Sulphur Polymer Concrete From Hazardous Petroleum Wastes
Sulphur-modified concrete, developed from petroleum wastes, will be used in installing a new series of pipelines and manholes in the sewerage system here, as developers believe it will provide better and long-lasting concreting solutions.
The substance, called Sulphur Polymer Concrete (SPC), has been manufactured from recycled wastes and has been viewed as an inexpensive and durable solution for the construction industry. The invention has also offered a new technique in managing hazardous wastes, generated by oil refineries, said Dr Abdul Mohsin O. Mohammad, director of research at the UAE University (UAEU).The production of SPC does not emit carbon dioxide.
The scientists have used sulphur - a by-product of the oil industry - fly ash - a by-product from the cement industry - and sand from the abundant sand dunes and stone quarries in the UAE.Extensive test results indicated that the SPC material had high compressive strength, low hydraulic conductivity and high resistance to permeation of water, sulphuric acid and salt solutions.
