摘要：The technological performance and environmental advantages of replacing sand by ornamental stone processing waste (OSPW) in the production of mortars for civil construction were studied. Technological properties associated with the standard consistency index, squeeze flow and bulk densities as well as the determination of water retention and calorimetry analysis were evaluated in the mortars’ fresh state, whereas capillarity tests as well as mechanical resistance by flexural and compression tests were determined in the hardened state for mortars incorporated with 10, 30 and 60 wt.% of OSPW substituting sand. Three different types of Portland Cements were considered in the incorporated mortars production. For these mortars environmental analysis, their corresponding life cycle assessment results were compared to that of conventional waste-free (0% OSPW) control mortar. It was found that the OPSW incorporation acts as nucleation sites favoring a hydration process, which culminates after 28 days of curing in the formation of more stable phases identified as hydrated calcium silicates by X-ray diffraction (XRD) amorphous halo. It was also revealed that both flexural and compression improved resistance for the incorporated mortars after 28 curing days. In particular, the calorimetry and XRD results explained the better mechanical resistance (12 MPa) of the 30 wt.% OSPW incorporated mortar, hardened with Portland Cement V, compared not only to the control, but also to the other incorporated mortars. As for the environmental analysis, the replacement of sand by OSPW contributed to the reduction in associated impacts in the categories of land use (−5%); freshwater eutrophication (−9%); marine eutrophication (−6%) and global warming (−5%).
