Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the use of water plant sludge and cement wastes in the production of the CMA deicer. Experiments were conducted in a temperature controlled test chamber, to determine melting rates and ice penetration characteristics of these deicers at two sub‐zero temperatures. The freezer section of the refrigerator was modified and equipped with a temperature control mechanism to meet this objective. Ice melting was examined in terms of brine generated per gram of de‐icer powder. Penetration depths were read off directly from the vertical ice columns of the test apparatus. Results indicate a high potential for the use of these wastes as low‐cost raw materials for the production of the deicer.
