Empleo de paneles compuestos por subproductos de centrales térmicas en fachadas trasdosadas

Abstract

Two new recycled gypsum boards are proposed which have a better environmental performance due to the fact that they are made of traditional materials and new recycled ones derived from biomass (waste generated during the extraction of olive pomace) and the coal combustion produced in power plants. Before using these wastes as raw materials, they have been submitted to chemical analysis and the panels made of them have been tested to prove their mechanical, thermal and fire performance. Subsequently, the new recycled panels have been implemented in a traditional facade solution to verify their functional and thermal feasibility. The results obtained show that the panels made of biomass ashes have a better mechanical and thermal performance than those made of coal ashes and that they can provide a sustainable alternative to the traditional facade materials due to the reduction of raw materials consumption and the elimination of industrial waste.
