4.Cement material presently not in a position to cope the millions of the country
Concrete made with Portland cement,water admixtures and aggregates comprises in quantity
the largest of all man made material Historically whenever new compounds were produced,or
waste materials accumulated in industries,they were incorporated as one of ingredients of
concrete. Typical examples are fly ash phosphogypsum,blast furnace slag, saw mil waste, rice
husk, cotton etc.The wide spread need for conserving resources & environment will be
reflected major emphasis on the use of wastes & by products. Recycling of concrete materials
also offers some promise. Attempts are already being made to use municipal refuse & waste oil
as partial substitutes for the fuel in the production of cement clinker
ROLE OF WASTE MATERIAL IN CEMENT
CLINKER PRODUCTION
1.Many waste materials contain basic ingredients that are needed for the manufacturing of
cement clinker
2.Fly ash can also be used as a source of raw material Lime sludge can be used as a
substitutes for lime stone
3.Red mud a waste material from the production of alumina used as a raw material for cement
clinker production
2.Fly ash can be incorporated into Portland cement in one of the three ways.
6.At longer periods of curing Fly ash concrete develops higher strengths than the normal
concrete
ADVANTAGES OF FLY ASH CONCRETE
1.Addition of fly ash to concrete minimize or eliminates the expansion due to alkali aggregate
reaction
2.WORKABILITY
3.TIME OF SETTING
DURABILITY OF FLY ASH CONCRETE
1.Sufficiently cured fly ash concrete has dense structure & hence more resistance to deleterious substances.
3.Class F fly ash reduces alkali-silica reactivity because of the dense structure & hence expansion is reduced
which increases durability.
RICE HUSK ASH CEMENT In the rice milling operation one ton of rice paddy produces 400 kg
of husk. Burning of the husk results in 20% by a weight of ash. Blending this ash with cement
produces a suitable blended cement
Advantage
The rice husk ash cement on hydration produces practically no Ca(OH) 2 &hence is superior to
Portland.
RECYCLING OF CONCRETE
Except structures which have to be preserved as moments a great number of them have to be
demolished sooner or later. Concrete accounts of nearly 75% by weight of all construction
material. Millions of tons of concrete debris are generated by natural disaster. Depletion of
normal aggregate sources, stricter environmental laws & waste disposal problems make
recycling of concrete.
Smaller pieces of concrete are used as gravel for new construction projects. Sub base gravels
laid down as the lowest layer in a road. Recycled concrete can also be used as the dry
aggregate for brand new concrete. Larger pieces can be used for erosion control.
DISADVANTAGES
Lead paint contamination.
APPLICATION OF MISCELLANEOUS WASTES
COLLIERY SOIL: In coal operations about one half of the material is separated & discarded as colliery soil.
This soil is used to fill in road embankments. IIt can also be used to produce light weight concrete.
WASTE GLASS: Millions of tons of waste glass are generated annually.The strength of concrete less than
with gravel aggregate. This is used to make light weight aggregates.
RED MUD: Red mud is a waste product resulting from the extraction of alumina from bauxite ore. It is
sufficiently plastic to be moulded into balls. Firing at about 1260 to 1310 c produces a strong dense aggregate.
BURNT CLAY: High permeability. Concrete contains burnt clay has high fire resisting capacity.
SAW DUST: Saw dust concrete is used only to a limited extent because of its low strengths. The addition of
sand can improve strength. Saw dust cement has a good insulation value. Low thermal conductivity. Concrete
containing large amounts of saw dust is flammable.
CONCLUSION
In the coming future Recycling of Waste Materials & by production for concrete technology will
achieve new heights, as attempts are already being made to use municipal refuse & waste oil
as partial substitutes for production of cement clinker. We have to promote & development in
the area of utilization of waste materials. Variability of the physical & chemical characteristics &
availability at locations far removed from populations areas may inhibit the wide spread use of
many types of wastes. Future work will have to be directed to study of the long term durability
of concretes containing these materials
