The paper considers the existing problems of the production of ceramic products in the territory of the Russian Federation, presents the priority directions of development of this industry. The study includes the determination of the properties of samples based on the raw material base of the Orenburg region, namely, waste generated during the development of brown coal from the Tyulgansk deposit - white and red clays and nickel slag of OJSC Yuzhuralnickel Combine of the Orenburg region. The study presents data from the study of the technological properties of the raw materials, the development of the composition of the ceramic mixture. The influence of the material composition of the clay / slag mixture on the physic mechanical characteristics of the products of the experimental compositions was determined: compressive strength, fire shrinkage, water absorption and density.

The experience of using slime wastes in the production of wall ceramic bricks is considered. The results of the investigation of clayey raw materials in the deposits of the Western Orenburg region and technogenic wastes of the fuel-energy and oil-producing complex are analyzed with an analysis of their effect on the properties of wall ceramics: density, strength, and water absorption. Based on the results of the research, optimal compositions were developed using ash and slag wastes in a composition with aluminosilicate clay raw material - loam. The influence of drill cuttings with an increased content of calcium oxide on the composition and physical and mechanical properties of wall ceramics, the effect of a composition of low-grade local clay raw materials and drill cuttings on the formation of the structure and properties of ceramic materials is shown. The analysis of the volumes of formation of ash-and-slag wastes and drill cuttings is given, which makes it possible to introduce technogenic wastes into secondary production and to expand the mineral and raw materials base for the production of ceramic bricks.

The possibility of using aluminosilicate raw materials and ash and slag waste of thermal power plants in the production of ceramic bricks is considered. The physicochemical processes taking place in the preparation of ceramic materials based on ash and slag waste are studied. In order to accelerate the process of sintering a ceramic material, the possibility of using an additive of sodium silicate lump was investigated. Its influence on the technological properties of ceramics of rational composition was studied and the expediency of introducing this additive into the mixture in the amount of 10% was established. The dependences of fire shrinkage on the amount of ash and slag waste at a firing temperature of 1050 ° C are determined.

The results of the production of wall ceramics based on the composition of low-melting argillaceous raw materials - loam and fuel slag in an amount of 10-30% by the method of semi-dry pressing are presented. Pre-baking and calcining properties of clay materials are investigated, the results of x-ray diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis of the raw materials are given. The results obtained by the method of mathematical planning of the experiment made it possible to develop a model of ceramic bricks of the racial composition, to construct empirical dependencies in the system «technogenic product-technological factor-property» and to establish the influence of the addition of fuel slag on the basic physical and mechanical properties of wall ceramics: strength, density, water absorption , shrinkage. The results of studies of the modifying role of the container glass in the processes of pyrogenic synthesis of clay-slag masses and its effect on the preparation of a ceramic shard of a racial composition with the required properties are shown.
