SEPARATION AND COLLECTION OF COARSE AGGREGATE FROM WASTE CONCRETE BY ELECTRIC PULSED POWER
Abstract eng: Waste concrete accounts for a substantial fraction of construction waste, and the recycling of waste concrete as concrete aggregate for construction is an important challenge associated with the rapid increase in the amount of waste concrete and the tight supply of natural aggregate. In this study, we propose a technique based on the use of high-voltage pulsed discharge and underwater pulsed electric discharge for separating and collecting aggregate from waste concrete with minimal deterioration of quality. By using this technique, the quality of the coarse aggregate separated and collected from concrete test specimens is comparable to that of coarse aggregate recycled by heating and grinding methods, thus satisfying the criteria in JIS A 5021 for the oven-dry density and the water absorption of coarse aggregate by advanced recycling.
