Mechanical attrition grinding kinetics: SikaRecent Research Landscape

High-volume construction waste disposal incurs significant landfill costs and raw material procurement risks. These innovations utilize controlled grinding and mechanical separation to reclaim high-purity mineral aggregates for reuse.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Mechanical attrition grinding kinetics?

Waste aggregate contamination

(13)evidences

Residual cement paste and high porosity in recovered construction waste impair the structural integrity of new concrete. Removing or neutralizing these surface defects restores mechanical performance and reduces water absorption.

Poor mineral binder workability

(11)evidences

Recycled powders and ceramic precursors often suffer from high water demand and rapid stiffening. Improving flowability and handling time allows for consistent structural application.
