Estudo de fibra alternativa de escória de alto-forno como reforço em matrizes cimentícias / Study of alternative blast furnace slag fiber as reinforcement in cementitious matrices

Bassi, Mara da Rocha January 2010 (has links)
Resíduos gerados em diversas indústrias têm sido aproveitados na produção de materiais buscando reduzir o impacto ambiental. No campo das fibras, materiais alternativos vem sendo produzidos em maior quantidade e ganhando destaque na fabricação de compósitos mais adequados ambientalmente. Entre estes produtos está a fibra de escória de alto-forno, microfibra cuja matéria-prima é originária da produção do ferro-gusa, que apresenta vantagens em seu processo produtivo citando-se custo reduzido e ganho ambiental ao proporcionar a ampliação da aplicabilidade de um subproduto gerado em elevada quantidade, tem despertado o interesse no seu uso como reforço de matrizes cimentícias. Neste sentido, a presente pesquisa visa avaliar se, além do beneficio ambiental proporcionado pela utilização da fibra de escória em substituição a outras fibras convencionais, a aplicação deste produto pode proporcionar também benefícios técnicos ao incrementar o desempenho de matrizes cimentícias. Para tanto o programa experimental foi dividido em quatro etapas, sendo a etapa inicial de caracterização dos materiais empregados e da fibra de escória por meio de ensaios de Fluorescência de Raios X, Difração de Raios X e Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV). A segunda etapa foi proposta buscando avaliar a afinidade existente entre fibra e matriz cimentícia através do ensaio de Le Chatelier. Destinou-se a terceira parte do programa experimental ao preparo dos corpos-de-prova utilizados nos ensaios e a última para avaliação dos compósitos com relação à: Trabalhabilidade; Resistência à Tração na Flexão; Resistência à Compressão; Módulo de Elasticidade Dinâmico; Retração Restringida e Resistência ao Impacto. Os resultados não confirmaram a hipótese levantada, indicando que o desempenho da adição da fibra de escória em matrizes cimentícias foi insatisfatório, sendo constatada falha na distribuição da fibra através da produção de compósitos heterogêneos, com presença de aglomeração da fibra e incorporação de ar. Mesmo com o problema na dispersão da fibra, considerou-se com potencial promissor o resultado obtido no ensaio de retração restringida, onde foi possível verificar a atuação da microfibra de escória na distribuição das tensões permitindo o retardamento da fissuração nos anéis de argamassa reforçada. Estudos adicionais buscando melhorar a dispersão da fibra também não obtiveram bons resultados. Acredita-se que para fins de reforço em matrizes cimentícias a presença de resina adicionada à fibra de escória no seu processo de fabricação compromete a dispersão do material e, consequentemente, seu uso neste tipo de reforço. / Waste generated in various industries have been utilized in the production of materials seeking to reduce the environmental impact. In the field of fibers, alternative materials have been produced in greater quantity and gaining prominence in the manufacture of composites more environmentally appropriate. Among these products is of blast furnace slag fiber, microfiber whose raw material is sourced from the production of pig iron, which has advantages in its production process by citing the cost savings and environmental gains by providing expansion of the applicability of a byproduct generated in large amounts, has stimulated interest in its use as reinforcement in cementitious matrices. In this sense, this research aims to assess whether, in addition to environmental benefits provided by the use of slag fiber as a substitute for other conventional fibers, application of this product may also offer technical benefits to increase the performance of cementitious matrices. For both the experimental program was divided into four phases, the initial step of characterization of materials used and the slag fiber by tests of X-ray Fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The second step was proposed by assessing the affinity between fiber and cement matrix by testing of Le Chatelier. Allocated to third part of the experimental program to prepare the bodies of the test piece used in the tests and the final assessment for the composites with respect to: Workability; Tensile strength in bending, compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity; Restrained and Retraction Impact Resistance. The results did not confirm the hypothesis, indicating that the performance of slag addition of fiber in cementitious matrices was unsatisfactory, and found fault in the distribution of fiber through the production of composite heterogeneous with the presence of fiber clustering and incorporation of air. Even with the problem in dispersion of fiber, it was considered a promising potential with test result of restrained shrinkage, where it was possible to verify the performance of micro stress distribution in the slag allowing delayed cracking in mortar reinforced rings. Additional studies seeking to improve the dispersion of the fiber also did not obtain good results. It is believed that for purposes of reinforcement in cementitious matrices the presence of resin added to the slag fiber in its manufacturing process compromises the dispersal of the material and hence its use in this type of reinforcement.

Fábio Aurélio Bonk 16 November 2001 (has links)
O silicato de cálcio hidratado (C-S-H) é o componente responsável pela resistência mecânica dos cimentos usados na construção civil. Neste trabalho foi caracterizada a evolução da reação de hidratação e as propriedades estruturais das fases resultantes da hidratação da escória de alto forno granulada (EAF). Este tipo de cimento é um potencial candidato para substituir os materiais convencionais, apresentando vantagens relativas ao menor custo energético de produção e a redução do impacto ambiental. Devido à menor reatividade da EAF com água, é necessário a adição de substâncias ativadoras alcalinas de modo geral em baixa concentração. Neste trabalho foi caracterizado o efeito sobre a sua reatividade e as propriedades estruturais dos produtos da reação (C-S-H e aluminatos de cálcio hidratados) de quatro tipos de misturas ativadoras contendo hidróxido de sódio, silicato de sódio e/ou hidróxido de cálcio (CH). As quantidades alcalinas resultantes das misturas usadas nas pastas foram: 5%Na2O, 5% Na2O-2,5%CH, 5% Na2O -7,5%SiO2 e 5% Na2O -2,5%CH- 7,5% SiO2. A técnica experimental utilizada foi a Ressonância Magnética Nuclear (RMN) de alta resolução no estado sólido de 29Si, 27Al e 23Na. Os resultados indicaram diferenças na cinética da reação no estágio tardio (tempos na faixa de 3 dias até 120 dias), na quantidade e nas características estruturais das fases aluminatos de cálcio e do C-S-H, dependentes da presença de SiO2 na mistura ativadora. A inclusão de Ca(OH)2 tem efeitos de magnitude consideravelmente menor sobre estes parâmetros. Foi observada uma correspondência excelente entre as diferenças estruturais observadas por RMN e o comportamento da resistência mecânica do material. / Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) is the component responsible for mechanical resistance of cementitious materials. In this work, a characterization of the evolution of the hydration reaction in granulated blast-furnace slag (bfs) is presented. Also, the structural properties of the reaction products is studied as a function of time, during the late period of the process. This kind of cement is a potential material to replace the conventional Portland in several applications, having several relative advantages regarding to energetic cost and impact on the environment. To overcome the less hydraulic reactivity of gbs respect to Portland, it is generally necessary the addition of small amount of alkaline compounds, called activators, to improve the speed and extension of the reaction. The behavior of four different activator mixtures containing sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and/or calcium hydroxide (CH) were considered, at fixed amount alkali 5% Na2O, 5% Na2O -2,5% Ca(OH)2, 5% Na2O -7,5% SiO2 and Na2O -2,5% Ca(OH)2- 7,5% SiO2. The hydration kinetics and structural properties of the hydration products, C-S-H and calcium aluminate hydrates, were probed by means of solid-state high resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of 29Si, 27Al and 23Na nuclei. Results showed differences in hydration evolution and structural properties depending strongly on the presence of SiO2 in the mixture. On the other hand, Ca(OH)2 produced only marginal effects on the reaction. An excellent correlation was observed between the structural differences and the mechanical response of the material as a function of the hydration time.

Estudos de misturas de carvões e biomassa visando a combustão em alto-forno

Barbieri, Cláudia Caroline Teixeira January 2013 (has links)
A tecnologia de injeção de carvão pulverizado nas ventaneiras dos altos-fornos (PCI) é utilizada por siderúrgicas integradas no mundo inteiro visando a redução do consumo de coque e, consequentemente, a redução das emissões de CO2 e do custo do gusa. Como o Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de ferro- gusa em altos-fornos a carvão vegetal, torna-se grande o interesse pelo aproveitamento dos finos de biomassa gerados no processamento de carvão vegetal, a chamada moinha. Uma boa alternativa para aproveitamento dessa biomassa seria sua injeção em altos-fornos a coque. A alta combustibilidade é essencial para um carvão destinado à injeção, pois reduz a formação de char (carvão incombusto). Devido à dificuldade de queima completa na zona de combustão, o carvão a ser injetado deve gerar um char altamente reativo ao CO2, para que seja consumido na cuba do alto-forno, gerando gases termorredutores. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a combustibilidade e a reatividade ao CO2 de carvões e misturas binárias de finos de carvão vegetal com carvões fósseis visando PCI. O estudo se deu através de análise termogravimétrica (TGA). Foram utilizados três carvões fósseis de diferentes procedências e ranks para a formulação das misturas. Os carvões foram cominuídos abaixo de 90 μm, uma granulometria típica de injeção. Inicialmente fez-se uma avaliação da combustibilidade e da reatividade ao CO2 dos finos de carvão vegetal com o intuito de estabelecer a granulometria adequada para as misturas. Foi observado que basta o carvão vegetal estar em granulometria inferior a 1 mm para serem alcançados resultados superiores de combustibilidade e reatividade em relação aos carvões fósseis abaixo de 90 μm. A elaboração das misturas binárias foi feita, portanto, pela adição de carvão vegetal abaixo de 1 mm aos carvões fósseis abaixo de 90 μm. A elaboração das misturas binárias foi feita, portanto, pela adição de carvão vegetal abaixo de 1 mm aos carvões fósseis abaixo de 90 μm. As proporções testadas foram 10, 20 e 50% em massa de carvão vegetal. As misturas apresentaram um aumento de combustibilidade e de reatividade ao CO2 em relação aos carvões fósseis individuais. Além disso, considerando-se a composição química dos carvões em estudo em termos de teor de cinzas, matéria volátil, enxofre e poder calorífico, pode-se considerar que misturas binárias entre os carvões fósseis deste trabalho e moinha de carvão vegetal seriam satisfatórias para PCI nas proporções avaliadas. / The technology of pulverized coal injection into the blast furnace tuyeres (PCI) is used by integrated steel mills worldwide in order to reduce the consumption of coke and thereby the reduction CO2 emissions and the cost of pig iron. As Brazil is the world’s largest producer of pig iron in charcoal-based blast furnaces, it becomes great interest in the use of fine biomass generated during charcoal processing. A good alternative for harnessing this biomass would be the injection into coke-based blast furnaces. The high combustibility is essential for a coal to injection. Moreover, the char (unburnt coal) generated should be highly reactive to CO2, so that it is possible its consumption in the stack of the blast furnace, generating gas for iron ore reduction. This work aimed to evaluate the combustibility and reactivity to CO2 of binary blends of charcoal fines and coals with purpose to PCI. The study was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Three coals from different sources and ranks were used to the formulation of the blends. The coals were ground and sieved to a size less than 90 μm diameter. At first were done an assessment of combustibility and reactivity to CO2 of fines charcoal in order to set the suitable particle size to the blends. It was observed that charcoal less than 1 mm is enough to achieve superior results to those found in the coals below 90 μm. The proportions tested were 10, 20 e 50% by mass of charcoal. The blends showed an increase in combustibility and reactivity of its chars in relation to individual coals. Furthermore, considering the chemical of coals under study in terms of ash, volatile matter, sulfur and calorific value it can be considered that binary blends between the coals and charcoal of this work would be satisfactory to PCI in the proportions evaluated.

Estudo da retração em argamassa com cimento de escória ativada. / Shrinkage of alkali-activated slag.

Antonio Acácio de Melo Neto 19 November 2002 (has links)
O uso de escória de alto forno como aglomerante alternativo ao cimento portland tem sido objeto de vários estudos no Brasil e no exterior. Além de representar vantagens ao meio ambiente por ser um resíduo, a escória apresenta boas possibilidades de emprego, principalmente pelo baixo custo e por suas vantagens técnicas das quais se destacam a elevada resistência mecânica, a boa durabilidade em meios agressivos, o baixo calor de hidratação. No entanto, o emprego deste material carece de estudos detalhados da retração, muito superior à do cimento portland. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a cinética das retrações autógena e por secagem não restringidas do cimento de escória ativada em função, principalmente, do tipo e teor de ativadores empregados. Para a retração autógena, o corpo-de-prova foi selado com papel alumínio protegido internamente com plástico. As medidas estenderam-se de 6 horas até 112 dias. O fenômeno da retração também foi analisado com base nos resultados dos ensaios de porosimetria, calorimetria, termogravimetria e difração de raios X. Foram empregados como ativadores: silicato de sódio, cal hidratada + gipsita, cal hidratada e hidróxido de sódio. Como referência foi adotado o cimento portland da alta resistência inicial CPV-ARI. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, a ativação da escória com silicato de sódio apresentou retração por secagem e autógena superior à apresentada pelos demais ativadores e pelo cimento portland. A maior parte dessa retração medida ocorre até os 7 dias. A retração por secagem ocorre em dois estágios: o primeiro logo após a desmoldagem e o segundo a partir do início da formação dos produtos hidratados. O início da retração autógena coincide com o segundo estágio da retração por secagem. Com base nos ensaios de microestrutura, são determinantes para a elevada retração do cimento de escória ativada com silicato de sódio: a baixa porosidade, caracterizada pela predominância quase total de mesoporos; o elevado grau de hidratação e natureza dos produtos hidratados, com predominância quase total de silicato cálcio hidratado (C-S-H). Na ativação com cal e com cal mais gipsita, a composição diferente dos produtos hidratados (baixa formação de C-S-H e presença significativa de fases aluminato e sulfoluminato, respectivamente) altera a porosidade e a retração, principalmente a autógena que apresenta valores inferiores à do cimento portland. A ativação com hidróxido sódio é caracterizada pela elevada retração autógena e baixa formação de C-S-H, com presença significativa de fases aluminato. / The use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) as an alternative binder to portland cement has been the subject of numerous studies in Brazil and other countries. Because BFS is a residue, its use benefits the environment. Furthermore, BFS cement is less costly and shows technical advantages if compared with normal portland cement, namely the higher strength, good durability in aggressive environments, and low heat of hydration. On the other hand, the high shrinkage of BSF cement is often indicated as one of the major limiting aspects for its use. The objective of this research was to study the development of unrestrained autogenous and drying shrinkage of BSF cement as function, mainly, of the chemical activator types and dosages. Autogenous shrinkage was measured in fully aluminum foil and plastic sheet wrapped specimens. Measurements were taken from 6 hours up to 112 days. Shrinkage was also analyzed in conjunction with mercury posorimetry, conduction calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction tests. Activators used were sodium silicate, hydrated lime + gypsite, hydrated lime and sodium hydroxide. High early strength portland cement was used as reference. The results showed that autogenous and drying shrinkage were larger when BFS was activated with sodium silicate. Most of the shrinkage occurs before 7 days of hydration. Drying shrinkage occurs in two phases: the first phase immediately after demolding, and the second phase concurrently with the formation of the hydrated products. Autogenous shrinkage coincides with the second phase of the drying shrinkage. Based on microstructure analysis, determining factors could be identified that respond for the high shrinkage of sodium silicate activated BFS cement: low porosity, mostly mesopores; high degree of hydration and chemical nature of the hydrated products, essentially calcium silicate hydrate - C-S-H. Activation with hydrated lime and hydrated lime plus dehydrated calcium results low amounts of C-S-H and significant quantities of aluminate and sulphoaluminate phases, respectively. Porosity and shrinkage, mainly autogenous, are lower than that verified for portland cement mixtures. Activation with sodium hydroxide causes high autogenous shrinkage, small amounts of C-S-H and significant quantities of aluminate phases.

Alkali Control in the Blast Furnace – Influence of Modified Ash Composition and Charging Practice

Olofsson, Jenny January 2017 (has links)
The enrichment of alkali in the blast furnace has been proven to be a catalyst of coke gasification and is thus a key parameter in the degradation of coke. Alkali also directly destroys the carbon structure, increases the risk of scaffold formation, increases the load and attacks the refractory. It is thus important to decrease the recirculation of alkali in the blast furnace and the gasification of coke to ensure sufficient strength of the coke. The aim of the present study was to examine possible ways of alkali control in the blast furnace. This was done by investigating if coke with a modified ash composition contributed to a higher capacity of binding alkali in stable phases, which can be drained via the slag. This would decrease the recirculation of alkali in the blast furnace and prohibit coke degradation. Two campaigns were studied to determine the distribution of alkali in the shaft when the charging differed, this to improve the understanding of alkali control in the blast furnace with respect to the charging practice. Three different test cokes were produced in pilot scale with a mineral addition of kaolin, silica or bauxite. The test cokes were together with base coke used as a reference, charged in baskets to LKAB’s Experimental Blast Furnace (EBF) at the end of a campaign. When the campaign was finished the EBF was quenched with nitrogen and the charged baskets were excavated. The influence of alkali on coke with a modified ash composition was examined with XRF, XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA. This was done in order to confirm any difference between the test cokes and the base coke in terms of chemical composition, phases in the coke ash, degree of graphitisation and reactivity. The results showed that the base coke in most cases had collected more alkali compared to the test coke with a mineral addition of kaolin and silica. For the test coke with addition of bauxite the alkali content was higher in three out of four samples compared with the corresponding base coke. Unreacted grains with bauxite were detected, which indicates that bauxite was completely or partly inactive in the capturing of alkali. All aluminosilicates detected in the coke samples contained alkali, which indicates that aluminosilicates contributes in the capturing of alkali in the EBF. The main mineral phases containing potassium in the coke were kalsilite, leucite and other aluminosilicates with varying alkali content. The carbon conversion and thus the reactivity increased with the alkali content in both the test coke and the base coke. The reactivity of the test coke was thus not decreased due to the mineral addition. No indications of an increased capacity of capturing alkali in stable phases could be seen in the test cokes, this could be due to the low amount of minerals added. The uptake of alkali in the different coke types was dependent of the horizontal and vertical position in the EBF, and thus the conditions the baskets had been exposed to and the distribution of alkali within the EBF. It was concluded that the charging had an impact on the alkali distribution in the EBF. During campaign 31 the alkali content was more evenly distributed over the horizontal section in the upper part of the furnace, in the lower shaft the alkali content increased towards the centre. During campaign 32 the alkali content was increasing towards the walls in shaft of the EBF. The content of alkali in the lower shaft was higher during campaign 32 compared with campaign 31.

Studium karbonatace alkalicky aktivovaných systémů / Study of carbonatation in alkali activated systems

Suchý, Rostislav January 2016 (has links)
The carbonation of the building materials based on the ordinary Portland cement is relatively well-known and extensively studied phenomenon. Conversely mechanism, reaction products and factors affecting the carbonation of the alkali activated materials are still not sufficiently clarified. In this work, the progression of the carbonation of the alkali activated materials under different conditions was investigated. The reaction products and the microstructural changes were determined by XRD respectively SEM-EDX analysis. The corrosive conditions due to the decreasing of the pH of the binders by the carbonation were observed by XPS analysis of the steel fibers. The carbonation of the alkali activated samples was compared with the reference samples based on the Portland composite cement. Besides these analyzes, the mechanical properties of the binders were monitored.

Studium mechanismu působení přísad redukující smrštění v alkalicky aktivovaných materiálech / On the mechanisms of shrinkage reducing admixtures in alkali activated materials

Komosná, Kateřina January 2017 (has links)
This thesis is focused on the principles of behavior of shrinkage reducing agents (SRA) in alkali-activated materials based on blast furnace slag. The main focus of this work is selecting the most suitable admixture based on experiments, by which will be achieved through minimal shrinkage and will have negative effect on the properties of alkali-activated blast furnace slag at the same time. In experimental section of this work, the surface tension as individual additives as their mixtures with pore solution were measured primarily. Then the testing samples composed of blast furnace slag, water glass and addition of SRA were prepared. Of these samples was measured shrinkage and weight loss. Moreover, their mechanical properties such as flexural and compressive strength were monitored. Next, the beginning and the end of solidification was studied using the Vicat device and last but not least workability. The hydration process of alkali-activated materials with SRA was measured calorimetrically. Finally the microstructure in prepared samples was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) and the total porosity was determined by mercury porosimeter.
