Mortar composite based on wet oxidative degraded cellulosic spinney waste fibers
Saleh, H.M.; Eskander, S.B. & Fahmy, H.M.
Abstract
Textile industry has become an essential part of
modern society, andwaste production is an inevitable outcome
of the developmental activities. Present paper outlines a direct
approach toward a real problem of managing spinney waste
fibers generated during textile industry. Simultaneously,
shortage in landfill disposal space is another trouble associated
with dumping of these hazardous wastes. Direct incorporation
of these wastes into cementitious materials faces some disadvantages,
so a partial oxidative degradation treatment was
performed for those wastes in laboratory-scale experiments.
Slurry resulted from the degradation process was incorporated
into a mixture of cement/sand as hydrating agent to produce a
mortar composite. Mechanical integrity andweight stability of
the mortar composite produced were evaluated at the end of
setting and hardening period under different variables. Based
on the experimental results, the nominated mortar composite
could be considered as an added-value product suitable for
various applications, for example inert matrix for immobilization
of some lowand intermediate levels radioactive wastes,
decorative tiles, building bricks, light concrete.
