Weather Resistance Properties of Sintered Clay Body Mixed with Sewage Sludge

Abstract

Weather resistance properties of the sintered clay body (SCB) mixed with various content of sewage sludge incineration ash (SSIA) has been investigated. The result indicates that the water absorption ratio of SCB mixed with SSIA increased linearly with the increase of the content of SSIA, while the saturation coefficient remained constant. After the freeze-thaw cycles, the SCB body mixed with SSIA showed a stable and smooth appearance. From the SEM results, the internal porosity and pore size of SCB raised significantly with the increase of content of SSIA.
