Brownish Green Fired Clay Tiles Produced by Valorizing Green Glass Cullet and Sediment Soil

Abstract:

This paper aims to valorize waste materials for producing eco-friendly fired clay tiles. Green glass cullet and the water supply process waste; sediment soil have been utilized. In addition, local white clay is used to mix with waste materials for promoting the plasticity and easily forming of specimens. The Triaxial diagram has been employed to construct the formulas. Mixture’s formulation of this experiment consists of 23 formulas. Test samples are fired at temperature 950 °C. Physical properties of fired specimens are carried out and compared with Thailand Industrial Standards. The results show that formula A6 can pass TIS. 2508-2555 wall tiles of medium water absorption series. However, A6 only utilize 10% of sediment soil. Therefore, increasing sintering temperature to 1,050 °C for utilizing higher content of sediment soil has been examined. Twelve formulas of group A and C are selected to be further investigated. Results show that formula A6 and C6 can achieve TIS. 2508-2555. Formula C6 utilizing 30% and 60% of sediment soil and green glass cullet obtain the highest strength and lowest water absorption. Analyzing microstructure of this formula by Scanning Electron Microscope has found glassy phases. Furthermore, Wollastonite 2M, Nepheline and Albite are identified by X-Ray Diffractometer. It can be summarized that sediment soil mixed up with green glass cullet and local white clay can develop brownish green color fired clay tiles which can be further applied to the production of local ceramic factory.
