Abstract
The current study focusses on possibilities of valorizing the spent Garnets produced by waterjet cutting operations, by integrating it in construction materials, as raw material substitution. The waterjet material processing by the use of abrasive Garnets is also in continuous expansion, due to its versatility and quality performance, this also generating large quantities of waste: the initial waterjet sludge collected in recipients during the process of material processes, dries and gradually turns into waste dumps, usually randomly deserted, especially in countries lacking specific legislation ad applicability methods. Therefore, converting the spent Garnets into filler replacement into concrete mixes could represent a huge benefit for both industries: constructions, lacking fillers, as sand replacement in concrete mix, possibly improving the material durability as well, and also material processing industry, by solving the waste generation problem. The initial, preliminary results, favorable to the use of spent Garnets in concrete and mortars, are confirmed by supplementary, international research, determining local interest for such valorization of the Garnet waste. This paper presents the latest research achievements in this topic and also, the derived possibilities regarding multidisciplinary studies which could determine the applicability of the waste in the construction industry, in Romania.
