Recycled Nanoparticles of Artificial Corundum as Fine-Grained Addition in Concrete Mixture

Article Preview

Abstract:

This document deals with study of nanoand micro particles of artificial corundum in cement mixtures. This inert material with high hardness is usually used as fine-grained additions of concrete mixture. The most important characteristic of corundum is very high hardness (number 9 on Mohr scale). That is the reason, why is mostly added to the cement mixture primary intended for high load flooring. In this paper were studied several type of recycled corundum classified due to its origin. Because it is a recycled material, it was necessary to first examined basic physical properties such as chemical composition or granulometry. We have applied this fine grain material to cement mixes and compared their mechanical properties. For comparison measurement were used a mixture without this admixture and mixture with a corundum with similar granulometry but non-recycled origin.
