It relates to a building material and a manufacturing method thereof.

In general, sludge is an optimum sludge produced by spontaneous deposition on sewage and wastewater sludge, streams, lakes, and coasts, which are by-product wastewater sludge produced in the production of tap water, sewage and wastewater treatment plants. Among these slurries, sediment sludge is not as high as other sludges in recycling, but contains contaminants that are harmful to the human body. The purified water, sewage and wastewater sludges are by-products generated by the final flocculation and sedimentation during the treatment process. As a result, the water content is very high, the water is difficult to desorb and contaminated with heavy metals. In addition, it contains a large amount of organic matter easily decomposes naturally and gives off a bad smell, pollutes the surrounding environment and causes headaches and vomiting when inhaled.

The treatment of sludge as described above is mostly dependent on ocean dumping, incineration or simple landfill. However, in the case of ocean dumping, it is recognized as the main culprit of the deepening of marine ecosystem destruction. In addition, incineration causes social problems by releasing so-called highly toxic carcinogens such as dioxin, formaldehyde, and acrolein due to incomplete combustion, which is not suitable for the situation of Korea where energy resources are insufficient due to the high construction and maintenance costs. It is a way. Also, even in the case of landfill, it is difficult to secure landfill, and complaints related to leachate problems, pathogenic bacteria, eggs of pests, dust generation, odor occurrence, etc. are constantly raised and difficult to handle.

Many techniques for treating sludge by recycling such sludge have been studied.

Meanwhile, alkali metal chlorides and alkaline earth metal chlorides refer to chlorides of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Na, K, and Mg, and at least one of them should be used and clustered. The mineral particles form a colloidal solution by the purified water, and the formed colloidal solution combines with the minerals of the mineral powder to exhibit a function as a binder.

Normally, water is composed of about 35 water molecules, forming a very large cluster. When sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and chlorine gas are dissolved in water, they are not only entangled between clusters of water molecules but also entangled. As it is dissolved in water, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, carbonic acid, and hydrochloric acid are acidified, and toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum are entangled in clusters. Such a large water cluster containing gas streams or toxic metals to acidify the water not only has a harmful effect on the human body, but also causes a decrease in the binding force in the present invention, thereby preventing the effect to be obtained in the present invention.

Therefore, in the present invention, the clusters of water molecules are subdivided into 5-6 molecules through far-infrared radiation, magnetization, ultrasonication, etc. in the range of 4-14 μm to blow toxic gases entangled between the clusters of water molecules into the air. Heavy metals are precipitated using clustered water with supernatant only.

The clustered water can be prepared by a variety of known methods, it is preferable to use a stabilized by a known stabilization method, there is a problem that the binding force of the binder is lowered when using the non-clustered water in the present invention.

At least one compound selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorides and alkaline earth metal chlorides is added to the clustered water for dissolution. At this time, the amount of the at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alkali metal chlorides and alkaline earth metal chlorides is effective to use the amount of 1 to 60% by weight based on the weight of the clustered water, alkali metal chloride and alkaline earth metal When at least one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of chlorides are used in less than 1% by weight, there is a disadvantage in that the binding strength with mineral components derived from the mineral powder is lowered. Weak

In a solution in which at least one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metal chlorides are dissolved in clustered water, water containing a rare earth element with respect to the weight of the entire clustered water and a pH adjusting agent are mixed. Prepare a liquid binder.

Function. The content of the rare earth element is effective to use less than 1% by weight based on the total weight of the clustered water, and even in the water containing the rare earth element, water is used as the clustered water.

On the other hand, by using a pH adjuster in the liquid binder to be prepared to make the pH of the product produced is slightly alkaline, the amount of the pH adjuster can be appropriately adjusted according to the required pH.

The liquid binder and the mineral powder prepared as described above are mixed in amounts of 10 to 90% by weight, respectively, to prepare a binder. If the liquid binder is less than 10% by weight or the mineral powder is more than 90% by weight, there is a disadvantage that the curing time is long, and if the liquid binder is more than 90% by weight or the mineral powder is less than 10% by weight of building materials There is a problem that the molding of the furnace is not easy.

When the liquid binder and the mineral powder are mixed, the condensation and hardening occur rapidly, so it is preferable to mix immediately before use.
