Utilization of blast furnace flue dust while modifying gypsum binders with carbon nanostructures

Abstract

For improvement of physico-mechanical properties of plaster materials the industrial waste-metallurgical dust formed by manufacture of steel, was used. Modification of gypsum binder by adding metallurgical dust in quantity 0.5% from the weight the binder caused the significant change in microstructure of the gypsum stone, this led to an increase in compressive strength by 80% and to increase of softening coefficient up to 0.85. Such parameters are provided due to formation of crystals of the gypsum protected by an environment of amorphous structure, less soluble, than the not protected crystals of gypsum, preventing destruction crystals of gypsum and water limiting access to crystals of gypsum matrix. For achievement synergetic effect with metallurgical dust dispersions multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added. MWCNTs act as the centers of crystallization on which surface is going the formation of the ordered dense structure to block packing crystals. The presence in metallurgical dust calcium hydroxide leads to formation of amorphous phase on surface of crystals of gypsum. The developed plaster composition modified by the combined additive according to its properties is similar to waterproof materials. Recycling of metallurgical dust using it as the additive modifying gypsum binder, will improve the ecological conditions in area of an arrangement of the steel production metallurgical complexes.

Effect of Pineapple Leaf Fiber on the Physico-mechanical Properties of Gypsum Board

“…In order to broaden the range of gypsum's uses, new varieties of gypsum-based materials have lately been studied. In the literature, fillers such as blast furnace slag (BFS) [21], nanotubes [21], iron oxide [22], calcium carbonate [23], silica gel [24], and silica and fume [24] have been employed in gypsumbased composites. [25] looked at the impact of polypropylene fibres and waste polyurethane foam had on the gypsum matrix.…”

Cost optimization of Colored Gypsum Composites

“…To prevent the solution of gypsum in water, gypsum can be reinforced with a water impermeable material (Camarini & De Milito, 2011). The various studies focused on the addition of rice husk, silica fume, iron oxide, blast furnace slag and blast furnace dust to improve water resistant properties of gypsum composites (Khalil, Tawfik, Hegazy, & El-Shahat, 2014;Mazloom, Ramezanianpour, & Brooks, 2004;Yakovlev, Khozin, Polyanskikh, & Keriene, 2014;Yakovlev, Polyanskikh, Fedorova, Gordina, & Buryanov, 2015).…”

Filler de grafito reciclado de EDM en pastas de yeso = EDM recycled graphite filler in gypsum pastes

“…Algunas de ellas son reductoras de agua que inciden en el aumento de su resistencia (Gao & Shao, 2012). Solamente las adiciones del polvo de las chimeneas de los hornos altos y los nanotubos presentan una mejora en la resistencia a compresión de las pastas de yeso (Yakovlev et al, 2014).…”
