En la presente tesis se ha realizado un estudio sobre las posibilidades que ofrecen los geopolímeros basados en cenizas volantes procedentes de la combustión de carbón pulverizado en Centrales Térmicas en su aplicación a la Estabilización/Solidificación (E/S) de residuos industriales que contienen metales pesados y otros elementos peligrosos....

Contribuciones al estudio de la porosidad de geopolímeros basados en cenizas volantes. Relación entre grado de reacción, porosidad y resistencia a compresión. La principal contribución de este documento es el desarrollo de un estudio sistemático implicando una serie de parámetros que podrían afectar a las propiedades de los geopolímeros:...

Foi realizada uma série de experimentos para estabelecer e avaliar o potencial de carvão ativado produzido de resíduos de café por meio de um processo de adsorção na depuração do lixiviado de aterro sanitário. Foram estudados diferentes reagentes para a ativação do carvão: HCl, HCl + H2O2, H3PO4, H3PO4 + H2O2, todos com taxa de impregnação de...

The depuration of landfill leachate (LL) was evaluated by solar advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (photo-Fenton + O3 and photo-Fenton + O2) and adsorption processes, using activated carbon made from fish scales, as either post-treatment or pre-treatment of advanced oxidation process. Also, the effect in the reduction of toxicity of LL...

The aim of this study is to compare the mechanical and physical properties of different geopolymer mortars made with granulated blast furnace slag as a geopolymer source material, NaOH (8 M) as the activating solution, and three different types of fine aggregates (air-cooled blast furnace slag, biomass bottom ashes, and silica sand). The...

Ladle slag, a byproduct of steel manufacturing, exhibits inherent reactivity and undergoes hydration when exposed to water. Nevertheless, these reaction byproducts often remain metastable, leading to microstructural alterations when incorporated into cementitious materials, thereby limiting the recycling potential of ladle slag. This study...

The aim of this work is the development of a porous geopolymeric foam with sound absorbing properties using silica fume as the pore generation agent. The samples were manufactured using a coal combustion fly ash as source material for the geopolymerization reaction, an alkaline solution as activating solution and silica fume as pore forming...

This research analyzes whether a titanium dioxide waste (TiO2 waste) can be used as a source material for geopolymers with good fire resistance properties. Samples with differ ent proportions were prepared, replacing fly ashes with titanium dioxide waste on geopolymers (0, 20, 30, 40 and 100% w/w). The activating solution has a Na2O/SiO2 molar...

This paper presents the results of a study about the effect of fire on geopolymer paste composed of fly ashes, metakaolin and sodium silicate. 2 cm thick, 28 cm high and 18 cm wide panels were filled with the paste obtained. After 28 days of curing at 20 °C and 45% of relative humidity, different tests were carried out in the geopolymers:...

Paval, a solid waste stream from the aluminum industry, is used as a pore generation agent in geopolymers. Paval was mixed with coal combustion fly ash, as a geopolymeric precursor, and activated with alkaline solution with the aim of obtaining porous geopolymers to be used as noise barriers. Both geopolymeric and pore generation reactions...

More and more by-products are being used in certain materials, especially in the construction industry. Natural construction materials contain amounts of heavy metals and radionuclides, but when by-products are used in these kinds of materials, this could lead to a growth in their concentrations and have a negative impact on public health.In...

In this work, the recovery of valuable metals from Bayer red mud using hydrometallurgical techniques and the subsequent use of the solid remaining after leaching as the principal component of the fired bricks were analyzed. Water, sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide were used as leaching agents. Different L/S ratios and contact times were also...

Biomass gasification technology offers an attractive way to use low-grade fuels in energy production with high efficiency and low environmental impact. However, an issue calling for further development is the volume and quality of fly ash, since biomass gasification fly ash contains more un-reacted carbon compounds than fly ash from direct...

In this study, biomass ashes from different energy valorization processes and storage conditions were used to make fire-resistant materials. Some of the ashes were subjected to a carbonation process. An 80/20 ash/gypsum ratio was used in all compositions. The density and different mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength,...

Las capacidades pedagógicas representan una de las partes fundamentales para el desarrollo profesional del novel. El principal objetivo del trabajo era desarrollar el conocimiento pedagógico para mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza y e desarrollo del profesor. Este aspecto es particu­ larmente evidente en ingeniería, por lo que se ha llevado a...
