The given article is devoted to research of influence of polymer modifiers and mineral additives on quality of composite aerated concrete products. When selecting the composition of composite aerated concrete local raw materials and components were used: portland cement, sand, aluminum powder, polyvinyl acetate, fly ash, post-alcoholic bard and whey of milk. Preliminary polyvinyl acetate was combined with binder mixing water at a temperature above 55ºC to obtain a readily soluble polymer emulsion. Dispersion was carried out with a rotary-pulsation apparatus at a pressure of 0.5-1.0 MPa and a rotor speed of ~1200 rpm. In the same apparatus the complex modifier was produced. The offered technology of production of a complex modifier seems to be the most effective for composite aerated concrete. It made it possible to reduce water absorption and capillary suction of composite aerated concrete by an average of 25% and 45%, respectively. Moreover, different combinations of fly ash, polymer and modifier made it possible to achieve optimal values of thermal conductivity, compressive strength and frost resistance of composite aerated concrete.

This paper presents the results of studies of isolation lignin and hemicelluloses efficiency during the pre-treatment of wheat straw for hydrolysis in a rotary-pulsation apparatus. The pre-treatment of lignocellulosic raw materials for hydrolysis is a necessary step in the second-generation bioethanol production technology. The lignocellulose complex is destroyed during this process, and this allows hydrolytic enzymes access to the surface of cellulose fibers. The pre-treatment is the most energy-consuming stage in bioethanol production technology, since it usually occurs at high temperature and pressure for a significant time. One of the ways to improve the efficiency of this process is the use of energy-efficient equipment that allows intensifying heat and mass transfer. An example of such equipment is a rotary-pulsation apparatus, which are effective devices in stirring, homogenization, dispersion technologies, etc. The treatment of wheat straw in a rotary-pulsation apparatus was carried out under atmospheric pressure without external heat supply at solid/water ratios of 1:10 and 1:5 in the presence of alkali. It was determined that the treatment of the water dispersion of straw at ratio of 1:10 due to the energy dissipation during 70 minutes leads to the release of 42 % of lignin and 25.76 % of easily hydrolyzed polysaccharides. Changing the solid / water ratio from 1:10 to 1:5 leads to an increase in the yield of lignin and easily hydrolyzed polysaccharides to 58 and 33.38 %, respectively.

Burning high-quality anthracite coal produces ash with a high content of unburned residues, which in many cases permanently exceeds 20%. These ashes usually contain high levels of amorphous phase providing the pozzolanic activity, this making them particularly useful if potentially applied in the construction industry. Such potential of effective treatment necessitates reducing the content of unburned residues, the best level here being less than 4% w/w. This paper deals with the results of testing heat treatment of fly ashes particularly using the resources of eastern Slovakia. Tests have shown that tested process of heat treatment can safely reduce the content of unburned residues in fly ash whilst maintaining high levels of the glass phase. Raw materials thus modified meet the requirements for the use in cellular concrete production technology with beneficial use of exothermic reaction heat from fly ash treatment in pre-heating the autoclaves.

The quality of the aerated concrete strongly depends on the chemical composition of the raw materials, as well as the process of the hydrothermal reaction during autoclaving. Due to the variable chemical composition of fly ashes, it is necessary to identify the effect of each ion on the formation of the microstructure of aerated concrete. This paper examines the process of formation of tobermorite with the addition of sulphates in various percentage representation. The microstructure of aerated concrete is assessed using SEM images and the mineralogical by means of X-ray analysis.


China's industries are rapidly growing, and with that generation of waste is also increasing. Associated environmental concerns over construction and demolition waste, industrial waste such as fly ash generated by thermal power plants need to be utilized in some form. Autoclave aerated concrete is a lightweight material that can be used as an alternative building material; it is widely composed of raw materials such as cement, quicklime, sand, gypsum, and an aerating agent like aluminum powder. In this study, 40% waste will be utilized, Construction waste (5%,10%,15%....40%) and Fly ash (35%,30%,25….0%)respectively, keeping the aerating agent constant at 0.06% that is aluminum powder. The compressive strength of the material will be checked after autoclaving at 2000 temperature and 1Mpa Pressure for 6 hours. The study aims to design an autoclave aerated concrete material and to recycle the waste generated by various industries mainly from the construction sector.

Autoclaved aerated concrete is an ecological building material with suitable properties and long-time tradition. The research of secondary raw materials usage and technology optimization is needed in order to increase the efficiency and sustainability of its production. It is important to focus on development of mineralogical composition while studying the influence of input materials and the parameters of hydrothermal synthesis on the properties of final product. This is especially important in case of tobermorite formation as the bearer of strength in the structure. Main focus of this paper is applicability of fly ash (silica component) and admixture of energo-gypsum (sulfate component) in production of lime-ash composite in hydrothermal conditions. The research was focused on autoclaving of samples at temperature of 170°C in three various isothermal sustains. Final samples were analyzed by XRD and SEM in order to proof the influence of input materials. Results show that 5% admixture of energo-gypsum had positive influence on tobermorite formation.

Tobermorite is the main mineral which provides to aerated concrete mechanical properties. It is produces during hydrothermal conditions by reacting silicon and calcium oxides. Within this research was evaluated tobermorite formation using high temperature combustion fly ash and quartz sand, as the siliceous raw materials. As a binder was used lime. Emphasis was also placed on the molar ratio of C/S, which is crucial for the formation of tobermorite and was given 0.73 and 1.00. Hydrothermal synthesis was carried out in a laboratory autoclave at temperatures of 170 and 190 °C.

Results over of research of the silicate systems of carbonate raw material with the varieties of clay component for making of cement clinker. The features of the chemical-mineralogical composition, phase transformations during burning and astringent properties of clinker are shown when unenriched kaolin and fly ash are used as alumina-silica-containing components of the initial raw material mixture. In the chemical technology of hydraulic mineral astringents, clay raw material serves, first of all, as a source of SiO , Al O , Fe O oxides, which must form from CaO during the baking of crystalline phases of silicates, aluminates and calcium aluminferrite, with the development of which impart the properties of the product of production. In turn, the above oxides arise in the process of technology during the heat treatment of raw mixtures due to the destruction of the lattice of rock-forming minerals. Hence the obvious dependence of the number and reactivity of oxides on the chemical and mineralogical composition of clay raw material, which, according to essential differences, is classified into a number of groups. Deepening of scientific ideas about this dependence can become an additional factor for im- proving the intensification of the technology of silicate binders, which became the subject of research in the given work. The chemical and mineralogical composition of the clay component of raw materials for the production of clinker and cement based on it is an important factor in the structure of the binder material at the stages of the technological process and the determination of the properties of the final product. Taking into account the peculiarities of the composition of unbleached kaolin (high content of kaolinite, quartz, feldspar), the feasibility of its application in the production of cement for clinker production is related to the possibility of adjusting the kinetics and the direction of phase transformations during the burning of the material. From the point of view of resource conservation and technology, the complex application of aluminum and silicon-containing raw materials components of natural (unaffected kaolin) and man-made (fly ash) origin is shown. Deepening of scientific ideas about this dependence can become an additional factor for improving the intensification of the technology of silicate binders, which became the subject of research in the given work.

Background: The deposits of iron tailing will pose a great risk of environmental pollution and serious landscape impact which will affect the quality of life of humans. Therefore, it is urgent to utilize iron tailing to produce valuable products. Methods: The tailing ceramsites were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The roles of the tailing content, sintering temperature and duration time in the performance of the tailing ceramsites were analysed and the optimal sintering parameters were determined. Results: The bulk density, apparent density and cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites increase considerably with the increase of the sintering temperature and duration time. The cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites increases with increasing the tailing content. The optimal sintering parameter is 1100°C for 40 min. The cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites obtained at 1100°C for 40 min reaches 10.1 MPa. XRD analysis shows that the tailing ceramsites mainly consist of CaSiO3, Al2SiO5, MgSiO3, Ca7Si2P2O16, CaAl2Si2O8, Ca2Fe2O5 and SiO2 phases when the sintering temperature and duration time were increased to 1100°C and 40 min, respectively. Conclusion: The tailing ceramsites were obtained from iron tailing, sludge and fly ash as the raw materials at 1100°C for 40 min. The obtained ceramsites exhibited high mechanical performance.

The fly ash aerated concrete is a modern material combining high use value with environmental aspects of its production. It is mainly an utilisation of secondary raw materials with related minimum consumption of natural resources. The resulting properties the aerated concrete product obtains by autoclaving during which a complete line of calcium hydro silicates are formed due to occurring hydrothermal reaction and tobermorite mineral is the most important one. This mineral has a significant influence principally on aerated concrete strength. This article thus verifies the autoclaving time influence on tobermoritic phase developments and to this related compressive strength of the fly ash aerated concrete.
