Description

P452859PC00 1 New sustainable plasterboards The present invention is related to a gypsum board used in building constructions as well as a method for producing it. More specifically, it relates to a gypsum board comprising purified/processed/rinsed ash, that has improved fire resistance due to a low thermal conductivity factor. The gypsum board may be 100 percent bio-based and environmentally beneficial. Background Gypsum is a kind of hydrating material. Part or all of its water can evaporate when it is heated to the right temperature, transforming it into plaster of gypsum. When the gypsum is combined with water, it transforms into dihydrate, which is condensed and hardened gypsum. The technological foundation of the gypsum composed of two processes known as hardening and hydration. Gypsum is typically heated, dehydrated, and converted to hemihydrate before being milled into gypsum powder, which is the process of dehydration and hardness of gypsum, in order to produce gypsum gelled material. In contrast, the hydrating process of gypsum results in the creation of dihydrate gypsum (solid) when hemi-hydrate gypsum (powder) absorbs water. Ramesh C. Joshi et al, “Properties of gypsum wallboards containing fly ash”, Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, Vol.4, No.2, May 1992, appears to describe properties of gypsum wallboards containing fly ash. US4403006A appears to describe a gypsum board consisting essentially of a monolithic cellular core of set gypsum and a fiberous cover sheet, the gypsum core comprises coal fly ash in an amount of about 1-20 % by weight (abstract), preferably in an amount of 5% by weight (column 5, l.15-16). The coal fly ashes are described to comprise 1.6-28 % calcium oxide, 3.9-46 % ion oxide, 13 to about 27% aluminium oxide and 33-66% silicon oxide P452859PC00 2 (column 4, l.27-30). The purpose of adding fly ash to the gypsum board appears to be described as sag reduction. CN107032732A appears to describe a gypsum board comprising 7-9 parts of fly ash (claim 1). According to CN107032732A the plaster board of the invention has the advantages of compression strength, static bending strength, large screw holding capability and breaking resistant elasticity modulus, low heat conductivity coefficient, good antibacterial property, anti- electromagnetic radiation property and anti-friction property. Additionally it is stated that the raw material of the plasterboard are safe and reliable, environment-friendly and easily-accessible, and that the cost is low (abstract). Example 1 describes a manufacture temperature of 55 °C, example 2 describes a manufacture temperature of 65 °C, example 3 describes a manufacture temperature of 60°C. CN114380552 appears to describe a concrete wallboard comprising 200-300 parts of fly ash (claim 1). The fly ash appear to be subjected to pretreatment, which may comprise decarbonizing and desulfurization treatment. CN110903070A appears to describe a partition board comprising phosphogypsum and 16-20 parts by weight of fly ash (claim 1). EP0344430A2 appears to describe a process for producing a flue gas desulfurization gypsum plaster wherein the inert fillers may comprise fly ash (claim 1 + claim 6). Summary of the invention The present invention is related to a new product with a difference in material composition compared to other construction material. According to an embodiment, the construction material innovatively replaces a significant portion of gypsum binder with ash. This substantial shift in material P452859PC00 3 composition introduces an important variation in the environmental profile of the two products. This change may have far-reaching implications throughout the entire product life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. The composition and production parameters of the fly ash board are further optimized to achieve enhanced performance and broader application potential. By utilizing ash would decrease the longer pollute landfills. Producing plasterboards needs significant energy, however the fly ash qualities can save firing energy and conserve gypsum material, conserving natural resources. There is a need for a sustainable lightweight construction element, with a low carbon footprint, wherein said construction element is safe for humans. During manufacturing of traditional plasterboards, a very high temperature is usually required, resulting in a high carbon footprint. Traditional plasterboards comprises a high amount of gypsum. There is a need for a plasterboard comprising less gypsum and cement, and more recyclable material, and thus constitute a more sustainable construction element. There is a need for a plasterboard being safe for humans, thus being fireproof and not comprising any material harmful for human health. Further, there is a need for a construction element improving ventilations of buildings, and having good sound absorption. Incineration of waste generates fly ash containing heavy metals, chlorides and contaminated acid. Fly ash are usually deposited, resulting in contamination. There is a need for a sustainable lightweight construction element, with a low carbon footprint, wherein said construction element does not comprise heavy metals, chlorides and contaminated acid. Properties of the different structural types of calcium sulfate phases, gypsum, basanite and anhydrite are listed in table 1. P452859PC00 4 Table 1 Phase Common Formula Stability Remarks name(s) range Gypsum Selenite, CaSO4 + <60-90 oC Formed alabaster 2H2O in air spontaneously <40-60 oC upon in H2O precipitation from solution under ambient conditions Bassanite Hemihydrate α-CaSO4 + Metastable Formed by 0.5H2O in H2O heating gypsum in air at >60-90 oC; readily rehydrates to gypsum Plaster of β-CaSO4 + Metastable Formed by Paris 0.5H2O in H2O heating gypsum in water at >90 oC; readily rehydrates to gypsum Anhydrite AIII, Soluble У-CaSO4 Metastable Formed by anhydrite in H2O and heating air gypsum in air at >100-130 oC; readily rehydrates to P452859PC00 5 hemihydrate or gypsum AII, Insoluble β-CaSO4 Stable Natural anhydrite <~1200 oC anhydrite formed at the Earth’s surface AI α-CaSO4 Stable Converts >~1200 oC immediately into β-CaSO4 on cooling below ~1200 oC As seen in table 1, the temperature transforming value varies between 60 – 130 C°, depending on the desired calcium sulfate phase. The temperature input is necessary to transfer the gypsum phase into the 5 desired calcium sulfate phase, for instance, bassanite and anhydrite. The bassanite as, hemihydrate and plaster of paris are important because they have a semi-amorphous structure. Semi-amorphous structures increase the mechanical properties of the gypsum as a final product since the semi- amorphous structure works as an active binding material. 10 Fly-ash is known for their good mechanical properties, since the fly-ash exists as an semi-amorphous silicon structure, hence is an active binding material. The construction element according to the invention comprises purified fly- ash comprising silicium (Si) in an amount of about 139.000 – 140.500 mg/kg. 15 Thus, less basanite and anhydrite are required, less energy for heating is required and thus the construction element according to the invention is more environmentally friendly than traditional plaster boards.

During production water is added into the dry powder recipe mixture. The added water can vary between 20 – 45 %. As exemplary combination of the materials of the gypsum slurry is provided below: - Purified fly ash, 40 % w/w - CaSO4, 10 % w/w - Recycled Gypsum (Dihydrat), 20 % w/w - Fiber, 10 % w/w - Foaming agent, 17.5 % w/w - Water, 2.5 % w/w. The gypsum slurry may also be without CaSO4 and/or with 0.1 – 5 % w/w fiber and/or ≤1% foaming agent. The gypsum slurry is often applied on a lower-facing sheet that advances continuously, such as kraft paper. Bio-based fibers are frequently incorporated into the slurry to reinforce the gypsum core after it has dried or been set. Bio-based materials and additives are added to the slurry to strengthen the bond between the facing and the gypsum core. P452859PC00 19 The gypsum is covered with an upper face layer that advances continually. The upper and bottom facing sheets' edges are then adhered to one another, possible using suitable glue. Gypsum slurry and facing sheets are moved between parallel upper and lower forming plates or rolls to create a sandwich of unset gypsum that is integrated and continuous throughout the composite. For a few minutes, the composite is transported across a series of continuously moving belts and rollers, during which time the core starts to hydrate back to gypsum. The continuous composite is sliced into shorter lengths, or even individual boards or panels of a specific length, once the gypsum core has sufficiently hardened. The composition of the invention may comprise the following materials: Table 4 Input Ratio Purified/rinsed/processed ash 1 – 70 % Calcium sulfate phases 1 - 50 % Water 1 - 45 % Bio-based fibers (e.g. Hemp fiber) 1 - 35 % Additives and foaming agents 1 - 35 % Recycled gypsum - contains no paper 1 - 80 % The ratios of the materials can be adjusted and changed within the intervals shown in the table above. The construction element according to the invention may have a thickness of between 4 -25 mm. After slicing, the composite materials are put into drying ovens or kilns to remove any remaining water. The composites are blasted with hot drying air inside the drying ovens. Gypsum composites that have dried in ovens are taken out, their ends are clipped, and they are then cut to the necessary sizes to create final gypsum boards. The panels may be used in the building industry in the shape of sheets. P452859PC00 20 The mechanical qualities of the gypsum board are ideal and can withstand forces during production, delivery, and installation, and use flexural strength, moreover, the boards are light and fire-resistance. When the product is in dry conditions, then the water content may be between 0.5 – 2.5 % The production method described about is more energy sufficient than traditional production methods, inter alia, due to the restricted use of binder, hence less need for calcination. The construction elements described herein require less water, as ash requires less water than traditional calcined slurry mixture. Bassanite may be used as a binder. Starch may be used as an additive that improves the cohesion of the microstructure and the bond between gypsum core and cover sheets. Binders may be modified starch or anhydrite binders. Examples of modified starches being starch ethers and starch esters. Example 3 - gypsum boards As exemplary combination of the materials of an embodiment of the invention is provided below: 1.
