Resource Saving in the Technology of Composite Building Materials

In conditions of increasing demand for natural raw materials, the problem of integrated use of all extracted raw materials and environmental protection is of paramount importance and is becoming more acute every year. In the coal-industrial regions of any country, huge reserves of mine rocks and ash and slag waste are concentrated in dumps. Significant amounts of money are spent on storing waste, and areas of farmland are taken away. Waste from the fuel and energy complex poses a serious threat to the environment of our planet. This problem needs to be solved. Scientists all over the world are conducting research in this direction. The use of burnt mine rocks and ash and slag waste in the construction materials industry is a strategic way to expand the raw material base of this industry and solve environmental problems to improve the state of the environment in areas where thermal power plants operate and in regions with a developed coal industry. This book presents the results of many years of research on the use of burnt mine rocks and ash and slag waste in the technology of building materials. The results of the use of technogenic raw materials in the technology of building materials of a wide range are presented. The positive effect of this raw material on the physical and mechanical properties and quality of the resulting product has been confirmed. This is confirmed by the practice of using products using technogenic raw materials-burnt rocks from mine dumps of ash and slag materials. Products with high consumer properties at a relatively low cost can win the competition. The use of coal mining and combustion waste-mine rocks and ash and slag waste-will help improve product quality and reduce costs for the production of building materials.
