Lightweight aggregates (LWA) were successfully produced both in a pilot-scale rotary kiln and in a laboratory chamber furnace. The mechanical properties of LWA were investigated in detail applying the European standard crushing resistance test (CR-test) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 2 stresses in the centre of the pellet and the strength was observed to increase exponentially with decreasing sample size. The relationship between the CR-and spc-test has been established facilitating "translation" of strength data between the two different test methods.

In an attempt to improve the properties, lightweight aggregates were produced from clay with the addition of Na 2 CO 3 , SiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , and Fe in quantities between 2 and 10 wt% and examined with respect to strength, density and expansion behaviour. The additives were mixed into dry clay powder, water was added and pellets were formed by hand and fired at 1120°C in a chamber furnace. Particle densities of the products ranged from 0.31-0.57 g/cm 3 , porosities from 78-89% and the solid strength from 0,54-1,58 MPa. The addition of Na 2 CO 3 proved to decrease the viscosity of the glass phase at the surface of the pellets but resulted in a 2 reduced expansion, irregular shape and pellets sticking together. SiO 2 addition did not give any major change in properties. The addition of Fe 2 O 3 increased the pore size in the centre of the pellets, however with insignificant change in strength and density. Adding 5 wt% metallic iron powder led to LWA pellets with increased porosity, reduced density, larger pores and low mechanical strength and could be an useful additive in applications where low density is more important than strength.
