On the project

Beton je stále nejběžněji používaným stavebním materiálem. Hlavní složkou betonu je portlandský cement, který se vyrábí mletím portlandského slínku se sádrovcem. K cementu jsou z ekologických i ekonomických důvodu přidávány sekundární materiály jako např. struska. Z důvodu stále častějšího používání druhotných produktů obsahujících zinek se neustále zvyšuje obsah zinku ve slínku i v sekundárních surovinách. V portlandském slínku se obsah zinku zvyšuje především díky používání odpadů a pneumatik, které se používají jako palivo v rotačních pecích. V druhotných surovinách může být přítomen již v surovinách, ze kterých se prostřednictvím výrobního procesu dostává do druhotných surovin a následně do betonu. Největším problémem s cementem obsahujícím zinek je retardace hydratace a zhoršení mechanických vlastností. Hlavním cílem navrhovaného projektu je lépe popsat mechanismus působení zinku v cementu a najít vhodné cesty jak zabránit jeho negativním vlivům pomocí použití akcelerátorů hydratace na různé bázi.

Description in English
Concrete is still the most commonly used building material. The main component of concrete is Portland cement that is produced by grinding of clinker with gypsum. Thank to benefits from economic and ecological point of view the secondary raw materials like slag are also used. Due to increasing use of secondary products containing zinc, the amount of zinc in the clinker and secondary raw materials is increasing in recent years. Portland clinker can gain zinc from solid waste or tires which are widely used as a fuel for a burning in rotary kiln. In the case of secondary raw materials, zinc may be present in the primary material, where the manufacturing process leads to its removal and concentrating to "waste" which is used in the cement industry. The biggest problem with cement dopped with zinc is the retardation of hydration and decreasing of mechanical properties. The main aim of this project is better understanding to mechanism of action and design of different ways for prevention before potential negative effects of its action by hydration accelerators based on different bases.
