As the concept of environmental protection becomes more and more popular and sustainable development is in urgent need, it is particularly important to find and promote recyclable building materials. Terrazzo, as a beautiful and practical building material, is not only popular for its unique decorative effect, but also for its recyclable characteristics, becoming one of the representatives of green building materials.
Terrazzo is mainly made of crushed stone aggregates such as marble and granite mixed with cement or resin and other cementitious materials, and has extremely high physical strength and wear resistance. This material has a stable structure and is not easy to decompose, which provides a good basis for its recycling and reuse. During the production process, terrazzo can also be filled with discarded slag, waste glass and other materials, thereby reducing the consumption of natural resources. When terrazzo has been used for too long or is damaged, it can be remade into new terrazzo materials through steps such as crushing, screening, and mixing new aggregates and resins.
The recycling process of waste terrazzo mainly includes the following steps:
Crushing and screening: The waste terrazzo is crushed to form aggregates of a certain particle size. Subsequently, the aggregates are classified according to different particle sizes through screening equipment to meet different production needs.
Cleaning and drying: In order to remove impurities and moisture in the aggregate, the screened aggregates need to be cleaned and dried. This step helps to improve the quality of recycled terrazzo.
Mixing new aggregates and resins: The treated waste terrazzo aggregates are mixed with new aggregates, resins and other raw materials in a certain proportion to form a new terrazzo mixture.
Molding and curing: The mixture is poured into a mold, and after vibration compaction, curing and other processes, it is finally made into a new terrazzo board or product.
Recycled terrazzo materials are not inferior to original materials in performance, and even have advantages in some aspects, such as better impermeability and wear resistance. This not only helps to reduce the generation of construction waste and reduce the pressure on the exploitation of natural resources, but also conforms to the concept of sustainable development. By recycling waste terrazzo materials, energy consumption and carbon emissions can be reduced, contributing to environmental protection.
