Members of the SICon research group participate in the publication of an article in the “Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management” in collaboration with researchers from the Dept. of Forest Engineering and Dept. of Chemistry, both at UFV, and ICIAG at UFU.
The article is entitled: “Dregs and grits from kraft pulp mills incorporated to Portland cement clinker” and is featured in volume 22 of the January 2020 Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management.
The authors of the article are: Caio Moreira Miquelino Eleto Torres, Claudio Mudadu Silva, Leonardo Gonçalves Pedroti, Wellington Emilio Hilarino Fernandes, Fabiane Carvalho Ballotin and Antonio José Vinha Zanuncio. The group is composed of researchers from the educational institutions Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), the Departments of Forestry, Civil Engineering and Chemistry, and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU).
The objective of the present study was to investigate the technical viability for cement production by mixing with clinker 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 wt% of alkaline dregs and grits, normally disposed of in landfills.The full abstract and other information about the paper can be found at the link below:
