Abstract

Locally produced raw sulphur was used as an impregnant due to its availability at relatively low cost. For both laboratory prepared samples and factory brick, sulphur impregnation at atmospheric pressure produces significant improvements in water absorption, compressive strength and most physical properties. Simple equations were developed, from which the sulphur loading required for any desired water absorption of the treated brick can be predicted accurately if the initial water absorption value of the sample is known.
