AB  - The objective of this study was to investigate the clay drying as a unit operation in the refractory materials processing. Two clays that varied in chemical and mineralogical compositions were experimentally tested in a laboratory dryer. The results obtained on the green samples prior to drying indicated that clays have adequate plasticity and refractoriness for application in shaped refractories. The operating parameters of the dryer were regulated: temperature ranged from 40 to 60 degrees C, humidity increased in the interval 30-70%; and the airstream rate was 1.3 m/s. The correlation analysis between operating parameters and calculated and/or measured drying outputs was conducted for better comprehension of the clay's role as a refractory binder. Subsequently, a mathematical optimization of the drying regime was conveyed. The effect of the variables (operation parameters) on the drying parameters (critical moisture, equilibrium moisture, dryness degree, etc.) was compared and evaluated. The response surface method, standard score analysis, cluster method, and principal component analysis were used as a means of the drying regime optimization. Assessment of the drying regime impact on the dried samples quality highlighted optimal result for both clay types: SS=0.95, temperature 50 degrees C, and humidity 40%. Multiple comparison analyses pointed out that optimized combination of the drying operation parameters decreases the quantity of conducted tests. Furthermore, optimal combination of drying parameters reduces negative effects of clay binder inherent properties on the resulting product which in return improves energetic and economic sustainability of refractories production.

AB  - The effect of the application of pelletized fly ash based aggregates obtained through different processing techniques on the behavior of lightweight concretes was analyzed. Experimental program implied production of four lightweight artificial aggregates-cold bonded and sintered pellets based on either mechanically activated or non-activated low-calcium fly ash and water glass. The lightweight concrete behavior was compared to that of normal-weight concrete through compressive strength, flexural strength, porosity, shrinkage, and modulus of elasticity investigation. Differences in concretes characteristics were discussed with SEM imagining support. The statistical analysis of lightweight aggregate and ash properties contribution on concrete performances was realized by analysis variance model (ANOVA). Optimal production combination that maximizes lightweight concrete performance was determined by employing response surface methodology. An increase in concrete strength induced by the increase in ash fineness was noticed. Mechanical activation also had effect on the pellets sintering period and sintering temperature reduction. The 28- and 56-day lightweight concrete specimens exhibited properties that met the requirements for normal-weight concretes. Finally, the ideal combinations of ash pellets production parameters and properties that gave the lightweight concrete with behavior matching to that of standard concrete were established. The production capability of lightweight concrete with advanced performances based on artificial aggregate approves the principle of waste material reusing and enables cleaner and economically sustainable concrete manufacturing procedure.

AB  - The aim of this investigation was to establish the optimal processing parameters of the comminuted phosphate grain mixture mechanical treatment by monitoring and evaluating the activated product characteristics. An ultra-centrifugal mill with a peripheral comminuting path was used as activator in the experiment. A mathematical model based on the theoretical principles of the grain mixture mechanical processing was applied in order to characterize the phosphate activation procedure. As the energy conversion that takes place by the interaction mill-material during activation is recorded on the processed phosphate grains, the increase in potential energy of the activated grains was measured by means of an automatic grain counter. Following the operating hypothesis of the automatic grain counter, the energy conversion and the properties of phosphate grains induced by mechanical force were monitored and expressed in the form of the grain inertia change. The phosphate ore grain mixture used in the experiment was thoroughly analyzed, particularly in its activated state. Analytically obtained results were supported by X-ray diffraction analysis for identification of crystalline phases and change in crystallinity, and SEM microphotography of initial and activated phosphate grains. Diverse comparison analyses disclosed that the optimal set of activation process parameters could reduce the negative effect of phosphate sample immanent properties on the final score and furthermore enhance the material reactivity.
