Download or read book Preparation of Clay Brick Using Coal Waste written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of coal waste produced during the development of a mine was accumulated around the mine, which caused many problems such as traffic, acid mine drainage and damage of forest and scenery. Carbon in the coal waste helps calcination of the brick even at low temperature. Considering the reuse of natural waste and energy saving, clay brick was prepared using coal waste under various conditions, including particle size, amount of coal waste mixed, calcination temperature and pressing pressure. The specimens were characterized by XRD, SEM and TG-DTA and interpreted in terms of water absorption and compressive strength.
Download or read book PREPARATIONS OF BRICKS USING MINE WASTE written by Ranjeet Kumar Singh and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of preparing bricks using mine waste involves mixing the waste materials, such as fly ash and bottom ash, with clay and other binding agents to create a homogeneous mixture. The mixture is then pressed into molds and allowed to dry and harden. The resulting bricks have several advantages, including lower costs, reduced environmental impact, and improved structural properties. The use of mine waste in brick making also helps to reduce the volume of waste produced by mining operations, making it a more sustainable practice. This process has the potential to make a significant contribution to sustainable construction and waste management practices. The use of mine waste in brick making has gained increasing attention in recent years due to the increasing demand for sustainable construction materials and the need for effective waste management practices. The mining industry generates a significant amount of waste materials, such as fly ash and bottom ash, which are often disposed of in landfills or ponds. However, these waste materials have the potential to be used as raw materials for brick making. The process of preparing bricks using mine waste involves several steps. The waste materials are first collected and transported to the brick manufacturing site. The waste materials are then mixed with clay and other binding agents to form a homogeneous mixture. The proportion of mine waste to other ingredients in the mixture may vary depending on the quality and quantity of the waste material. Once the mixture is prepared, it is then pressed into molds using hydraulic or manual presses. The molded mixture is then allowed to dry and harden, either through air drying or by using a kiln. The resulting bricks are then ready for use in construction.

Download or read book Eco efficient Masonry Bricks and Blocks written by Fernando Pacheco-Torgal and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry walls constitute the interface between the building's interior and the outdoor environment. Masonry walls are traditionally composed of fired-clay bricks (solid or perforated) or blocks (concrete or earth-based), but in the past (and even in the present) they were often associated as needing an extra special thermal and acoustical insulation layer. However, over more recent years investigations on thermal and acoustical features has led to the development of new improved bricks and blocks that no longer need these insulation layers. Traditional masonry units (fired-clay bricks, concrete or earth-based blocks) that don't offer improved performance in terms of thermal and acoustical insulation are a symbol of a low-technology past, that are far removed from the demands of sustainable construction.This book provides an up-to-date state-of-the-art review on the eco-efficiency of masonry units, particular emphasis is placed on the design, properties, performance, durability and LCA of these materials. Since masonry units are also an excellent way to reuse bulk industrial waste the book will be important in the context of the Revised Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC which states that the minimum reuse and recycling targets for construction and demolition waste (CDW) should be at least 70% by 2020. On the 9th of March 2011 the European Union approved the Regulation (EU) 305/2011, known as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and it will be enforced after the 1st of July 2013. The future commercialization of construction materials in Europe makes their environmental assessment mandatory meaning that more information related to the environmental performance of building materials is much needed. - Provides an authoritative guide to the eco-efficiency of masonry units - Examines the reuse of waste materials - Covers a range of materials including, clay, cement, earth and pumice

Download or read book The Hierarchy of Energy in Architecture written by Ravi Srinivasan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The laws of thermodynamics—and their implications for architecture—have not been fully integrated into architectural design. Architecture and building science too often remain constrained by linear concepts and methodologies regarding energy that occlude significant quantities and qualities of energy. The Hierarchy of Energy in Architecture addresses this situation by providing a clear overview of what energy is and what architects can do with it. Building on the emergy method pioneered by systems ecologist Howard T. Odum, the authors situate the energy practices of architecture within the hierarchies of energy and the thermodynamics of the large, non-equilibrium, non-linear energy systems that drive buildings, cities, the planet and universe. Part of the PocketArchitecture series, the book is divided into a fundamentals section, which introduces key topics and the emergy methodology, and an applications section, which features case studies applying emergy to various architectural systems. The book provides a concise but rigorous exposure to the system boundaries of the energy systems related to buildings and as such will appeal to professional architects and architecture students.
