Production of Lightweight Aggregates for Construction
The production of aggregates from various industrial byproducts mainly undergoes the basic steps such as mixing of raw materials, agglomeration and binding or hardening of the fly as particles (Bijen 1986). Agglomeration means fine particles are joined together and form a colloidal system, which can be simply broken by mechanical forces.
