Analysis of Technical Suitability of Using Wood Ash in Cement Based Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Economic and environmental issues are directly related to industrial processes which, not only employ natural resources but also generate by-products that may impact the environment. In order to achieve sustainable development, reducing the use of natural resources and lowering cost through adequate destination of waste becomes a crucial issue. The aim of this paper is to analyze the suitability of reusing waste (wood ash) resulting from the combustion process at wood product industries for manufacturing cement based materials used in civil engineering. The material assessed is ash from the combustion process of a wood product industry. In this study, physical and chemical properties such as grain size, mineral and chemical composition of this by-product were characterized. Thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction techniques were used for this purpose. Preliminary results show the suitability of using the waste (wood ash) for manufacturing cement based materials
