Decontamination and Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material Using Existing Infrastructure for the Manufacture of Lightweight Aggregate
نویسندگان
چکیده
JCI/UPCYCLE Associates' technological and commercial approach focuses on the utilization of dredged material as a feedstock in the manufacture of a value added building material, lightweight aggregate (LWA). Our approach, based on proven unit operations, is capable of yielding an "upcycled" product with a demonstrated market demand. Key to the success of the approach is the incorporation of existing infrastructure and capital assets. Beneficial reuse and thermal decontamination are accomplished employing a high temperature rotary kiln process traditionally used in the LWA manufacturing process at a plant that has been in continuous operation in the State of New York since the mid-1950's.

Nowadays, the better performance of lightweight structures during earthquake has resulted in using lightweight concrete more than ever. However, determining the compressive strength of concrete used in these structures during their service through a none-destructive test is a popular and useful method. One of the main methods of non-destructive testing in the assessment of compressive strength...

Lightweight Aggregate Made from Dredged Material in Green Roof Construction for Stormwater Management
More than 1.15 million cubic meters (1.5 million cubic yards) of sediment require annual removal from harbors and ports along Ohio's Lake Erie coast. Disposing of these materials into landfills depletes land resources, while open water placement of these materials deteriorates water quality. There are more than 14,000 acres of revitalizing brownfields in Cleveland, U.S., many containing up to 9...
