    (2022) Silva, Keoma Defáveri do Carmo e; Cotta, Jéssica Fernandes; Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Carvalho, José Maria Franco de; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti; Silva, Guilherme Jorge Brigolini
    In this study, the effects of a recycled mineral admixture based on glass wool residue (GWR) in microstructural and mechanical properties of ordinary portland cement (OPC)-based composites are examined. The GWR was dried and milled into a fine powder, whereby it was physicochemically characterized. Physicomechanical tests, quantitative X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope observation were performed in pastes and mortars at 28, 56, and 90 days of age. Moreover, the potential application of the GWR was evaluated by determining the pozzolanic activity and the fiber reinforcement effect. The results showed that the partial replacement of cement by 25% by weight of GWR presented no reductions in flexural strength at 28 and 56 days of curing, whereas the long-term flexural strength increased by 17%. This replacement also increased the long-term compressive strength of the composites—reaching a strength activity index of 1.06. The results also showed that GWR presented some fiber reinforcement effect—depending on the particle size. Promising properties were observed for samples blended with GWR, yielding technical, environmental, and economic benefits.

    (2022) Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Nogueira, Marcela Aguiar; Andrade, Humberto Dias; Carvalho, José Maria Franco de; Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Brigolini, Guilherme Jorge; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti
    The steel slag is a residue for the steel industry that is already applied in many cement-based composites, although there is a lack of studies on the durability of this material in aggressive environments. This work evaluated the durability against chloride attack of concrete produced using steel slag as aggregate and mineral admixture, called steel slag powder. For comparison purposes, reference concretes using conventional aggregates and commercial mineral admixtures (silica fume and metakaolin) were produced. The concretes produced with steel slag aggregates and steel slag powder had lower chloride penetration depths compared to conventional ones. The steel slag powder presented an ability similar to silica fume of forming Friedel salt. The concrete produced with steel slag aggregates also presented a smaller water absorption and a higher compressive/tensile strength compared to the reference one. In general, this research observed that steel slag concretes are techni- cally feasible options for the construction sector.

    Eco-efficient steel slag concretes : an alternative to achieve circular economy.
    (2022) Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Nogueira, Marcela Aguiar; Ferreira, Larissa Caroline; Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Carvalho, José Maria Franco de; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti
    Annually billions of tonnes of aggregates are extracted to apply in civil construction generating environmental impacts and energy consumption. So, based on circular economy principles applying residues as aggregates is a good solution to reduce the mining activity and to generate a more efficient destination for the residues. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental performance of concretes produced entirely with steel slag aggregates. The concretes were characterized through physical properties, as specific gravity, water absorption, compressive and tensile strength. Durability tests (expansibility) were also conducted. The authors analyzed the cost assessment and environmental impact of steel slag concrete production as well. The incorporation of steel slag increases the compressive and tensile strength of concrete, analyzed in different ages. Additionally, the steel slag does not present expansibility when confined in the concrete matrix. The entire replacement of natural aggregates for steel slag allowed to reduce in 31% the cement consumption, a decrease of 140 kg/m3 , for the same strength class. The environmental analysis showed that the incorporation of steel slag aggregates reduced the cement intensity of concrete and its impact. Regarding the cost assessment, the mixtures with steel slag presented a lower cost compared to the conventional one. These results indicate that steel slag aggregates could be used in a cleaner production of concrete, replacing natural aggregates with no injury. This research provides the feasibility of using steel slag aggregates in a cleaner and cheaper concrete production and contribute to the promotion of sustainable solutions for the construction sector through the circular economy principles.

    Mechanical performance and resistance to carbonation of steel slag reinforced concrete.
    (2021) Andrade, Humberto Dias; Carvalho, José Maria Franco de; Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Silva, Keoma Defáveri do Carmo e; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti
    The use of residues as alternative materials in the production of cement-based composites is significantly growing since it embraces the circular economy concepts. This alternative reduces the demand for nat- ural resources by the construction sector and provides a proper destination for a range of industrial resi- dues. However, the alternative materials must perform properly for safe applications. In this way, the steel slag, a residue of the steel industry, stands out. The steel slag is already applied in some cement- based composites showing enhancement in the mechanical performance, although its durability is barely evaluated. So, this research produced eco-friendly structural concretes of three compressive strength classes and for similar application parameters. The evaluations were performed in concretes with total replacement of conventional aggregates by steel slag aggregates, containing no chemical admixtures and in the presence of a PCE-based superplasticizer. The mechanical performance and resistance to car- bonation of these products were evaluated. An accelerated carbonation test was proposed and adopted to better understand the carbonation phenomenon within the research timeframe. The steel slag concretes presented higher compressive strengths and reductions in carbonation depths up to 60% compared to conventional ones. These results corroborate the technical feasibility of applying steel slag as aggregates in cement-based composites.

    Ativação alcalina do rejeito de barragem de minério de ferro com adição de sílica ativa.
    (2020) Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Silva, Guilherme Jorge Brigolini; Silva, Keoma Defáveri do Carmo e; Silva, Guilherme Jorge Brigolini; Silva, Keoma Defáveri do Carmo e; Carvalho, José Maria Franco de; Pedroti, Leonardo Gonçalves; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti
    Em 2017, a produção bruta de minério de ferro no Brasil foi de 585 milhões de toneladas, das quais 453 passaram por processos de beneficiamento, gerando grandes volumes de rejeito, que comumente são dispostos em barragens. Entre 1990 e 2010, ocorreram 33 acidentes com barragens no mundo, considerados graves ou muito graves. Por outro lado, o setor da construção civil cresce aceleradamente e a produção mundial de cimento, somente em 2016, gerou aproximadamente 2,2 bilhões de toneladas de CO2. Assim, este trabalho propõe a produção de um aglomerante: uma possível alternativa aos cimentos convencionais, formados a partir de um ataque de soluções alcalinas a aluminossilicatos amorfos que dão origem a materiais conhecidos por possuírem altas resistências e boa durabilidade. Como precursor, empregou-se o rejeito de minério de ferro (IOT) e como adição, a sílica ativa (SF) nas porcentagens de 1.5, 2.25 e 5% sobre a massa do rejeito. A cura foi realizada por 2 dias à temperatura ambiente e posteriormente 3 dias em estufa à 100 ºC. Aos 5 e 28 dias de idade, avaliou-se as características das matrizes por densidade aparente, resistência mecânica (tração na flexão e compressão), DRX e FTIR. Os maiores valores de adição de sílica ativa corresponderam à maior retração das pastas. A análise de variância ANOVA para a resistência à tração e compressão, mostrou que adições de sílica ativa maiores que 1,5% influenciaram o comportamento das pastas aos 5 e 28 dias de cura. Os resultados de DRX e FTIR sugerem uma dissolução parcial da goetita e do quartzo. Observou-se também a dissolução total da caulinita e da gibbsita e a formação de um uma zeólita: a sodalita. A quantificação do teor de amorfo pelo método de Rietveld e os resultados de FTIR sugerem a formação do gel NASH nas pastas tanto aos 5 e 28 dias de cura. Por fim, os resultados demonstraram ser possível a produção de um aglomerante a partir da ativação alcalina de rejeitos de barragem de minério de ferro com adição de sílica ativa, pelo método one part, sem ativação térmica ou mecanoquímica do precursor.

    On the relationship between morphology and thermal conductivity of cement-based composites.
    (2019) Mendes, Júlia Castro; Barreto, Rodrigo Rony; Paula, Ana Carolina Barbieri de; Elói, Fernanda Pereira da Fonseca; Silva, Guilherme Jorge Brigolini; Peixoto, Ricardo André Fiorotti
    The present work discloses the factors related to the morphology of the matrix that affect the thermal conductivity of cement-based composites. For this purpose, we investigated three mortar mixes with cement and hydrated lime (1:3, 1:1:6 and 1:2:9); and three types of aggregates (river sand, iron ore tailings, friable quartzite). We studied how the chemical composition and particle characteristics of the aggregates affect the overall properties of the mortars. In this sense, physical and chemical characterisation of the aggregates were performed; along with the physical, thermal and morphological evaluation of the resulting mortars. It is concluded that the morphology of the matrix is more relevant to the thermal conductivity of mortars than the chemical composition of its components. Also, the pore system generated by the aggregates in the mortar is more correlated to its thermal conductivity than its total porosity and specific gravity.
