Results of polypropylene removal in injected metallic parts by using plasma technology are presented. The samples were injected with 55.18% Vol. of unalloyed iron powder, 23.57% Vol. of paraffin and 21.25% Vol. of polypropylene. The paraffin was previously removed in hexane bath, followed by a treatment in abnormal glow discharge of argon and hydrogen for the removal of the polypropylene. The electric discharge was generated in two configurations: a confined anode-cathode with the samples placed on the anode and a confined grid (anode)-cathode system with the sample placed on a holder at floating potential inside the grid. In the first geometry, electrons bombarded the sample surface, while in the second, they are collected by the grid. The samples were characterized by mass loss measurements and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the hydrogen discharge was more efficient for both configurations, which is attributed to the high reactivity of hydrogen atoms produced in the discharge. In addition, when plasma debinding was performed at 400 ºC for 10 min, by using the confined anode-cathode configuration, the polypropylene removal was total, while in the confined grid (anode)-cathode geometry the removal was approximately 32%. The higher polypropylene removing observed in the anode-cathode configuration is attributed to electron bombardment of the surface of the sample
RESUMO O incremento de atividades na construção civil observado nos anos recentemente transcorridos, justifica e impulsiona estudos de novas técnicas que tem como objetivo aprimorar práticas obsoletas, que reprimem a liberdade de criatividade dos projetistas e vão contra o necessário e difundido pensamento sustentável. Nesse sentido, estudou-se características físicas do Bloco de Concreto Celular Espumoso (BCCE) quando se substitui Cimento Portland pelo resíduo industrial Cinza Volante. Desde a extração dos minerais necessários para a produção do Cimento Portland, a calcinação dos mesmos, processo de moagem e de transporte, resultam em elevados índices de emissão de dióxido de carbono, principal gás causador do efeito estufa. Sabe-se que vários setores da indústria brasileira são referência no que tange a pegada ecológica, apresentando índices de emissão de CO2 25% menores em relação à média mundial. Uma boa explicação para esse dado positivo se dá na utilização das adições como escória de alto forno, cinza volante e cinza de casca de arroz, resíduos que apresentam características físicas e químicas que possibilitam o uso em larga escala na fabricação de derivados de cimento, além de ser possível oferecer uma destinação adequada a esses materiais. Dentre os métodos de produção de blocos de concreto celular espumoso, testou-se o qual é inserida a espuma já preparada junto à argamassa. Utilizou-se dispositivo gerador de espuma produzido por Lencina, confeccionando blocos referência, sem a substituição de Cimento Portland por cinza volante e blocos com teores de 10%, 15% e 20 % de cinza volante, substituindo o cimento Portland. Analisando os resultados finais, observou-se um incremento da resistência conforme se aumentava o teor de cinza volante. No que tange a densidade, os BCCE ficaram de acordo com o que apresenta a NBR12644 (ABNT, 1992). Palavras-chave: Cinza Volante. Concreto Espumoso. Cimento Portland. ABSTRACT The activity increase in construction observed in recent years have elapsed justifies and promotes studies of new techniques that aims to improve outdated practices that repress freedom of creativity of designers and go against the necessary and widespread sustainable thinking. In this sense, were studied physical characteristics of the foamed cellular lightweight concrete block (CLC) when replacing Portland cement by the fly ash. Since the extraction of minerals required for the production of Portland cement, calcining the same, and transport the milling process results in high carbon dioxide emission rates, main cause of the greenhouse gas. Brazilian industry is known that is a reference in terms of carbon footprint, with rates of CO2 emissions 25% lower compared to the world average. A good explanation for this positive value is the use of additions like blast furnace slag, fly ash and rice husk ash, residues that have physical and chemical characteristics that enable large-scale use in the manufacture of cementitious products, as well it is possible to provide an adequate allocation to these materi...
