Abstract
In the present work, bricks were made on a real 1:1 scale for the construction of housing. For the preparation of the mixtures, raw materials such as clay, sand and glass obtained from the recycling of brown beer containers were used, applying the method plastic molding for the preparation of the semi-products. It has been established that the addition of sand containing a small amount of montmorillonite to such clay enabled to realization of plastic molding. The incorporation of glass into the clay provided to substantially reduce the sintering time of the bricks up to 8 h and to vary their strength properties. Sintering was carried out at 800 °C in an air atmosphere. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and EDS microanalysis have shown that the raw materials and ceramic bricks contains quartz and feldspars. Low-temperature sintering has made it possible to obtain high-quality, high-strength building bricks in accordance with standards.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society publishes scientific articles and communications describing original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials and glasses. The main interests are on novel generic science and technology establishing the relationships between synthesis, processing microstructure and properties of materials. Papers may deal with ceramics and glasses included in any of the conventional categories: structural, functional, traditional, composites and cultural heritage. The main objective of the Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society is to sustain a high standard research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
