“…The compressive strength of the samples decreased as the concentration of LDPE increased in the clay matrix. This trend is similar to the findings of a earlier study and it implies that the ability of the samples to withstand direct pressure (load) is reducing as the LDPE concentration increases in the clay matrix [42].…”

This study fabricated and characterized a self-sustaining hydrogenous content clay-polyethylene composite opted for ionizing radiation shielding. Composites designated A–G were fabricated each containing 0–30 wt% of recycled low density polyethylene (LDPE), respectively. To know the effects of the incorporated LDPE on the morphology, microstructural, compressive strength, thermal property and displacement effect on the vital elements were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), universal mechanical testing machine, differential thermal analysis (DTA), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) technique and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), respectively. The bulk densities of the clay composites ranged between 1.341 and 2.030 g/cm3. The samples’ XRD analysis revealed similar patterns, with a sharp and prominent peak at angle 2θ equals ~26.11°, which matched with card number 16-0606 of the Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS) that represents Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide (Al2Si2O5(OH)4), a basic formula for Kaolin clay. The compressive strength ranged between 2.52 and 5.53 MPa. The ratio of Si to Al in each composite is about 1:1. The dehydroxylation temperature for samples ranged between 443.23 °C and 555.23 °C.

“…water from the material, used to shape the specimens; 44,45 there was a stabilization process at temperatures up to about 550°C, where there was a strong contraction with a steep slope, related to the transformation of kaolinite into metakaolinite with elimination of constitution water; 46 between 570°C and 600°C there was an allotropic change in quartz, in which the particles of the material expand, causing an expansion in the material's structure. 46,47 As it is possible to observe in this temperature range, two important events are verified: the formation of metakaolin and the transformation of quartz.…”

As a result of the economic crisis faced in Brazil, industries in the red ceramic sector have economic problems. The objective of this work was to evaluate, technologically and economically, through analysis of economy, the implementation of the production of ceramic tiles, a material with higher added value than bricks and ceramic blocks, in a ceramic industry located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The ceramic tiles were produced containing the incorporation of ornamental rock waste (ORW). The state has a region that has a red ceramic pole, but produces only products with lower added value. For this, specimens were produced with four different ceramic masses burned at temperatures in the range of 800 to 1050°C. Three masses were produced with different clays from the region (ceramic mass 1, 2 and 3) and a ceramic mass 4 was evaluated containing the clay that presented the best results and with the inclusion of sand and ORW, aiming at the analysis of economy. It was found that the masses containing only clays showed satisfactory parameters of resistance, but showed deficiencies in water absorption. The fourth mass, however, presented acceptable values in all the evaluated properties and was chosen to carry out a full‐scale industrial test, which enabled the development of economic analysis and an economic analysis using the theory of real options. The results obtained in this last stage were also positive, providing an internal rate of return of 16.82%, above the minimum practiced rate of 15%, proving the efficiency of the economy applied to the manufacture of extruded tiles in the industries of the study region.

“…Clay products such as ceramics wares, burnt bricks, and roofing and floor tiles are cheaper and durable building materials than cement especially under tropical conditions. They should therefore be utilized to reduce over dependency on cement particularly in Nigeria [7,8,9] RAW MATERIALS PREPARATION…”

Ceramic tiles were produced from a varying mixture of clay and milled glass and the physio-chemical properties of the samples were determined. 0–70% weight milled glass was added to clay mineral. Seven samples were obtained before the clay which serves as binder was not able to hold the mixture together. It was discovered that the porosity of the tiles increased as the percentage weight of the clay material decreased and milled glass increased. Also, the compressive strength of the tiles peaked at sample 5 (60% clay & 40% milled glass). Results obtained showed that samples containing from 30-60% weight of milled glass in proportion with clay percentage had the best formulation properties.
