Methodology for the Design of Lightweight Concrete with Expanded Clay Aggregates

The Masonry Society Journal, 2005
The increasing use in Portugal of masonry blocks composed of lightweight concrete with expanded clay aggregates emphases the need to optimize the mix design in order to achieve desired concrete properties. To date, the research on these lightweight concretes has been of limited value because the specificities of their production with vibrant-compressor

Chemisorption of hydrogen sulphide and methanethiol by light expanded clay aggregates (Leca)

Chemosphere, 2013
Removal of volatile sulphur compounds from livestock waste air by biological air filtration may be enhanced by application of packing materials with reactive properties. In this study, light expanded clay aggregates (Leca) was tested with respect to sorption and potential chemical degradation of H2S, Methanethiol (MT) and Dimethyl sulphide (DMS).

Lightweight expanded clay aggregate as a building material – An overview

Construction and Building Materials, 2018
Abstract LECA is the abbreviation of lightweight expanded clay aggregate. LECA is produced from special plastic clay with no or very little content of lime. The clay is dried, heated and burned in rotary kilns at 1100–1300 °C. LECA is porous ceramic product with a uniform pore structure with almost potato shape or round shape due to the kiln circular

A preliminary research on the properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate

2019
In the present study, lightweight expanded clay aggregates were produced from clay, waste brick powders, albite floatation waste, and coal at various temperatures ranged from 900 °C to 1250 °C. After the production, the physical and microstructural properties of the aggregates were determined.

The Study of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate from Industrial Waste

Chiang Mai Journal of Science
This study aims to investigate the utilization of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) produced by combining clay with industrial waste as a planting material for soil moisture retenti on. Lightweight expanded clay aggregate is a growing media material composed of clay pellets subjected to high temperatures. This substance is created by combining

Application of coalcontaining waste in production of brick and expanded clay aggregate

1995
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the application of coal containing waste in the production of brick and expanded clay aggregate. The building materials of high quality are obtained from raw material mixtures on the basis of waste. The ash residua of the rock high-carbonous fractions burning can be successfully used in the production of ...
