“…In this regard, in the last years a great number of researches are devoted to the incorporation of different combustion ashes into ceramic bricks in order to valorize a waste and improve the properties of the resultant material according to the standards. Palm oil fuel ash [19], rice husk ash [20,21], sugarcane bagasse ash and rice husk ash [22], municipal solid waste incineration fly ash [23,24], sewage sludge incinerator ash [25,26], olive pomace bottom ash [27], olive pomace fly ash [28,29], and wood ash [30] have been studied. However, the use of olive stone combustion ash to manufacture ceramic materials has not been studied yet.…”

This work evaluates the effect of incorporation of olive stone ash, as secondary raw material, on the properties of fired clay bricks. To this end, three compositions containing 10, 20, and 30 wt% olive stone ash in a mixture of clays (30 wt% red, 30 wt% yellow, and 40 wt% black clay) from Spain were prepared. The raw materials, clay and olive stone ash, were characterized by means of XRD, XRF, SEM-EDS, and TG-TDA analysis. The engineering properties of the press molded specimens fired at 900 ∘ C (4 h) such as linear shrinkage, bulk density, apparent porosity, water absorption, and compressive strength were evaluated. The results indicated that the incorporation of 10 wt% of olive stone ash produced bricks with suitable technological properties, with values of compressive strength of 41.9 MPa but with a reduced bulk density, by almost 4%. By contrast, the incorporation of 20 wt% and 30 wt% sharply increased the water absorption as a consequence of the large amount of open porosity and low mechanical strength presented by these formulations, which do not meet the standards for their use as face bricks. The bricks do not present environmental problems according to the leaching test.

Abstract. The growth of industrialization and development of urban life made an increase in demand for cement, concrete and bricks. Exploitation on the non-renewable natural resources for raw materials will keep increased in order to meet the demands for construction materials. At the same time, the problems regarding the agricultural crop wastes such as rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, palm oil fuel waste and elephant grass has become an important issue nowadays. Consequently, there are many researchers who have been studying the viability of using these agricultural wastes as construction materials to meet the industry demands in order to decrease the current use of non-renewable natural resources. This paper reviewing on how agricultural waste could be utilized as replacement materials for construction activities from various researchers. The idea of using agricultural crop wastes was promoted by studying upon their engineering properties. This paper focusing on the compressive strength of the construction materials containing agricultural crop wastes, which was the common parameter considered by most researcher as required by various standards.

“…There are precedents for the use of biomass ashes in the construction industry, with different biomass ashes being studied for use in cement-based building materials [11]- [15]. The incorporation of the biomass ashes of sugarcane bagasse and rice husk [16], wood ashes [17] and olive pomace [18], in the manufacture of clay bricks has also been investigated.…”

Biomass-energy processes are those used to obtain energy by the burning or biochemical converting of any organic matter to be used for fuel. In recent years, some materials used as a source for biomass energy have been obtained from the discards of agricultural activities. These include wood, sawdust, corn, sugarcane and rice husks, among others. The processes for converting biomass into energy are numerous. The most commonly used are combustion, co-firing process and pyrolysis. The residual endproducts obtained from these processes are highly dependent on the process conditions, especially temperature, pressure and atmosphere. Char and ashes are the most commonly obtained materials. The objective of this work is to analyse the feasibility of reusing these discards of biomass-energy processes, as additions in clay mixtures for the production of ceramic materials for civil construction. For this purpose, charcoal and ashes obtained from various biomasses have been characterized by SEM, EDS, DTA-TGA, XRD, etc. These results, and the determination of the theoretical sintering temperatures by the use of ternary diagrams, lead to the establishment of the feasibility of using these discards in current ceramic industry processes. Charcoal and ashes from sunflower husks, brewery waste and pine sawdust are the materials studied.
