Abstract
Paper sludge waste is produced on a large scale by the paper industry and causes high environmental impacts. This work investigates the potential of paper sludge waste incorporation as an alternative raw material into a red wall tile formulation, replacing traditional limestone material by up to 5 wt%. Red wall tile pieces containing paper sludge waste were produced by uniaxial dry pressing and fired at 1170 °C using a fast-firing cycle. Technical properties of the fired wall tile pieces have been determined. The development of the fired microstructure was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found a water absorption of 17.15 to 18.31 %, a lexural strength of 15.77 to 16.17 MPa, a linear shrinkage of 2.88 to 3.22 %, and an apparent density of 1.76 to 1.81 g/cm3. Therefore, the results indicated that the paper sludge waste, in the range of up to 5 wt%, can produce red wall tiles (group-BIII in the ISO 13006). At the same time, this application helps minimize the environmental impacts caused by the paper industry.
期刊介绍:
Waste and Resource Management publishes original research and practice papers on all civil engineering and construction related aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the re-use and recycling, to the management and disposal of residual wastes. Associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations and links with sustainable consumption and production are included. The range of subjects covered encompasses, but is not restricted to, strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and re-use, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and, the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.
