Description
SPECIFICATION
Mixture for the production of light-weight aggregates for building materials
The invention relates to a mixture for the production of light-weight aggregates for building materials.
Light-weight aggregates serve for reducing the weight and saving on quantities in the production of building materials, for example in the production of bricks, light-weight concrete, mortar and the like. However, for these light-weight aggregates, a high percentage of clay is required, for example at least approximately 85% by weight, which is a valuable raw material.
It is the object of the invention to provide a mixture of the above type so that the proportion of clay can be reduced.
The invention provides a mixture for the production of light-weight aggregates for building materials comprising between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil, between 10% and 80% by weight of expandable clay, and a filler as the residue.
The constituents of such mixture are processed to form a high-quality product, which otherwise would have to be produced mainly by using up raw materials. In this case, materials even containing harmful substances, such as for example heavy metals, organic impurities and the like, can be used as fillers, which otherwise could only be stored on dumps, since the harmful content precludes the use of these substances for example in agriculture. With the mixture according to the invention, it is possible to produce a valuable light-weight aggregate, which has a low bulk weight, high resistance to compression and good thermal insulating properties.The lightweight aggregate produced from the mixture according to the invention is therefore eminently suitable for the production of building blocks with a good thermal insulating property, as an additive to light-weight structural concrete and as an aggregate for insulating plaster, for additional thermal inf ulation or for insulating mortar. The cost-incurring removal of waste products is replaced by the economic reincorporation of the waste products in the economic cycle of goods, in which case due to the goods produced, a raw material can be saved, which can be used elsewhere.
In a first embodiment of a mixture according to the invention, between 10% and 80% by weight of expandable clay, and between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil, and river and/or sea sediments as the residue, are used. Opaline clay (Dogger a, Jura) or top speckled marl (central red marl, km 3) for example is used as good expandable clay. The river and/or sea sediments are obtained by the dredging of flowing and stagnant waters.
The sediments may be contaminated with
harmful substances. During subsequent pro
cessing of the mixture, the sediments are
surrounded by a sintered skin at the time of
cooling, so that they can no longer exert any
harmful effect. Insofar that the harmful sub
stances pass into the gaseous state before
reaching the expansion temperature, such as
for example cadmium, these harmful sub
stancas are discharged and collected in dust
filters or the like. It is therefore unnecessary to
remove the harmful substances from the sedi
ments produced when dredging the waters,
which would require complicated and expen
sive operations.
In a preferred embodiment, the mixture
consists of less than 30% by weight of clay,
between 68% and 88% by weight of river
and/or sea sediments, and substantially 2%
by weight of waste oil. With this mixture it is
possible to produce a light-weight aggregate
which has a particularly low bulk weight and
a high strength. In this mixture it is possible
to use exclusively river sediments or exclu
sively sea sediments or a mixture of river and
sea sediments. Preferably fine-grained river
and sea sediment is used.
In a further embodiment, the mixture ac
cording to the invention consists of between
10% and 80% by weight of expandable clay,
between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil,
and of ashes and/or muds as the residue.
As the ash, fly ash for example is available,
which consists essentially of very fine mineral
substances, which occur in modern filter and
separating plants of coal fired power stations.
As the mud, red mud for example can be
used, as it occurs in the production of alumi
nium from bauxite. The light-weight aggregate
produced from this mixture is characterised by
low bulk weights. Above all, the addition of
fly ash increases the strength of the light
weight aggregate considerably, even with re
spect to the first embodiment of the mixture.
In the second embodiment, the mixture may
contain solely fly ash or solely mud or a
mixture of ash and mud. In a preferred em
bodiment, between 10% and 30% by weight
of clay, between 68% and 88% by weight of
ash and/or mud, and substantially 2% by
weight of waste oil are used. Opaline clay or
top speckled marl for example can once again
be used as expandable clay.
In a third embodiment of the mixture ac
cording to the invention, between 10% and
80% by weight of clay, between 1% and 5%
by weight of waste oil, and river and/or sea
sediments as the residue and ashes and/or
muds in any ratio with respect to each other
are used. A preferred composition of this
mixture is between 10% and 30% by weight
of clay, substantially 2% by weight of waste
oil, and between 68% and 88% by weight of
fine-grained river and/or sea sediments mixed
with ashes and/or muds in any ratios. The mixing ratios of river and/or sea sediments and ashes and/or muds depends on the desired strength of the light-weight aggregate. If high strengths are required, such as for example for light-weight concrete, a greater proportion of ashes and/or muds is used.
Accordingly, the strength of the light-weight aggregate is reduced, if the proportion of ash and/or mud is low.
In all the embodiments, the sediments, ashes and muds are fine-grained, in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture. With the mixtures described, the proportion of clay is reduced, so that this valuable raw material can be saved. In particular, in the mixtures according to the invention, the major part consists of waste products, which consequently do not need to be deposited, but can be used immediately for the production of light-weight aggregates.
Preferably, each of the mixtures described contains a proportion of red mud, which is present in a concentration of between 1% and 10% by weight in the mixtures.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, as an additional constituent, the mixture contains an auxiliary expanding agent. According to the quantity of auxiliary expanding agent added, the proportion of clay in the mixture can be reduced. For example, if 3% auxiliary expanding agent is added to a mixture of 70% filler, for example sediments, 25% clay and 5% other additives, then the proportion of clay can be reduced to approximately 15% and the proportion of filler increased to approximately 77%. With the auxiliary expanding agent, a high and satisfactory expansion capacity is achieved in the expanded clay production from the mixture. The individual components of the mixture are mixed with water and granulated and then dried and preheated. After drying, the granulated material is burnt and thus expanded.During this expansion process, each granule obtains its light-weight properties. The expansion operation is controlled so that the granules already have a closed sintered skin, when the expansion operation begins. The gases necessary for the expansion are thus prevented from escaping. As a result of the auxiliary expansion agent, despite the reduced proportion of clay, an extremely high and good expansion capacity is achieved, so that the expanded granulated material has a very low bulk weight and very high resistance to compression. The light-weight aggregate produced from the ix- ture is therefore eminently suitable for the production of building blocks with a good thermal insulating capacity, as an addition to structural light-weight concrete and as an aggregate for insulating plaster for additional thermal insulation or for insulating mortar.
Waste products are likewise used extensively for the mixture, so that these waste products no longer need to be removed in an expensive manner. This removal is replaced by economic reincorporation of the waste products into the economic cycle of goods, in which case due to the goods produced, other raw materials can be saved for processing elsewhere.
River and/or sea sediments can be used as fillers. These fillers, which otherwise would have to be removed in an expensive manner, such as for example sediments contaminated with heavy metals from storage dams and reservoirs, can now be used for the production of a high quality light-weight aggregate for building materials. Due to the addition of the auxiliary expanding agents, even larger quantites of these fillers can be made into a high quality light-weight aggregate, together with less use of the valuable raw material clay. Instead of river and/or sea sediments or together with the latter, ashes and muds can also be used. The expanded clay has a closed, smooth sintered skin, fine uniformly distributed pores and high strength.
When using the mixture according to the invention, considerably improved pelletability of the expanded clay is also achieved.
In one mixture between 10% and 80% by weight of expandable clay, between 1% and 5% by weight of auxiliary expanding agent, between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil and between 10% and 88% by weight of river and/or sea sediments as the residue are used. The river and/or sea sediments are obtained when dredging flowing and stagnant waters and may contain harmful substances.
These harmful substances are enclosed by the sintered skin during the production of expanded clay, so that they can no longer exert any harmful effect. Insofar that these harmful substances pass into the gaseous state before reaching the expansion temperature, such as for example cadmium, they are discharged and collected in dust filters or the like. It is therefore unnecessary to remove harmful substances from the sediments produced when dredging waters, which would necessitate complicated and expensive processes.
In another mixture, between 10% and 80% by weight of clay, between 1% and 5% by weight of auxiliary expansion agent, between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil and between 10% and 88% by weight of ashes and muds as the residue are used. Fly ashes can be used for example as the ashes, the latter consisting essentially of mineral substances in the form of a fine dust, which occur in modern filtering and separating plants of coal fired power stations. Communal waste water muds or industrial muds of organic, metallic or mineral nature can be used as mud. The light-weight aggregate produced from this mixture is characterised by low bulk weights. Above all the addition of fly ash clearly increases the strength of the lightweight aggregate. The mixture may contain solely ash or solely mud or a mixture of ash and mud.
In a further embodiment between 10% and 80% by weight of expandable clay, between 1% and 5% by weight of auxiliary expansion agent, between 1% and 5% by weight of waste oil and between 10% and 88% by weight of river and/or sea sediments and ashes and/or muds as the residue are used.
The river and/or sea sediments can be mixed in any proportions with respect to each other with ashes and/or muds. The proportions of the mixture depend on the desired strength of the light-weight aggregate. If high strengths are required, such as for example for lightweight concrete, a greater proportion of ashes and/or muds is used. The proportion of ashes and/or muds is correspondingly less, if the strength of the light-weight aggregate is intended to be lower. In all embodiments, the sediments, ashes and muds are fine-grained, in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
An alkaline binder is preferably used as the auxiliary expanding agent, by which the constituents of the mixture can be held together firmly. Cements, for example Portland cement, are preferably used as auxiliary expanding agents.
