a b s t r a c tEnergy consumption in buildings accounts for up to 34% of total energy demand in developed countries. Thermal energy storage (TES) through phase change materials (PCM) is considered as a promising solution for this energetic problem in buildings. The material used in this paper is an own-developed shape stabilized PCM with a polymeric matrix and 12% paraffin PCM, and it includes a waste from the recycling steel process known as electrical arc furnace dust (EAFD), which provides acoustic insulation performance capability. This dense sheet material was installed and experimentally tested. Ambient temperature, humidity, and wall temperatures were measured and the thermal behaviour and acoustic properties were registered. Finally, because of the nature of the waste used, a leaching test was also carried out. The thermal profiles show that the inclusion of PCM decreases the indoor ambient temperature up to 3 C; the acoustic measurements performed in situ demonstrate that the new dense sheet material is able to acoustically insulate up to 4 dB more than the reference cubicle; and the leaching test results show that the material developed incorporating PCM and EAFD must be considered a nonhazardous material.

“…A large number of PCMs, including paraffin wax, biobased fatty acids, and polymers, have been used with different host materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), expanded graphite (EG), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), styrene butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer, SiO 2 , halloysite nanotube, and carbon Brought to you by | University of Pittsburgh Authenticated Download Date | 1/5/15 7:31 AM nanotubes (CNTs), to obtain the SSPCM with desired thermal properties specific to the application. Diatomite, electric arc furnace dust carbon molecular sieves, and activated carbon are also used as host material for preparation of SSPCM (Feng et al 2011a, Barrenechea et al 2013.…”

Research in the use of phase change materials for buildings has successfully shown that use of phase change materials results in savings and the environmentally benign use of premium energy. Research work in thermal comfort using phase change materials needs to be more compatible with other building materials. This article reviews the preparation and utilization of various organic phase change materials investigated by researchers for thermal comfort in buildings. The effect of mixing of different phase change materials and ensuing chemical processes on the melting point and latent heat was reviewed.

“…In the literature, there are some studies where the EAFD has been used for cement and concrete industry and, recently, EAFD has been http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.08.086 0306-2619/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

By the way, currently, different pyro-metallurgical processes such as Waelz Kiln, Rotary Hearth (RH) or Shaft Furnace are the mostly applied technologies for the recycling of dusty steel mill residues.…”
