Prospects for the Development of Building Ceramics Based on Clays and Nickel Slags of Orenburg Region

摘要

This paper discusses the properties of ceramic bricks produced on the basis of the raw material base of the Orenburg region, namely, waste generated during the development of brown coal from the Tyulgansk deposit - white and red clays and nickel slag of JSC Southern Urals Nickel plant of the Orenburg region. Man-made products, namely dumps of nickel slags of non-ferrous metallurgy, is a serious problem from the point of view of environmental pollution, therefore the disposal of this type of waste is relevant. One of the directions of disposal of these wastes is their use as an additive in the manufacture of ceramic products. The study presents data from the study of the technological properties of the raw materials, the development of the composition of the ceramic mixture. The influence of the material composition of the clay / slag mixture on the compressive strength, fire shrinkage, water absorption and density of experimental samples - bricks after calcination at a temperature of 1000 ° C is determined.
