The wastes generated by the recent
industrial developments threaten the future of the world. Therefore, researches
on the recycling of the industrial wastes in various ways are increasing day by
day. In this study, glass powder, a waste of glass industry, colemanite ore
waste, a by-product of boron industry and filter cake, one of the wastes of
sugar factories, were used. The evaluation of these wastes in gypsum and lime-based
mortars, which have been widely used for centuries, has been investigated. In
this study, 10, 20 and 30% of the waste materials were used instead of gypsum. Unit
weights, ultrasonic pulse velocities, apparent porosities and thermal
conductivity coefficients of the gypsum-lime based mortars were determined.
Compressive strength and bending strength tests were performed to determine the
mechanical properties. In this way, it is aimed to protect the natural raw
materials and to evaluate the waste materials.
