Abstract
Kiln insulated firebricks are being utilized for either face lining or backup insulation in ceramic furnaces. The main characteristics of kiln firebricks are high porosity and lightweight. This paper has focused on the application of oil palm kernel shell sludge as pore former agent, in the production of ceramic kiln insulated firebricks based on the final product demand. Oil palm kernel shell as by-product of the edible oil production process is potential to be reused in the production of kiln firebrick due to its organic matters to increase the porosity of the firebrick. The framework has studied the current situation of the insulated firebrick production based on material and technique of the proposed application.
