“…S2 sample was characterised by a higher content of total silicon, as compared to sample S1 (analysed by means of XRD test). The comparison between values obtained in this study and results from other researches, where dredged sediments or sludge from aggregate washing plant were analysed [25,5,7], highlighted the same content of total silicon (average value of 55%), a lower content of aluminium oxide (average value of 13%) and a higher content of magnesium oxide (average value of 1.5%).…”

“…Several experimental researches investigated the opportunity to use waste mud or dredged sediments specifically for the production of bricks [4,5,6,7]. Other investigations of mud properties covered the recovery as material for geopolymers production, as containment barrier or protection of groundwater and as wastewater treatment material [8,9,10].…”

Abstract. Waste mud coming from an aggregate washing plant was formerly used as filling material for a pond, aimed at the recovery of an abandoned quarry. Once completed the filling capacity of the pond, the need for identifying a possible reuse of mud produced by the plant arose in order to avoid landfill disposal. Therefore, mud has been geometrically, physically and chemically characterised for its recovery as construction material. A variety of tests was carried out on mud samples as required by EN technical specifications and by Italian environmental standards, focusing particularly on leaching behaviour. The tested material showed satisfactory physical and chemical properties and a release of pollutants below the limits set by the Italian code. Many mix-designs for the production of unfired bricks made of waste mud, sand and straw, stabilised and non-stabilised with lime, gypsum or cement, were developed. The bricks were tested in order to evaluate mechanical properties and leaching behaviour. Mud bricks provided remarkable compressive strength, even if not suitable for structural elements. The use as interior design to minimise humidity changes and to facilitate a thermal insulation is fostered, thus strengthening the so-called green building economy.

“…Due to this ability, bricks have become a popular material in waste management research worldwide and several studies have demonstrated that clay-based bricks and tiles can successfully accommodate waste types, such as incineration ashes, mine tailings and dredged harbour sediments (Chen et al, 2011;Kasuriya et al, 2008;Mezencevova et al, 2012;Roy et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2011). The benefits of waste addition in bricks, which are most often mentioned in the literature, are: 1) conservation of natural resources, e.g.…”

“…A significant amount of Fe 2 O 3 (4.53 wt%) in the dredged sediment may contribute to the reddish color of the fried bricks. The high contents of fluxing oxides, such as MgO, CaO, K 2 O and Na 2 O, could reduce the sintering temperature [12].…”

Abstract-The laboratory-scale study was conducted to assess the feasibility of using dredged sediments from Lumsai canal with rice husks to produce bricks. This study was investigated into three different proportions of dredged sediments with rice husks ranging from 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent (by weight of rice husks or rice straws) as raw materials in producing bricks. The characteristics of the dredged sediments, rice husks, and fired bricks were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The physical-mechanical properties of fired bricks were found to comply with the criteria for bricks (Thai Industrial Standards 77-2545). The obtained results indicated that major chemical compositions of dredged sediments were silica (SiO 2 ) 56.27 percent, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) 11.76 percent and iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) 7.84 percent, and heavy metal contents including Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Mn, Sr, and Ni were lower than the soil quality standard. Results of this study showed that bricks made from dredged sediments with 5 percent of rice husks were suitable as primary raw materials in the production of bricks without harmfulness.Index Terms-Bricks, dredged sediments, rice husks.
