Blast Furnace Sludge

The blast furnace sludge is a waste generated after the washing step of the blast furnace gas. The reuse of this waste in the steelmaking process itself is quite problematic. This study aims to analyze the possibility of the incorporation of a type of blast furnace sludge, benefited by a process that uses helical separators, into red ceramic. Specimens were prepared by uniaxial pressing at 20 MPa and then fired at 750°C and 950°C. The evaluated technological properties were linear shrinkage, water absorption and flexural rupture strength. The results showed that the benefited blast furnace sludge significantly influences the evaluated properties, by impairing the linear shrinkage and the water absorption but improving the mechanical strength.

A ceramic body traditionally used to produce bricks and roofing tiles was reformulated by the addition of sand and illitic clay. The objective was to obtain a ceramic product with better technological properties. Specimens were made by uniaxial press-molding at 20 MPa and then fired at temperatures varying from 850 to 1100°C. The determined technological properties were: linear shrinkage, water absorption and flexural rupture strength. The results showed that both sand and illitic clay contribute to reduce the water absorption of the industrial clayey body. With respect to the flexural behavior, it was observed that the incorporation of sand decreased the mechanical strength. On the other hand, the illitic, incorporated in an amounts of 30 wt.% contributed to increase the mechanical strength of the clayey ceramic.

This study focuses on the identification of an appropriate composition of raw materials for ceramic products from commonly available red clays in Sri Lanka. The raw materials were characterized in terms of particle size distribution, chemical and mineralogical composition. Different formulations of samples were prepared, and the linear shrinkage, water absorption and flexural strength of the final products were measured. Microstructures of fired samples were observed under a scanning electron microscope. The best quality product was obtained when the sample contains a high amount of illite clay in a mixture of 80 wt.% clay-silt and 20 wt.% sand. The presence of higher concentrations of the metal oxides Na2O, K2O and Fe2O3 (total ~21 wt.%) in the clay-silt fraction of samples has resulted in obtaining higher technological properties of the body. The flexural strength and the water absorption of the product are 26.82 MPa and 6.51% respectively. If the raw materials contain lower amounts of the oxides Na2O, K2O and Fe2O3, higher amounts of clay-silt fraction (up to 90 wt.%) must be added to obtain an optimum quality product.

The microstructural and technological properties of clay ceramic incorporated with 10 and 20 wt% of elephant grass ashes were investigated at different firing temperatures of 650, 850 and 1050oC. X-ray diffraction were used to obtain the minerals and phase compositions. The microstructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The technical properties related to water absorption, linear shrinkage and flexural rupture strength were obtained by standard test. The results showed significant changes in the microstructure and phasic composition with increasing firing temperature. A marked improvement in the water absorption, decreasing to 18% as well as increase in strength, above 5 MPa, was found at 1050°C. However, only a slight contribution might be attributed to the incorporation of elephant grass ash. Nevertheless, its use as a by-product and the associated saving in clay are relevant environmental and economical advantages.

The incorporation of industrial wastes into clayey ceramics used in civil construction is becoming a worldwide procedure not only to provide an environmentally correct destination for the waste but, in some cases, to improve the ceramic properties. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of a glass powder waste from decontamination process of fluorescent lamps into clayey ceramics. This evaluation was performed based on the technological properties of water absorption, linear shrinkage ad flexural strength. The properties evaluation was complemented by optical microscopy structural observation. The glass waste was incorporated in up to 30 wt% and specimens were uniaxially pressed at 20 MPa and fired at a relatively higher temperature of 1000°C. The results confirmed a substantial improvement of both the water absorption and the strength with glass waste incorporation into clayey ceramics.

Percentage Of Water Absorption

Effects of rice husk ash and fly ash on properties of red clay collected from Naogaon district of Bangladesh were investigated. Different percentages of rice husk ash (RHA) and fly ash (5%, 10% and 15%) were thoroughly mixed with clay to analyse various physical and chemical properties of clay followed by heat treatment of 8000C to 11000C. The samples were tested for compressive strength, linear shrinkage, water absorption, porosity and bulk density. XRD analysis indicates the clay sample was mainly illite type. Water absorption and porosity increased with increasing percentage of ashes. The percentage of water absorption was within 6 to 10% for different mixture which may be suitable for ceramic and tiles purposes. Both fly ash and RHA of 15% could be used to improve some properties of clay. The optimum firing temperature for all the samples was 10500C. XRD pattern of clay with fly ash and rice husk ash heated at 10500C confirms the presence of feldspar and quartz as major phase and hematite (Fe2O3) and cristobalite phase as minor phase. This red clay deposits reinforced with different appropriate quantities of rice husk ash and fly ash could be used for various low temperature applications in industry and construction purposes. © 2014 JSR Publications.

This work has as its objective to evaluate the effect in the physical and mechanical properties of a red ceramic by the incorporation of petroleum coke from a refining plant. The characterization of the coke was done by optical microscopy and DTA/TG. Compositions were prepared with 0, 1, 2 and 4 wt.% of petroleum coke incorporated into a kaolinitic clayey body. Rectangular specimens were formed by extrusion before firing at 950°C. The determined physical and mechanical properties were: flexural rupture strength and water absorption. The microstructure of the fired ceramics was evaluated by SEM. The results showed that the incorporation of up to 4 wt.% of petroleum coke is not deleterious to the water absorption and mechanical strength of the clayey ceramic fired at 950oC.

The addition of industrial residues into common red clay ceramic has been, from many decades, an alternative of using other low cost raw materials and, more recently, as an environmentally correct destination for polluting substances. An important residue, known as yellow sludge, is that generated at the water clearing stage (WCS) of a treatment plant by some heavy industries such as an integrated steel making. Since this yellow sludge residue is normally disposed in ways that pollutes water bodies, the objective of the present work was to characterize a WCS yellow sludge and investigate its addition into clay ceramics. The residue was characterized by X-ray fluorescence, particle size distribution and scanning electron microscopy. The addition was carried out up to 7.5 wt% followed by firing at 800oC. The added ceramics were evaluated in terms of water absorption, linear shrinkage, dry apparent density and flexural rupture strength. It was found that the residue addition does not practically alter the ceramic technical properties.

The blast furnace is one the main systems used in steelmaking plants operating with iron ores. In addition to the production of pig iron and slag, the blast furnace operation also generates a considerable amount of wastes such as dust usually collected in the upwards flowing gas. The dust collecting stage, without separation procedures, produces a sludge, which cannot be recycled inside the plant due to the concentration of undesirable earth alkaline metals as well as zinc. A possible solution for this so-called global blast furnace sludge (GFS) is its incorporation, outside the plant, into clayey ceramic products processed at high temperatures. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to investigate the effect of GFS incorporation, in amounts of 5 and 10 wt%, into kaolinitic clay ceramics fired at 750, 950 and 1050oC. Initially, the GFS was characterized and, after processing, incorporated into ceramics that were then tested for the water absorption, linear shrinkage and flexural strength. It was found significant improvements in the properties for GFS incorporated ceramics fired at 1050oC.
