Recycled PET Sand for Cementitious Mortar
Cementitious materials cause a great impact on the environment due to the calcination of clinker and the extraction of non-renewable mineral resources. In this work, the replacement of quartz sand from the river by PET sand was evaluated at levels of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Tests were performed in the fr...

description | Cementitious materials cause a great impact on the environment due to the calcination of clinker and the extraction of non-renewable mineral resources. In this work, the replacement of quartz sand from the river by PET sand was evaluated at levels of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Tests were performed in the fresh state through consistency, air retention, density, and incorporated air and in the hardened state for compressive strength, flexural strength, density, capillarity, and water absorption. The results show that PET sand is viable in contents of up to 10%, improving the mechanical properties of the mortar and without compromising its workability and incorporated air properties. Above that level, the loss of properties is very excessive, mainly of workability and incorporated air. The incorporated air of the 30% composition, for example, reaches 24%, an excessive value that impacts the properties of the hardened state, making it impossible to use the material at levels greater than 20%. It is concluded that the use of recycled PET sand is a possibility that contributes to sustainable development, as it reduces the extraction of quartz sand from the river, a non-renewable mineral resource. |
