Abstract

Possible methods of dust, sand and gravel waste involvement during tuff mining for production of modern thermal-insulating construction materials using energy-efficient  technologies are presented. The possibility of using the valuable properties of these wastes for the production of modern competitive materials and products, particularly clinkerless binders, artificial porous fillers, foam concrete, etc is described. The volcanic rocks, which have a glass-like structure, i.e. easily modified, give the system sufficient energy potential, which is accumulated in the rock, allowing work to be performed through chemical reaction. The possibility of increasing rock reactivity both by mechanical (crushing, grinding) and chemical methods (creation of basic, sulfate environments) is presented.

It has been theoretically substantiated and practically confirmed that by using the waste materials it is possible to obtain artificial construction conglomerates of various structures using resource-saving technologies and the activities of rocks endowed with nature. The composition of concrete with a cellular structure has been developed and its physical and mechanical characteristics have been brought forth.
