It was developed new ceramics composites with hazardous car production mud (CPM) and galvanic process glass waste with high content of heavy metals. They were applied as valuable components of red ceramics sintered at 700°, 750°, 800°, 850°, 900°, and 950°C to provide flexural resistance of up to 17.6 MPa, water absorption at 950°C 6.53 -10.45%, linear shrinkage – 5.24-6.29%, density 2.7 – 3.2 g/cm³, and dilatation coefficient 5.3 -13.8%. Structure formation studies by the XRD, SEM, EDS, and LAMMA methods demonstrated the synthesis of amorphous glassy material with small inclusion of mullite Al6Si2O13. Car production mud and galvanic process glass waste play the role of the intensifiers of the ceramics’ structures formation processes. The ceramics' leaching and solubility tests by the atomic absorption spectroscopy method showed strong chemical bond of heavy metals of the hazardous raw materials in insoluble structures. According to Brazilian standards, they can be used to produce tiles, bricks, blocks, and similar materials with high environmental eficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
