Abstract
This article presents the results of experimental studies on the involvement in the processing of used filters from ash and slag waste used in the refining of primary aluminum as a filler in the production of concrete for building products. The research was carried out within the framework of grant funding from the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the competition «Zhas Galym» under the project IRN AR19175493 «Development of technology for refining primary aluminum with filters with an active surface». The recycling of used grain filters was carried out in three stages: preliminary processing of filter grains to remove aluminum scrap; metallurgical processing of separated aluminum scrap by remelting in an induction crucible furnace and refining using complex technology described by the authors in the work; obtaining a concrete mixture based on crushed waste filter grains, quartz sand and bauxite sludge, screenings from crushing rocks with a fraction of 20–30 mm and Portland cement to obtain samples of construction products. According to the test results, the tensile strength of concrete samples of building products is 20.89–37.75 MPa, depending on the content of Portland cement (from 20 to 40 %) and corresponds to the class of heavy concrete. Keywords: aluminum, granular filter, ash, waste, recycling.
