Analysis and desing of a

production process of
concrete polymeric from
recycling pet

Objectives
Discuss other applications of recycled pet
Analyze and compare the characteristic of concrete
polymeric compared to commercial
Establish the desing basis of the grinding equipmenrt
used in the production of the concrete polymeric
Select and desing the grinding equipment used in the
production of concrete polymeric

Concrete

The concrete is a composite material consisting of coarse particles

immersed granular material ( mineral filled or aggregates) in a hard
matrix material (cement or binder) that fills the empty spaces
between the particles and keeping them together.

Portland Concrete
The

portland concrete is a material obtained by

mixing in suitable proportions and at a high
grinding fineness raw materials limestone and
clay (crude), wich initially heated to give rise to
fusion clinker (about 1450 C to give gray clinker)

Polymeric concrete

The polymeric concrete is a plastic material composed of a

resin, polyester and mineral agregates (sand, quartz,
carbonates, silicas) in different types of particle sizes.

Advantages and disadvantage of

polymeric concrete
advantage

Disadvantage

Specific gravity low

Low moisture absorption. Less than

1% (ASTMD570)

High mechanical strength

More expensive

High chemical resistance to acids

Impact resistant (ASTMD2444)
Environment-friendly material
Heat durability and high resistance to
UV radiation
Good capacity for damping vibrations

uses
Because the polymeric concrete properties, this have multiple
applications in our days:
Production of precast ppoducts for drainage and sewerage system
on bridges.
Production channels, ducts drainage and sewer records of industrial
tanks
Tanks for industrial production of non-ferrous materials electrolysis
Production records and drainage channels of aggressive industrial
wastewater, and storage tanks for corrosives (acids and bases).
Hish chemical resistance coatings in pipelines.

Milling

The milling is a unit operation, which reduces the average

volume of the particles of a solid sample. The reduction is
carried out by dividing or splitting the sample by
mechanical means to desired size.

For the selection of milling equipment is considered:

Hardness of the material feeding
Particle size

Ball Mill

Criteria for the desing of ball mills

Consider:
Fineness of the material to be sprayed (sizes of the grinding
balls)
Material hardness
Plant size [TON/ year]
Mill capacity [ TON/ Day]
Mill production [ TON/ hr]
Power output of the mill[KW]

Sizing mill

Expression of dawn for sizing mill

KW net= 0.284 DAWN
D = Is the diameter of the mill, in the packed(m).
A = Is (1.073 - J); J = Is the percentage of the mill volume loading
W = Is the weight of the ball in tons
N = Is the mill speed in rpm.
D=1.37m. Between plak
L =3.2195 m.
N=27.04 RPM
KW net =49.66 KW net is the net energy consumed in the mill.

Filling the mill

The optimal filling of the mills must be such that h = 0.16D

For our case

D = 1.37 m.
h= 0.16 x 1.37 = 0.21 m

% degree of filling= 0.29 x 100= 29 %

conclusions

The objetives proposed were met because the process of

obtaining concrete polymeric was analyzed and design is
selected and a mill for the production industry em.
Comparative results are finally obtained between concrete
base and concrete polymeric
