Abstract

The heat-transmuted solid wastes of opalescent structures can be pulverised and recycled entirely for highly developed products. Hence, the objective of this paper was to investigate the feasibility of utilizing pulverised ceramic wastes (CWs) as a potential admixture for fired clay-brick derivative at 950oC with partial substitution at an equal ratio of clay (CL) and kaolin (KL) for water absorption rate and compressive strength test during loading. Several appropriate standard technics were employed. Results revealed that the sole compaction of ceramic wastes (Cs0) has the lowest strength density of 1.21MPa, compared with the progressive linear density of specimens with the addition of clay compositions as stabilizers. Sp10 has a higher resistance of 2.39MPa during compressive loading and a decrease in the quantities of ceramic wastes from Sp11-15 caused a low linear strength but an increase in the water absorption rate. Conclusively, ceramic wastes have a positive effect on clay bricks’ strength and water absorption when equally substituted with clay compositions. The study provides an avenue for solving ceramic waste disposal challenges and unveils the approach to boost the products of waste recycling industries, enhancing technological and economic growth.
