在过去的20年里,烟气脱硫石膏(FGD石膏)已成为一种有价值且广泛用于生产石膏的天然原料替代品,迫击炮,和许多其他建筑产品。脱硫石膏的主要优点包括其高纯度和稳定性,与天然石膏相比,可以提供更好的技术参数,and,直到最近,它的低价格和容易获得。这种脱硫石膏是在电厂烟气和废气脱硫过程中获得的,火力发电厂,炼油厂,等。,使用化石燃料,如煤或石油。欧盟国家逐步减少化石原料的能源生产,直到2049年完全停止使用可再生能源,这显著影响了合成石膏的可用性。并迫使迫击炮和其他建筑产品的生产商寻找新的解决方案。通常使用的轻质灰泥砂浆中的石膏含量通常为50至60质量%。这项工作介绍了砂浆测试的结果,其中作者减少了石膏的量到30%,and,为了满足EN13279-1:2008标准规定的强度要求,硅酸盐水泥的添加量为6-12质量%。这种合成石膏含量的大幅减少将减少这种原料的消耗,从而扩大其可用性并开发其他解决方案。该研究提供了强度测试结果,密度,孔隙度,孔径分布,在相对湿度增加的条件下,在长达180天的成熟过程中,砂浆的微观结构发生了变化。结果表明,由于水化产物的形成导致微观结构的致密化,孔隙率降低,机械强度增加。比如C-S-H,钙矾石,和thaumasite.
Over the last 20 years, flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGD gypsum) has become a valuable and widely used substitute for a natural raw material to produce plasters, mortars, and many other construction products. The essential advantages of FGD gypsum include its high purity and stability, which allow for better technical parameters compared to natural gypsum, and, until recently, its low price and easy availability. This FGD gypsum is obtained in the process of desulfurization of flue gases and waste gases in power plants, thermal power plants, refineries, etc., using fossil fuels such as coal or oil. The gradual reduction in energy production from fossil raw materials implemented by European Union countries until its complete cessation in 2049 in favor of renewable energy sources significantly affects the availability of synthetic gypsum, and forces producers of mortars and other construction products to look for new solutions. The gypsum content in commonly used light plaster mortars is usually from 50 to 60% by mass. This work presents the results of tests on mortars wherein the authors reduced the amount of gypsum to 30%, and, to meet the strength requirements specified in the EN 13279-1:2008 standard, added Portland cement in the amount of 6-12% by mass. Such a significant reduction in the content of synthetic gypsum will reduce this raw material\'s consumption, thus extending its availability and developing other solutions. The
study presented the test results on strength, density, porosity, pore size distribution, and changes in the microstructure of mortars during up to 180 days of maturation in conditions of increased relative humidity. The results show that decreased porosity and increased mechanical strength occur due to the densification of the microstructure caused by the formation of hydration products, such as C-S-H, ettringite, and thaumasite.
