Abstract
The disposal of waste bottom ash (WBA) is an environmental and economic challenge for the manufacturer. Therefore, disposal of waste bottom ashes is important for sustainable production. In this study, the usability of WBA instead of cement in the mortar was investigated. For this purpose, the workability, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), flexural strength (ff), compressive strength (fc), microstructure, and hazard potentials of mortars containing WBA were examined. Effect levels of the selected variables (replacement ratio: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%, and 50%, specimen age: 28, 60, and 90 day) on the UPV, ff, and fc were determined by ANOVA, and response surfaces were created. UPV and fc were decreased at all specimen ages with an increasing replacement ratio. The R2 of the models for the UPV, ff, and fc is higher (0.9660, 0.8034, and 0.9029). According to the leaching test results, Cd, Pb, Hg, and As values of all mortar samples were below the detection limit (not detectable) in this evaluation. The Cr values in all mortar samples remained below the maximum concentration of 5 mg/L, which is the given restriction of TCLP procedure.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management.
The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
