Castell\u00f3n, 21 de enero de 2021.- El Instituto de Tecnolog\u00eda Cer\u00e1mica (ITC)<\/strong> es la entidad coordinadora del proyecto europeo LIFE HYPOBRICK, que mantiene un compromiso con la investigaci\u00f3n de procesos que ayuden a la implantaci\u00f3n de los principios de la econom\u00eda circular, adem\u00e1s de luchar contra los efectos negativos del cambio clim\u00e1tico, causados por las emisiones de efecto invernadero. Por eso avanza en el desarrollo de LIFE HYPOBRICK, cofinanciado por el Programa LIFE (LIFE 18\/CCM\/ES\/001114)<\/strong> y con el apoyo del Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) de la Generalitat Valenciana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

En este caso, el consorcio formado por las empresas Ladrillos Mora, S.L.; Recycling, Consulting & Services, S.L. (RCS); Schlagmann Poroton GmbH & Co. y la Universidad de N\u00fcremberg (Technische Hochschule N\u00fcrnberg)<\/strong> se al\u00eda para contribuir a que la industria europea fabricante de ladrillos pueda impulsar, desde el punto de vista de la mitigaci\u00f3n del cambio clim\u00e1tico, su transici\u00f3n a una econom\u00eda hipocarb\u00f3nica, y eso porque se est\u00e1 trabajando para desarrollar ladrillos para la construcci\u00f3n partiendo de la reutilizaci\u00f3n de residuos procedentes de otros sectores, y adem\u00e1s, eliminando la etapa de cocci\u00f3n, que consume un 90% de la energ\u00eda empleada en todo el proceso de fabricaci\u00f3n. En su lugar, se est\u00e1 aplicando la novedosa tecnolog\u00eda conocida como activaci\u00f3n alcalina<\/strong>, curando los ladrillos a muy baja temperatura y reduciendo en un 90% la emisi\u00f3n de gases de efecto invernadero a la atm\u00f3sfera, concretamente, 184 toneladas, con respecto a las 1.000 toneladas que se prev\u00e9 fabricar en LIFE
\nHYPOBRICK, adem\u00e1s de ahorrar, igualmente con respecto a las 1.000 toneladas
\nfabricadas, unas 800 toneladas en consumo de materias primas como arcillas,
\nfundentes y cuarzo.
\nEstos nuevos ladrillos sostenibles se podr\u00edan replicar en un futuro a otros materiales como azulejos, tejas, tuber\u00edas, losas, y otros no cer\u00e1micos como el hormig\u00f3n y derivados.<\/p>\n

Y es que, seg\u00fan la Doctora M\u00f3nica Vicent, una de las investigadoras principales de este proyecto: \u201cEl proceso de cocci\u00f3n de estos materiales, en este caso, ladrillos, es la principal fuente de emisiones de di\u00f3xido de carbono a la atm\u00f3sfera. Hemos investigado para encontrar una soluci\u00f3n alternativa al proceso de cocci\u00f3n para consolidarlos y esta es la activaci\u00f3n alcalina. Los materiales activados alcalinamente, tambi\u00e9n conocidos como geopol\u00edmeros, son s\u00f3lidos inorg\u00e1nicos que forman redes tridimensionales con estructura molecular an\u00e1loga a la de los pol\u00edmeros org\u00e1nicos y con propiedades mec\u00e1nicas similares a las de los materiales cer\u00e1micos. La consolidaci\u00f3n del material se lleva a cabo mediante una reacci\u00f3n de polimerizaci\u00f3n a baja temperatura, menos de 200 \u00b0C, no siendo necesaria una etapa de cocci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, este proceso permite el uso de una gran variedad de residuos silicoaluminosos, lo que lo hace muy atractivo desde el punto de vista medioambiental. De modo que hemos avanzado preparando materiales activados alcalinamente, en los que hemos<\/em>
\nempleado exclusivamente residuos como fuente de s\u00edlice y al\u00famina.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A fin de ampliar la variedad de residuos susceptibles de ser utilizados, se han ensayado tanto residuos silicoaluminosos (activables) como otros no activables que se introducen como material de relleno. De este modo, seg\u00fan la Doctora M\u00f3nica Vicent, pretenden maximizar el uso de residuos que actualmente se est\u00e1n vertiendo: residuos del sector cer\u00e1mico (tiesto cocido), cenizas volantes de central termoel\u00e9ctrica, vidrios de diferentes procedencias (tubos de rayos cat\u00f3dicos, placas solares, etc.), pl\u00e1stico procedente de equipos el\u00e9ctricos y
\nelectr\u00f3nicos, residuos de construcci\u00f3n y demolici\u00f3n, etc.
\nLos an\u00e1lisis y caracterizaci\u00f3n de estos residuos, que se han sometido a ensayos como su densidad aparente, porosidad abierta, resistencia mec\u00e1nica, lixiviaci\u00f3n y microestructura, confirman que muchos de estos residuos seleccionados son adecuados para fabricar ladrillos caravista mediante activaci\u00f3n alcalina.<\/p>\n

Castell\u00f3n, 22 January 2021 – The Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC)<\/strong> is the coordinating body of the European LIFE HYPOBRICK project, which is committed toresearching processes that help to implement the principles of the circular economy, as well as fight against the negative effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
\nThis is why it is making progress in the development of LIFE HYPOBRICK, co-financed by the LIFE Programme (LIFE 18\/CCM\/ES\/001114)<\/strong> and with the support of the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) of the Generalitat Valenciana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case, the consortium formed by the companies Ladrillos Mora, S.L.; Recycling, Consulting & Services, S.L. (RCS); Schlagmann Poroton GmbH & Co. and the University of Nuremberg (Technische Hochschule N\u00fcrnberg<\/strong>) is joining forces to help the European brick industry to make the transition to a low-carbon economy in terms of climate change mitigation by working to develop building bricks by reusing waste from other sectors and eliminating the firing stage, which consumes 90% of the energy used in the entire manufacturing process. Instead, the new technology known as alkaline activation is being applied, curing the bricks at very low temperatures and reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by 90%, specifically 184 tonnes, compared to the 1,000 tonnes of bricks expected to be produced at LIFE HYPOBRICK, as well as saving, also compared to the 1,000 tonnes produced, some 860 tonnes in the consumption of raw materials such as clays, melting agents and quartz.
\nThese new sustainable bricks could be replicated in the future in other materials such as tiles, roof tiles, pipes, slabs, and other non-ceramic materials such as concrete and derivates.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. M\u00f3nica Vicent, one of the main researchers on this project, “the firing process of these materials, in this case bricks, is the main source of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. We have done research to find an alternative solution to the firing process to consolidate them and this is alkaline activation. Alkali-activated materials, also known as geopolymers, are inorganic solids that form three- dimensional networks with a molecular structure analogous to that of organic polymers and with mechanical properties similar to those of ceramic materials. The consolidation of the material is carried out by a polymerisation reaction at a low temperature of less than 200 \u00b0C, without the need for a firing stage. In addition, this process allows the use of a wide variety of aluminosilicate wastes, which makes it very attractive<\/em> from an environmental point of view. So, we have made progress in preparing alkali-activated materials, in which we have used only waste as a source of silica and alumina\u201d.<\/p>\n

In order to broaden the range of wastes that can be used, both aluminosilicates (activatable) and non-activatable wastes that are introduced as filler material havebeen tested. In this way, according to Dr. M\u00f3nica Vicent, they aim to maximise the use of waste that is currently being dumped: waste from the ceramics sector (fired scraps), fly ash from thermoelectric power plants, glass from different sources (cathode ray tubes, solar panels, etc.), plastic from electrical and electronic equipment, construction and demolition waste, etc.
\nThe analysis and characterisation of these wastes, which have been subjected to tests such as bulk density, open porosity, mechanical strength, leachability and microstructure, confirm that many of these selected wastes are suitable for the
\nmanufacture of facing bricks by alkaline activation.<\/p>\n
