Abstract
The research objective was to assess the possibility of producing ceramic bricks based on low-plasticity clay available in the Vladimir region with the addition of galvanic sludge. The experimental results for studying physical and mechanical properties of ceramic bricks based on the developed composition, including low-plasticity clay of the Suvorotskoye deposit in the Vladimir region and galvanic sludge from the local enterprise, are presented. The following material properties determined according to the standard methods were considered: density, compressive strength, porosity and water absorption. Additionally, the results of material toxicity assessment using the determination method for Daphnia magna Straus mortality under the impact of toxic substances in water extract from the studied ceramic samples are presented. Due to the drastic decrease in strength characteristics and high toxicity of the resulting material, boric acid was introduced into the charge. This component choice is stipulated by the fact that even small amount of boric acid causes the formation of a vitreous phase during firing, thus increasing ceramics density and strength, and simultaneously hindering the heavy metals migration. As a result, strength characteristics were improved for the samples produced with the galvanic sludge introduction, and their toxicity was reduced reaching a satisfactory level. Thus, the developed composition based on the clay and galvanic sludge in the specified quantities with the addition of boric acid as a modifier can produce environmentally friendly high quality ceramic bricks.
