Abstract
The results of studies of granular materials from magnesia compositions are presented. To obtain the compositions, fillers of various origins were used: sawdust, wheat husk, rubber and cork crumbs, ash microsphere. The formulations of molding mixtures that ensure the production of granules by the method of pelletizing are determined. The factors of influence on the strength of granules at various stages of the technological process are revealed. Methods for reducing the density of magnesia granular materials by combining various types of fillers and introducing a gas-forming agent are proposed. The use of caustic magnesite ensures reliable bonding of the filler particles in the granules. Features of hydrate formation of magnesia binders allows the use of low-temperature processing of raw granules. The expediency of increasing the temperature of the salt recluse to accelerate the hardening of the porous granules is shown. Magnesia granules with a bulk density of 400 – 500 kg/m3 were obtained. The work is aimed at creating a resource-saving technology of non-annealed granular aggregates for light concrete
