Development of the material for solidification based on carbonation of waste materials
Mikulová, Mária ; Koplík, Jan (oponent) ; Másilko, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
The aim of this thesis was to create a material by solidification of waste materials from steel production. Ladle furnace slag (LFS) pre-treated by demetallization was used as a binder, Fe sludge and a mixture of slags and debris (MSD) coming from Třinecké železárny were used as fillers. The binding properties of LFS are the result of a high content of calcium silicates, which are able to react with CO2 and thus create carbonates, mainly calcite (CaCO3), which act as a binder – this process is called carbonation. Firstly, an effect of substitution of LFS by individual fillers on compressive strength of carbonated testing samples was examined. Based on these results, three solidified materials were proposed, of which compressive strength immediately after carbonation and after 28 days was observed. Leaching behaviour, weight gain of the samples after carbonation, their mineralogical composition, and carbon content were examined as well. Compressive strength of all three solidified materials raised above required 10 MPa after 28 days. Pure carbonated LFS was used and analysed as a reference sample.

Study of an alternative binder based on the carbonation of ladle funace slag
Mikulová, Mária ; Koplík, Jan (oponent) ; Másilko, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
This master’s thesis is focused on the investigation of the chemical processes during the carbonation of a ladle furnace slag (LFSU) and on the investigation of the long-term development of the composition and selected properties of carbonated compacts of LFSU. The main mineralogical phases of the LFSU, -dicalcium silicate (-C2S) and -dicalcium silicate (-C2S), were synthetised for the study. The carbonation reactivity of these phases was examined by perfusion calorimetry. A significantly higher reactivity with CO2 for -C2S was observed. The development of compressive strength, changes in weight and length, and changes in phase composition of carbonated compacts of LFSU in four different environments (distilled water, room temperature; 100% relative humidity, room temperature; 60% relative humidity, 25 °C; exterior) during one year after carbonation were studied. A tendency of compressive strength increase in the first six months after carbonation and a decrease in compressive strength after one year from carbonation was observed in all environments. The long-term increase in compressive strength was mainly caused by hydration of -C2S and mayenite. The decrease in compressive strength after one year could have been caused by hydration of MgO to Mg(OH)2. This, however, was not clearly proved.
