Abstract
Shales , clays , and loess in Iowa were tested and evaluated to determine
feasibility of producing lightweight aggregate by commercial rotary - kiln or
sintering methods . Preliminary testing was conducted in a muffle furnace .
Rotary - kiln tests were conducted in a 16 - inch by 14 - foot rotary kiln . Concrete
cylinders and cubes were tested to determine qualities of the aggregate .
Three samples made suitable lightweight aggregate by rotary - kiln methods
and two by sintering .
