| Abstract |
This study aimed to prepare a high performance plastic concrete made of epoxy resin and Portland type-I cement mixed with at least one inorganic solid waste of demercurated lighting phosphor powder or municipal solid waste incineration scrubber residue. The ratio between liquid epoxy resin and cement was 1:2; the scrubber residue and demercurated phosphor powder were added as modifiers for cement component in order to improve the strength and thermal properties of synthesized plastic concrete. The results indicate that, the addition of scrubber residue causes a decrease in both strength and thermal properties; whereas, the demercurated phosphor powder can replace 100% of the contents of cement without any significantly change in either strength or thermal properties. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the chemical structure of cured concrete and the results indicate that the surface softness increases with an increase in the mixed percentage of epoxy resin. |
