Mikroelementai – tai tokie elementai, kurie organizmui yra reikalingi miligraminiais ir mikrograminiais kiekiais. Šių medžiagų disbalansas organizme sutrikdo normalias organizmo funkcijas. Galvijai ypač jautrūs mikroelementų trūkumui. Šių mineralinių medžiagų stoka organizme pasireiškia kailio pakitimais, odos žaizdomis, nagų opomis, mastitais, metritais, nevaisingumu ir kitais organizmo funkcijų sutrikimais. Visą tai sumažina bandos naudingumą, dėl to gyvulių augintojai patiria didelių ekonominių nuostolių. Norint užtikrinti galvijų sveikatingumą ir pagerinti eksploatacines savybes, reikia įvertinti visus veiksnius, sąlygojančius mikroelementų kiekio kaitą galvijo organizme. Tam reikia įvertinti mineralinių medžiagų kiekį dirvožemyje, pašaruose, vandenyje ir atsižvelgti į organizmo sveikatos būklę, produktyvumą, amžių, veislę, klimato sąlygas. Mikroelementų trūkumas paplitęs visame pasaulyje. Intensyvi žemdirbystė, įvairių trąšų, pesticidų ir herbicidų naudojimas pakeičia dirvožemio ir jame augančių augalų biochemines savybes, o tuo pačiu tai įtakoja mikroelementų kiekio dinamiką organizme. Su pašarais naudojamų mineralinių priedų poveikis organizmui skiriasi, priklausomai nuo jų cheminės formos, mikroelementų balanso ir sudėties. Literatūroje daugiausia duomenų randama apie makroelementus ir jų biologinę reikšmę galvijų organizmui. Duomenų apie mikroelementų kiekio kaitą galvijo organizme, Lietuvoje, trūksta. Nėra žinoma, kaip kinta mikroelementų kiekis karvių kraujo serume...

Any imbalance of these substances in the body disturbs normal body function. Cattle are especially vulnerable to deficiency of microelements. The lack of minerals in the body is evidenced by changes of coat, skin wounds, nail ulcers, mastitis, metritis, infertility and other disorders of the body function. All these factors reduce the utility of herd, and cattle breeders are experiencing severe economic losses. To ensure the health of cattle and to improve features of exploitation, it is necessary to evaluate all factors, that determine the change of microelements’ level in the animal body. This requires evaluation of microelements in soil, fodder and water. A well in order to determine microelements’ level in the body, it is necessary to consider the condition of health of the cattle, their productivity, age, breed and climate conditions. Deficiency of microelements is spread worldwide. Intensive farming, use of various fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides exhausts the soil and modifies biochemical features of the soil and plants growing in it, and at the same time it modifies microelements’ level in the body. Effect of mineral additives that are used along with the fodder on the body varies depending on their chemical form, balance and composition of microelements. Most of the data, found in the literature, is about the macro elements and their biological... [to full text]

Il est possible de modifier la composition des bétons utilisés dans le domaine de la construction pour réduire sensiblement le dégagement de CO2 associé à leur fabrication. Ceci est obtenu en réduisant significativement la quantité de clinker et en incorporant des matériaux de substitution appelés additions. Elles sont généralement moins réactives et demandent, pour maintenir un niveau acceptable de performances mécaniques et de durabilité, une réduction importante du dosage en eau. C'est le cas des bétons à faible impact environnemental. L'utilisation de superplastifiant dans ces bétons permet d'augmenter leur fluidité mais leur viscosité plastique reste toujours élevée ce qui induit des problèmes de mise en œuvre. La maîtrise de la viscosité plastique de ce type de béton est donc cruciale pour le développement de ces produits.Avec cet objectif fixé, dans la première partie de cette étude, un rhéomètre à béton, adapté aux spécificités des bétons à faible impact environnemental, a été développé. Associé à un protocole d'essai pertinent cet appareil permet de caractériser le comportement rhéologique non seulement des bétons courants mais également des bétons à faible impact environnemental.Ensuite, l'utilisation de ce rhéomètre dans un programme expérimental a permis de mettre en évidence l'effet des paramètres de compositions et notamment le taux de substitution et la nature des additions sur leur comportement rhéologique.Les résultats obtenus à partir de ce programme ont permis de proposer et valider un modèle de calcul de la viscosité plastique en considérant que le béton est constitué de deux échelles : pâte et granulats. Le modèle est applicable pour les bétons ordinaires et pour les bétons à faible impact environnemental. Une méthode d'optimisation de la viscosité a été proposée à l'aide du modèle. / It is possible to modify the composition of conventional concrete used in the building field in order to reduce the emission of CO2 associated with their manufacture, particularly in the production of their constituents. This is can be achieved by significantly reducing the amount of clinker and incorporating alternative materials (mineral and chemical additions), which are generally have a lower reactivity and require a low quantity of water, with an adequate level of mechanical performance and durability. This is the case of concrete with low environmental impact. The use superplasticizer in the production of concrete allows increasing their flowability, despite the using of low content of water, but their plastic viscosity remains high and may cause problems of implementation. Controlling the plastic viscosity of this type of concrete is crucial to ensure the development of these products.Within this objective, a rheometer for concrete was developed. The relevant test protocol used for this apparatus enables to characterize the rheological behavior not only for conventional concrete, but also for concrete with low environmental impact.The use of the developed rheometer within an experimental program permits then to highlight the effect of the parameters of concrete compositions, and in particular the used additions (type and rate of substitution) on their rheological behavior.The obtained results from this program propose and validate a mathematical model for assessing the plastic viscosity, which is applicable for ordinary concrete and concrete with low environmental impact. An optimization method for calculating the plastic viscosity of the concrete has been proposed using this model.

Two active mineral additives were selected in the investigation described in the dissertation: unground catalyst from the reactor of catalytic oil cracking (CAT) and unburned mullite wool (MW). The possibilities to utilise these raw materials in the production of the expanded-clay lightweight concrete are not analysed yet. Main topic of the research: influence of the active mineral additives (CAT and MW) on the main characteristics of the expanded-clay lightweight concrete. / Disertacijoje aprašytuose tyrimuose buvo pasirinkti du aktyvūs mineraliniai priedai: nemaltas katalizatorius iš katalitinio naftos krekingo reaktoriaus (KAT) ir nedegta mulitinė vata (MV). Galimybės šias atliekas naudoti keramzitbetonio gamyboje iki šiol netirtos. Pagrindinė tyrimo tematika – aktyviųjų mineralinių priedų (KAT ir MV) įtaka pagrindinėms keramzitbetonio charakteristikoms.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a viabilidade da utilização de cinzas de resíduos agroindustriais (bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, cama de frango e casca de arroz) como aditivos minerais substitutos ao cimento Portland, na produção de compósitos fibrosos e concreto leve. As cinzas foram obtidas através da queima e moagem controlada dos resíduos, e tiveram suas características químicas e físicas analisadas. Além do \"compósito referência\" (0% de substituição), os compósitos fibrosos foram produzidos com teores de substituição de cimento Portland de 10%, 15% e 20%, e os concretos leves foram produzidos com 10% de substituição. Foram realizados ensaios físicos e mecânicos nos compósitos fibrosos e concreto leve. Os resultados mostraram que as cinzas de casca de arroz apresentaram propriedades pozolânicas e que podem ser empregadas para a produção dos compósitos fibrosos e concretos leve. No estudo com compósitos fibrosos, os resultados físicos e mecânicos em sua maioria indicaram que a cinza de casca de arroz apresentou os melhores resultados. Como não apresentaram propriedades pozolânicas, as cinzas de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e cama de frango, mesmo apresentando bons resultados, podem ser utilizadas como \"micro-fillers\". No estudo com concreto leve, a cinza de casca de arroz também se apresentou como melhor substituto para o cimento Portland por apresentar os melhores resultados nos ensaios realizados. / This research examines the viability of the use of waste agro industrials ashes (sugar cane bagasse, poultry litter and rice husk) and mineral additives substitutes to Portland cement in the production of composite fiber and lightweight concrete. The ashes were obtained through controlled burns and milling waste, and had their chemical and physical characteristics analyzed. Besides the \"composite reference\" (0% substitution), the fiber composites were produced with levels of replacement of Portland cement, 10%, 15% and 20%, and lightweight concrete were produced with 10% of replacement. Were tested on physical and mechanical fiber composites and lightweight concrete. The results showed that the ashes of rice husk had pozolanic properties and can be used for the production of fiber composite and lightweight concrete. In the study with fiber composites, the results physical and mechanical mostly indicated that the rice husk ash showed the best results. As there had pozolanics properties, the ashes of sugar cane bagasse and poultry litter, even showing good results, can be used as \"micro-fillers\". In the study with lightweight concrete, the ash of rice husk is also presented as a better replacement for Portland cement by presenting the best results in tests.
