    Valorisation des boues d’épuration en matériaux de construction

    La quantité croissante de boues d'épuration devenant un problème urgent et inévitable pour chaque pays, ses applications dans la production de matériaux de construction et de construction offrent une solution alternative pour l'élimination des boues et la récupération des ressources. Comme pour l'argile et le ciment Portland, les principaux oxydes dans les boues d'épuration sont SiO2 (10–25 %), Al2O3 (5–10 %) et CaO (10–30 %) qui sont augmentés dans les cendres des boues après incinération à 25–50 % , 10–20 % et 15–30 %. Par conséquent, ces déchets solides peuvent être utilisés non seulement comme matière première pour la production d'éco-ciment, de briques, de matériaux céramiques et d'agrégats légers par le processus de frittage, mais également comme adjuvants supplémentaires dans les matériaux cimentaires tels que les composants pouzzolaniques, les agrégats fins ou les matériaux de remplissage.

    Assessing the Durability of Mortar Incorporating Sewage Sludge Ash under High-Temperature Exposure

    The use of sewage sludge ash, also known as sewage sludge incineration ash (SSIA), as a construction material has gained attention in recent years. This study aims to investigate the effect of SSIA on the durability of equivalent mortar exposed to high temperatures. The exposure of mortar cont5aining SSIA to high temperatures can have various effects on its durability. Some of the potential effects include a reduction in mechanical strength, degradation of the microstructure, weight loss, and the formation of new mineral phases. However, these effects can vary depending on the composition of the SSIA and other components of the mortar, as well as the specific conditions of high-temperature exposure. Further experimental studies are needed to provide more accurate evaluations of the impact of SSIA on the durability of equivalent mortar exposed to high temperatures.
