Properties of bricks with waste ferrochromium slag and zeolite

Reusing ceramic tile polishing waste in paving block manufacturing

“…To meet these requirements, research on reuse and recycling have been developed, which involves the use of ceramic waste in the manufacture of other ceramic materials or in the manufacture of concrete products. In both cases, the goal is to reduce waste disposal at landfills, reduce consumption of natural resources and reduce environmental impacts throughout the construction production chain, in addition to global cost reduction (Barrera-Díaz et al, 2011;Gencel et al, 2011Gencel et al, , 2012Gencel et al, , 2013Uygunoglu et al, 2012;Martínez-Barrera et al, 2013).…”

Characteristics of fired clay bricks with pumice additive

“…Some different pore-forming materials such as wood saw dust, polymers, leather residues, polystyrene, organic residues, coal dust, powder limestone, paper-making sludge and mineral additives that act by thermal decomposition and volatilization in brick body have been widely used [4,5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Also heat-resistant porous materials such as diatomite, zeolite, vermiculite and perlite have been evaluated in the ceramic brick structures [6,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Ceramic tiles with black pigment made from stainless steel plant dust: Physical properties and long-term leaching behavior of heavy metals

“…Figure 3 shows the physical properties of ceramic tile as a function of sintering temperature with 8% pigment addition, sample preparation pressure of 25 MPa, and 30 min of sintering. It indicates that the volume shrinkage ratio and bulk density of ceramic tile increase with sintering temperature at 1100-1200 ºC, possibly due to vitrification in the presence of alkali oxides (Na 2 O and K 2 O) at elevated sintering temperature, and more melted phases would be formed to fill the pore in the ceramic tiles and therefore make it denser (Gencel et al, 2013). Then the volume shrinkage ratio and bulk density of ceramic tile decrease slightly above 1200 ºC.…”
