Resumo: | ABSTRACT The variety of sulfides (inorganic compounds formed by combining sulfur with a metal element) presented in earth crust is not small, which makes it difficult to avoid the use of sulfide-bearing aggregates in the concrete, especially in places where another source of material is non-existent or economically impracticable, as is the case of dams. Within this scenario, this work presents an evaluation of the long-term behavior of mortar produced with aggregates containing pyrite and pyrrhotite. For the study, rock samples from the Irapé Hydroelectric Power Plant area in Minas Gerais were used. This plant was built in a geological site where the rock presented sulfide levels of at least 3%. These rock samples were first ground and then used as aggregates in mortars, which were, during almost 1300 days, subjected to three different exposed conditions: 1-temperature of 23° ± 2°C and relative humidity of 95 to 100%; 2- submerged in calcium hydroxide solution diluted in water during almost 850 days and then kept in water up to 1300 days, both at room temperature; 3- submerged in calcium hydroxide solution diluted in water at 50° C during almost 850 days and then kept in water (50° C) up to 1300 days. The expansion caused by the iron sulfide oxidation as well as the content of each sulfide were evaluated over time. The presence and amount of pyrrhotite were obtained from a leaching process of the material (aggregate or mortar) in a solution of hydrochloric acid. This procedure allowed also the evaluation of the pyrite content over time. The results showed that the calcium hydroxide solution speeds up the expansion just like the temperature. It was also observed that the amount of pyrite has remained virtually constant over time in the three exposure situations. This finding indicates that sulfur limits in aggregates should be set according to the type of iron sulfide presented and not only by the total amount of sulfur. |
