Abstract:
The reuse of waste from various activities is fundamental in reducing the environmental impact. The incorporation of waste from the ornamental rock industry in the formulation of ceramic masses benefits both the ceramic industry, which has the potential to increase the performance of its product, and the ornamental rock industry, which generates the waste that finds purpose for its material, thus avoiding discard it. The objective of this work is to characterize and evaluate the incorporation of the diamond wire residue, material from the manufacture of ornamental rocks, for the manufacture of ceramic pieces. The characterization of the soil and the residue was carried out through the granulometry tests, real grain density and chemical analysis. After characterization, the specimens were prepared by extrusion with incorporations of 5,10,15 and 20%, in addition to the reference without incorporating the residue. After burning at 750 ° C, performance evaluation tests were performed. The results obtained indicate a better performance of the ceramic masses prepared with 10% of ornamental rock residue.
