“…In short, the water retention capacity and the flexural strength of the bricks showed positive changes with the simultaneous addition of fly ash and acidic process waste water into brick material when compared to the standard bricks composed of clay alone. These findings are in a good agreement with the findings of other work in the literature [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Among these studies, for example, Kute and Deodhar [22] showed that the compressive strength of bricks baked at a certain temperature can be improved by 4-5 times for some proportions of fly ash.…”

a b s t r a c tFly ash contains metals such as cadmium, iron, lead, aluminum and zinc in its structure in appreciable amounts. These metals can leach out into surface and ground waters if fly ash is not properly disposed of. A similar problem also exists for acidic process waste waters discharged by numerous industries. The purpose of this study was to utilize such wastes as additives in the production of construction quality bricks for the purpose of waste elimination. The bricks produced were subjected to flexural strength and water retention capacity tests along with heavy metal leaching experiments in order to determine the applicability of the procedure and the best possible recipes. This paper summarizes the results obtained in these tests along with the possible mechanisms involved in stabilizing the two wastes in the brick structure.

“…There is also a large body of work on the utilization of fly ash in cement and brick production [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. These studies mainly focus on the effect of fly ash addition on the structural behaviour of the final products.…”

“…Thus, waste storage causes environmental pollution and economical loss [3][4][5]. There are many studies on the use of marble and boron wastes as additive or filling materials in various applications such as ceramic [6][7][8], concrete [9][10], brick [11], and building materials [12].…”

In this study, usability of marble and boron wastes as alternative raw materials in the production of bricks was investigated. They were used in different ratios to prepare samples. Marble waste in concentrations of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% were added to the boron waste. Afyon brick clay was used as a binder in 10 wt%. Specimens were shaped by hydraulic press and fired at temperatures from 850 to 1050 C for 4 hours. The crystalline structure and morphologies of the samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Flexural strengths of samples were measured. Acceptable mechanical properties have been obtained from the brick sample containing 5 wt% marble waste, 85 wt% boron waste and 10 wt% clay sintered at 1050 C for 4 hours.

“…The construction materials industry has always shown a receptive attitude to research into new materials (Giuseppe & Eduardo 2009;Agarwal & Gulati 2007). In brick production, many research has been implemented in terms of utilization of different waste products (Dominguez & Ullmann 1996;Wiebusch & Seyfried 1997;Lin 2006;Yang et al 2009;Çiçek & Tanrıverdi 2007;Abalı et al 2007).…”

Over 15 million tons of fly ash (FA) and 3 million tons of phosphogypsum (PG) are produced in Turkey every year. The utilization of these industrial by-product materials is important in terms of environmental and economical issues are concerned. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the technical possibilities of incorporating FA and PG in production of building blocks. Various mixtures were prepared by incorporating these industrial wastes by replacing clay with seven different weight proportions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%). All specimens were fired at 1000 • C peak temperature. The physical and mechanical properties of all specimens such as; unit weight, compressive strength, flexural strength, dimensional stability and water absorption values were recorded. The effect of PG incorporation on the properties of samples seems to be more dominant than the effect of FA incorporation. The test results showed that; PG incorporation increased the unit weight and mechanical strength values while lowering the water absorption values. Utilization of these wastes additives is not only for conservation of clay resources, but also an alternative solution to a difficult and expensive waste disposal problems.
