Abstract
The recovery of metallurgical waste in the production of building materials is a high-value axis in the global policy of sustainable development. It protects the environment from the depletion of natural aggregates and removes hazardous industrial waste. This work is an experimental study aimed at evaluating the recycling of scale in concrete development. Scale is metallurgical waste extracted by mechanical descaling hot-rolled steels in wire drawing and reinforcement forming plants. It is a hazardous pollutant, collected by dust collection systems and transferred without treatment to public landfills. By taking into account its iron-rich composition and fine particle size, recycling the scale in the manufacture of concrete is an action of great economic and environmental value. In this experimental investigation, the Scale (SC) will be reused in an industrial formulation of ordinary concrete class S4 at different percentages (10-20-30 and 40%) as a Dune Sand substitute (DS). The physical and mechanical properties of fresh concrete (fineness-maneuverability-density test) and hardened concrete (compressive strength at different ages (3-7-14 and 28 days) are studied. The experimental tests have demonstrated the possibility of producing concrete with very good mechanical and physical characteristics while substituting part of the Sand Dune (DS) with the waste generated by the metallurgy plants (Mill scale).
