Abstract
This work has as its objective to evaluate the effect of incorporation of the particulate material of the sintering stage from an integrated steelmaking plant on the physical and mechanical properties of a red ceramic. Formulations with incorporation of the waste up to 20 wt% into a kaolinitic clay and rectangular specimens were prepared by uniaxial mold-press at 20 MPa and then fired at 750°C, 900°C and 1050oC were prepared. The evaluated physical and mechanical properties are: linear shrinkage, water absorption and flexural rupture strength. The results show that the waste enhanced the properties of the ceramic, decreasing the water absorption and increasing the mechanical strength at all investigated temperatures
