High-Effective Lightweight Aggregate Obtained from Glass-Containing Waste

The properties of high-strength artificial porous aggregate from glass-containing waste of metallurgical productions are described. The developed technology makes it possible to expand the raw material base for the production of aggregates for light concrete. Granulated slags of metallurgical productions – the main (M₀>1) slags of the Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant and acid (M₀<1) slags of the Gorky plant are studied. According to the results of studies, it was found that the optimal swelling interval for acidic slags is 1000–1100^оC, and for basic slags-1100–1150^оC. A high – strength artificial porous aggregate-slag gravel with a bulk density of 340–780 kg/m³ and a compressive strength in the cylinder of 2.8–12.3 MPa was obtained. The main physical and mechanical properties of the resulting aggregate, which meets the requirements of the current standard GOST 9757–90 “Gravel, crushed stone and sand. Artificial porous”, were studied. The aggregate obtained is almost twice as strong as the known aggregate of expanded clay gravel. With the use of porous gravel and sand, light concrete of strength class B7,5–B40 and a density of 1100–1600 kg/m³ was obtained.
