Abstract

In this study, the correlation between cement quality(chemical composition, mineral composition, and compressive strength) and amount of waste alternative fuels used in the cement manufacturing process and was investigated. Cement manufacturing facility using coal, soft plastics(plastics that are easily scattered by wind power, such as vinyls), hard plastics(plastics that do not contain foreign substances, waste rubber, PP, etc.) and reclaimed oil was analised. Data was collected for 3 years from 2017 to 2019 and let the amount of fuels used as an independent variable and cement quality data as a dependent variable. As a result, depending on the type and quality of the alternative fuel has not a significant effect on the chemical composition(Cl and LSF) and mineral composition(f-CaO, C3S contents). Contrary to the concern that the compressive strength of cement would decrease, there was a significant positive correlation between amount of alternative fuel used and cement compressive strength.

본 연구에서는 시멘트 제조공정에서 연료로 사용된 가연성 산업부산물 및 생활폐기물 대체연료 사용량과 시멘트 품질 중에서도 화학성분, 광물조성, 압축강도간의 상관관계를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 천연연료로서 유연탄, 대체연료로서 연질 플라스틱류(비닐류 등 풍력에 의해 비산되기 쉬운 성질의 플라스틱류), 경질 플라스틱류(이물질이 혼입되거나, 폐고무, PP 등 풍력에 비산되지 않는 성질의 플라스틱류), 재생유를 사용하는 국내 A시멘트 제조사 소성설비의 2017~2019년 3년간의 연료투입량을 독립변수로 하고, 시멘트 품질 데이터를 종속변수로 하여 요인 회귀분석을 이용한 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 대체연료의 종류 및 품질에 따라서는 화학성분(염소 및 LSF) 및 광물조성(f-CaO, C3S량)에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 시멘트 압축강도를 저하할 것이라는 우려와는 달리 대체연료 사용량과 시멘트 압축강도간에 유의한 양의 상관관계가 성립하는 것으로 분석되었다.
