“…In a different context, the effect of adding two types of waste that were rice husk ash and ceramic sludge as a partial replacement of clay was studied by Subashi De Silva et al [6]. They found that the mixture containing 10% rice husk ash and 10% ceramic sludge has breaking strength of 1519 N and reduces the temperature by 4.4 °C compared to the conventional tile.…”

Most of the research of building materials companies at present focuses on recycling waste to minimize the cost of their products and for the safe disposal of these wastes. In this work, the by-pass cement kiln dust (BCKD), the dust that is discarded from the kiln system was used for the preparation of roof tiles. It is partially used to substitute clay in percentages from 5 % up to 25 %. to prepare roof tiles abiding by ASTM C1167 for two objectives, the safe disposal of waste and the production of low-cost roof tiles. The raw materials were assessed by particle size analysis, XRD, and XRF. The mud was poured into moulds with dimensions of 150 * 30 * 25 mm3 and pressed under a pressure of 10 MPa then dried. The dried samples were fired to temperatures 1000, 1100, and 1150℃ with a soaking time of one hour for each temperature. The linear firing shrinkage, water absorption, bulk density, and breaking strength were measured to determine the properties of the fired specimens. The initial rate of absorption and runoff properties were also determined for the optimal samples. The results showed that samples containing 8% and 12% of BCKD waste that fired at 1100°C and 1150°C had cold water absorption of 14% and a saturation coefficient of 0.85, both of which were below the maximum values of the standard limits. Furthermore, the measured breaking strength of about 2700 N was much higher than the necessary minimum value. The results showed that samples met the requirements of ASTM 1167 for clay-type roof tiles containing 8% BCKD waste and fired to 1100℃. For economic and environmental benefits, 1100℃ firing temperature is recommended than 1150℃. The initial rate of absorption was found to be 2.8 kg.m-2 and the runoff properties were found to be 0.02 mg.L-1, 7.53, 110.5 mg.L-1 for total dissolved solids, pH and total solids respectively.
