This study was conducted to find a way to reduce the production of cakes generated in the domestic aggregate production process. Cakes from 8 wet aggregate producers were collected and particle size was analyzed. Samples were collected step by step from an aggregate producer A, particle size analysis was performed, and the material balance was calculated before and after an sand recovery unit by modeling the production process. As a result of the particle size analysis of eight cakes, one sample contained 50% sand, and the rest contained about 5% to 25% sand. The results showing that the cake contained a variety of sand in cakes may indicate that the recovery efficiency of the sand recovery units in the field varied. Sieve analysis of the samples showed that the generation of sand particles increased 2.8 times during the third crushing compared to the second crushing, and more cake particles were generated. As a result of simulating the sand recovery unit model, the lower the cut point of the cyclone and dewatering screen, the higher the sand production and the less cake production appeared. In order to reduce the production of cake in the field, it was determined that an optimal operation of the sand recovery unit was necessary in the aggregate production process.

본 연구는 국내 골재 생산 과정에서 발생하는 케이크의 발생을 줄이는 방안을 찾고자 수행되었다. 8개 습식 골재 생산 업체의 케이크를 수집하여 입도를 분석하였다. A 골재 생산 현장에서 시료를 채취하고 입도 분석을 수행했다. 생산 공정을 모델링하여 모래 회수 장치 전후에서 물질 수지를 계산했다. 8개의 케이크 입도 분석 결과 하나의 시료에서 모래가 50% 포함된 사례도 있었고 나머지는 약 5~25% 포함하고 있었다. 케이크 내 다양한 모래가 포함하고 있다는 결과는 현장의 모래 회수 장치의 회수 효율이 다양함을 의미할 수 있다. A 업체 파쇄 공정에서 모래 입도는 2차 파쇄 때보다 3차 파쇄 때에 2.8배 증가했고 케이크 입자도 더 많이 발생했다. 모래 회수 공정을 모사한 결과 사이클론 및 탈수체의 분극점이 낮아질수록 모래 생산은 증가했고 케이크 발생은 적어지는 추세가 나타났다. 현장에서 케이크의 발생을 줄이기 위해서 골재생산 공정에서 특히 모래 회수 장치의 적정 운전이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
