Characterization Physics, Chemistry and Mineralogy of Waste from Kaolin and their Potential Pozzolanic to Alkali Activation
Abstract:
The University Federal of Paraíba has developed various researches to explore the potential for recycling of industrial waste of Paraíba. Among them, the potential of use in the waste generated by processing of kaolin, which is one of the activities of great economic importance to the State of Paraíba and municipalities producers, because it causes a great environmental impact due to lack of an established recycling process. The kaolin processing generates large amounts of waste, one of fractions, a sandy (called in this study of RGC) containing quartz, mica and calcite; and other clay (called in this study of RFC) containing higher amounts of kaolinite. This objective of study is the characterization physical, chemical and mineralogical of waste kaolin (RFC and RGC) in order to evaluate the potential use of these wastes in the alkaline activation using silicates sodium and potassium. The characterizations physics, chemistry and mineralogy were by XRF, XRD, Unit Mass, Specific Mass and Specific Area. With the objective of studying the potential of waste as a material pozzolanic, it was processing through grinding at 10.000, 20.000, 40.000, 60.000 and 80.000 rpm and with the purpose of evaluating the reactivity of materials, these wastes were calcined at 750°C/2h.The wastes RFC and RGC had different properties according to the processing. Thus, the waste RFChas the potential pozzolanic to use in alkaline activation.
