By incorporating recycled cellulose paper, these tiles not only contribute to reducing environmental waste but also support a circular economy in the construction industry. The results demonstrate that these eco-friendly tiles exhibit a significant increase in hardness (20 HCR units higher than commercial tiles), a reduced water absorption rate of approximately 13%, and good ignition resistance up to 284 °C, enhancing their durability and fire safety. Advanced analytical techniques, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), confirm the effective integration of cellulose fibers within the tile matrix, leading to a homogeneous chemical distribution.

The mechanism of adsorption was examined using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were used to evaluate adsorbent-adsorbate interactions.
