| Abstract Scope |
The ornamental stone industry is a strategic market of great importance for many countries, however, the lack of an adequate destination for the waste generated causes a great environmental impact. The objective of this work is to evaluate the rheology of mortars with the incorporation of granite and marble residues for coating application. Physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization tests were carried out of the materials used in the manufacture of the mortar and incorporated waste. The mortars were made with incorporations of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% with each one of the residues replacing the sand. Water retention and mechanical resistance tests were carried out, in addition to the Squeeze-flow test to evaluate the rheology. The results indicated that the marble residue improves both the mechanical strength and the rheology of mortars for application in coating. Granite residue improves mechanical strength, however, it presents lower rheology as granite incorporation increases. |
