| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to evaluate different lightweight concretes for the first time formulated with lightweight expanded aggregates produced only with industrial waste. The motive is that a lack of knowledge still exists in the literature about how to integrate these waste-based aggregates in lightweight concrete. To achieve the desired bloating and aggregates physical properties, PC-TV screen glass and ceramic tile polishing sludge were selected as suitable raw materials. Both were characterized by mineralogical and chemical analyses and the effect of different combinations was pointed out. Hot-stage microscopy was used to determine the bloating rates and firing behavior. Lightweight expanded aggregates were obtained using both static laboratory kiln and rotating pilot kiln, by firing at maximum temperatures between 1150 and 1200 degrees C, to simulate the industrial production process and favor scaling up. The so obtained aggregates were characterized from the physical-mechanical point of view, highlighting an important bloating attitude and bulk density lower than 700 kg/m(3) for all the test conditions. Bulk density, water absorption and mechanical properties are fully comparable to commercial counterparts. The best material was used as coarse aggregate in lightweight structural concrete and cellular concrete prepared at pilot scale (for structural application and thermal/acoustic insulation, respectively). The technical properties are consistent with standard requirements of compressive strength (>25 MPa for lightweight structural concrete) and thermal conductivity (18-24 W/m*K for cellular concrete). These results demonstrate the technological feasibility of using waste-based aggregates into lightweight concrete design, according to a circular economy vision. |
