Characteristics of Artificial Lightweight Aggregate by using Magnetic Separated Desulfurized Fly Ash and Dredged Soil

摘要

This research concerns the characteristics of ALA made of magnetically separated desulfurized fly ash (DFA) generated from the coal power plant having fluidized bed type boiler. Being believed that these alkali-rich components could be separated by magnetic separation, desulfurized fly ash was separated by using 10,000 Gauss magnets as magnetic desulfurized fly ash (MDFA) and non-magnetic desulfurized fly ash (DFA). The dependence of composition and sintering temperature on physical property of ALA was studied. It seems to be apparent that the glass phase which is one of the main problems in the ALA manufacturing process could not be controlled by the magnetic separation only, but the formation of pores could be considerably controlled by the magnetic separation. It is also clear that neither DFA nor MDFA can be used as raw materials for making ALA; however, magnetic separation of desulfurized fly ash from fluidized bed type boiler is effective to collect bloating components for self-bloating of ALA without addition of an extra bloating agent.
