Abstract

This work aims to evaluate waste marble dust in building industry therefore minimizing the environmental effects of waste dust and maximizing economic benefits with reducing the use of raw material and energy. The marble process industry generates a large amount of wastes during quarrying and sawing processes which pollute and damage the environment. There are many fields in which the marble wastes can be used, one of them is to use them in building industry. In this work, marble dusts provided from 3 different quarries, coming from 3 different places were coded as BN1, BN2 and BN3. After characterizing tests of the dust, they were used in the production of artificial marble tiles using a different amount of resin binder. By the respective physical, optical, chemical, and mechanical tests the maximum quantities that can be added have been determined. The results show that using 80 wt.-% marble dust and 20 wt.-% resin gives the best properties in tiles.

Kurzfassung

Die diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegende Arbeit hatte zum Ziel, Abfall-Marmorstaub aus der Bauindustrie zu evaluieren, um die Auswirkungen von Abfallstaub auf die Umwelt zu minimieren und um die ökonomischen Vorteile in Bezug auf die Verwendung von Rohstoffen und Energie zu maximieren. Die Marmorproduktion generiert einen großen Anteil von Abfällen während des Abbaus und der Sägearbeiten, die die Umwelt verschmutzen und zerstören. Es gibt viele Bereiche, in denen Marmorabfälle verwendet werden können, einer davon ist die Bauindustrie. In der Arbeit wurden Marmorstäube von drei verschiedenen Steinbrüchen untersucht und als BN1, BN2 und BN3 kodiert. Nach charakterisierenden Prüfungen der Stäube wurden sie für die Herstellung von künstlichen Marmorkacheln mit verschiedenen Anteilen an Granulatbindern verwendet. In physikalischen, optischen, chemischen und mechanischen Untersuchungen wurde die Maxmimalmenge, die hinzugegeben werden kann, bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein Anteil von 80 wt.-% Marmorstaub und 20 wt.-% Granulat die besten Eigenschaften bewirkt.
