“…The petroleum industry generates various types of oily sludges in its production chain [1]: i) extraction of crude oil from the ground; ii) transportation to refineries and product distribution centers; iii) refining into finished products; and iv) marketing or sale of the products to consumers. These oily sludges are basically composed by hydrocarbons in the form of oil, water, solids, and traces of heavy metals in different proportions according to each area.…”

“…Oily residues are collected at several points within the refinery, such as oil/water separators, dissolved air flotation units, heat exchanger cleanings, and tank bottom cleanings [3]. The use of cement-based stabilization/solidification as a treatment process can restrain the inorganic species mobility.…”

“…The petroleum exploration industry worldwide produces high amounts of waste materials named as oily sludges [1][2][3]. These oily sludges are considered hazardous waste materials and are composed of complex mixtures of hydrocarbons (oil), water, inorganic materials (solids), and traces of heavy metals.…”

Large amounts of waste materials are discarded in the petroleum exploration industry. This work investigates the incorporation of solid petroleum waste (SPW) as a raw material into a clay body, replacing natural clay material by up to 30 wt%. Ceramic pieces were produced at temperatures varying from 700 to 1,100°C. The technological properties of the clay ceramic pieces (e.g., linear shrinkage, apparent density, water absorption, and compressive strength) have been determined. Development of the sintered microstructure was followed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analyses. The leaching toxicity of the fired pieces has also been determined. The results showed that the SPW could be used in clay-based ceramics (clay bricks and roofing tiles), in the range up to 30 wt%, as a partial replacement for natural clay material. The leaching concentrations of Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cr (total), Hg, and Pb of the fired pieces met the Brazilian regulatory requirements. These results suggest that the SPW can be valorized for manufacturing claybased ceramics, and at the same time, this application can help in reducing the environmental impacts of the petroleum exploration industry.
