ResumoEste trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o efeito da incorporação de cinza de resíduo sólido urbano nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas da cerâmica vermelha. Foram preparados corpos de prova por prensagem uniaxial a 20 MPa para queima a 750 °C, com incorporações de resíduo (70% de cinza de fundo e 30% de cinza volante) de até 20% em massa em argila caulinítica da região de Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ. As matérias-primas foram submetidas à análise química, mineralógica, física e morfológica. As propriedades físicas e mecânicas avaliadas nos corpos de prova foram: absorção de água, retração linear e tensão de ruptura à flexão. Os resultados sugerem a incorporação de quantidades em torno de 5% em massa de cinzas na argila para não prejudicar o comportamento mecânico da cerâmica, bem como evitar o aparecimento de porosidade aberta excessiva, podendo ser esta uma destinação final ambientalmente adequada para as cinzas de resíduo sólido urbano. Palavras-chave: cerâmica vermelha, cinzas, incorporação, propriedades, resíduos.
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) ash in the physical
The use of firewood ash waste for the production of electric porcelain can represent an important technological and environmental alternative for the final disposal of this abundant solid waste material. This work aims to study the effect of replacing of sodium feldspar (albite) for firewood ash waste in electrical siliceous porcelain formulation. The firewood ash waste was obtained from a ceramic plant located in southeastern Brazil (Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ). For this purpose, siliceous porcelain formulations containing up to 4.2 wt.% of firewood ash waste as a replacement for sodium feldspar were prepared. Disk specimens were pressed and fired at 1300 °C using a fast-firing cycle. The porcelain specimens were tested to determine their technical properties (linear shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density, tensile strength, and electrical resistivity). The results indicated that test specimens containing up to 4.2 wt.% of firewood ash waste have high potential for use as electrical siliceous porcelain material. Thus, an alternative use of firewood ash waste is proposed, which can be converted into economic gain and also contribute for the environmental sustainability.
