the sidewalk block in terms of its quality, based on the amount of stone powder sludge used, efflorescence, and further based on the mixing ratio and number of applications of the photocatalytic. The experimental results indicated that heavy metals such as lead, hexavalent chrome, cadmium, and mercury were not present in the concrete sidewalk block, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the recycled stone powder sludge. The optimum mixing ratio of used in the concrete sidewalk block (for satisfying KS standard values such as water absorption ratio and flexural strength) was found to be 20%. The concrete sidewalk block incorporating the stone powder sludge and photocatalytic exhibited a water absorption ratio of 5.4% and flexural strength of 5.2 MPa, thereby satisfying the quality standards. Additionally, when the photocatalytic was used, efflorescence did not occur even at the low temperature of $-5^{\circ}C$, and the by the sidewalk block was found to be 70% under normal conditions and 68% when subjected to an accelerated weathering test.

석분슬러지와 광촉매제를 사용한 콘크리트 보도블록의 특성

본 연구는 보도블록 제조시 표면 연마 과정에서 발생되는 석분슬러지의 재활용 및 광촉매제를 사용하여 콘크리트 보도블록의 백화 특성을 검토한 것으로 석분슬러지 사용량에 따른 보도블록의 품질특성과 광촉매제의 혼입률 및 도포횟수 등에 따른 보도블록의 백화, 대기정화 등의 특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 석분슬러지를 재활용한 콘크리트 보도블록은 납, 6가크롬, 카드뮴, 수은 등의 중금속이 불검출 되어 재활용이 가능하며, 콘크리트 보도블록에 혼입사용 할 경우 흡수율 및 휨강도 등 KS 기준 값을 충족시킬 수 있는 혼입량은 20%가 최적임을 나타내었다. 석분슬러지 및 광촉매제를 적용한 콘크리트 보도블록은 흡수율 5.4%, 휨강도 5.2MPa로 품질기준을 만족하였다. 또한 광촉매제의 사용은 $-5^{\circ}C$의 저온환경 조건에서도 백화가 발생되지 않았으며, 대기정화 성능 70%, 촉진내후성 시험후 대기정화 성능시험 68%의 기능성을 나타내었다.
