Abstract
A promising environmentally friendly method for processing municipal solid waste is pyrolysis. Pyrolysis allows obtaining a combination of solid, liquid and gaseous products in various proportions due to changes in process parameters. A promising area for the use of solid pyrolysis products is the production of various materials for industrial, civil and road construction. There are some known methods for producing cement, concrete and foam glass with improved properties on pyrolysis basis. In modern building technologies, ceramic materials are widely used. Their production requires various expensive additives such as quartz sand, dolomite, coal, coal mining rocks, etc. Thus, it seems relevant to use the residue of the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste as a free of charge structure-forming additive for the production of ceramic material. To determine the scope of the material application and to perform subsequent thermotechnical calculations, the data on its thermophysical characteristics is required. To determine the thermophysical characteristics of the ceramic material, the experimental method of the cylindrical layer and the calculation-experimental method of inverse heat conduction problem are used. The experimental studies of thermophysical properties of the new ceramic material have allowed obtaining the dependence of the average specific heat capacity and thermal diffusivity of the ceramic material on temperatures in the range of 30–90 оС, and the coefficient of thermal conductivity on the temperatures in the range of 30–500 оС. These characteristics enable to perform calculations of thermal processes that occur in the material during its industrial use. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material varies from 0,3 to 0,65 W/m×K, thermal diffusivity varies within (1,8–2,3)×10–7 m2/s, and the average specific heat capacity changes from 780 to 1300 J/kg×K, which is comparable with the thermophysical characteristics of known ceramic materials. It is advisable to use the pyrolysis residue of municipal solid waste as a free raw material instead of expensive additives to obtain ceramic material. It is recommended to use the new ceramic material in the production technology of building products for various purposes.
