Resumen
El retorno del hormigón fresco a la planta de elaboración es un problema económico y medioambiental. Aproximadamente el 2% de la producción de hormigón regresa a la planta y, en la mayoría de los casos, se elimina en gran medida como material de desecho. La producción de bloques, agregados triturados o la separación de sus componentes son algunas de las alternativas informadas para su reciclado. Recientemente se desarrolló una nueva tecnología basada en una adición en polvo de dos componentes que permite que el hormigón fresco se convierta fácilmente en un agregado artificial que puede reincorporarse a la producción de hormigón. En este trabajo se estudiaron las propiedades de los agregados pelletizados (AP) obtenidos a partir de dos formulaciones de hormigón con diferente tamaño máximo nominal de agregados naturales (AN). Asimismo, se evaluaron mezclas de hormigón que tuvieron diferentes niveles de reemplazo de AN por AP en su dosificación. En las formulaciones con sustitución parcial de AN por AP se observó una reducción de alrededor del 20% en la resistencia a la compresión respecto a la muestra control, incluso para porcentajes de sustitución muy elevados (60%). A pesar de la disminución, los hormigones basados en AP cumplen en todos los casos con los requisitos de resistencia y permiten revalorizar un residuo de la industria y cuidar el medio ambiente.
Returned fresh mix concrete to the processing plant is an economic and environmental problem. About 2% of concrete production returns to the plant and, in most cases, is largely disposed of as waste material. The production of blocks, crushed aggregates or the separation of their main components are some of the alternatives reported for recycling. Recently, a new technology based on two-component powder additive has been developed, allowing the fresh returned concrete to be easily converted into an artificial aggregate, which can be incorporated into the production of concrete. In this paper, the properties of pelletized aggregates (AP) obtained from two concrete formulations with different maximum nominal natural aggregate size (AN) were studied. Also, concrete mixtures that had different levels of replacement of AN by AP in the formulation were evaluated. In the formulations with partial replacement of AN by AP, a 20% reduction in the compressive strength was observed compared to the control sample, even for very high percentages of substitution (60%). Despite the decrease, AP-based concretes comply in all cases with the resistance requirements and allow to revalue an industrial waste and take care of the environment.
