DetailsThe study was planned in two groups. In the first group, river sand, raw perlite, and expanded perlite were used as aggregates. In the second group, raw perlite and expanded perlite were used as aggregates. Expanded perlite replacement rates in both groups were determined as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and .
DetailsCrude perlite expanded for use as a concrete aggregate ranges from 1 mm (plus 16 mesh) to 0.2 mm (plus 100 mesh). Ninety percent of the crude perlite ore expanded for horticultural uses is greater than 841 µm (20 mesh). Crude perlite is mined using open-pit methods and then is moved to the plant site, where it is stockpiled.

DetailsIn this study, both normal and lightweight coarse aggregates were used. The density and maximum size of the normal aggregate were 2.59 gr/cm 3 and 19 mm. As a lightweight aggregate, expanded Perlite was used (Fig. 1) with a density of 0.25 gr/cm 3.When the raw Perlite was exposed to high thermal shock, its Silica microstructures …
DetailsWhy Perlite Works. Genesis in Fire Rapidly heating perlite ore to temperatures of about 900°C (1,700°F) softens the volcanic glass causing entrapped water molecules in the rock to turn to steam and expand the particles like popcorn. The expanded particles that result are actually clusters of minute, lightweight, insulating, glass bubbles.
