| Abstract Scope |
The production of ceramic materials for the construction industry consists of different processes, among which burning can be highlighted. The burning process is primarily responsible for the final properties of the ceramic piece. As it is a gradual process of increasing the temperature, the environment provided by the furnace is essential for the burning to occur in a homogeneous way. Considering the trend of incorporation of waste in ceramics, the objective of this work is to compare the performance of two different furnaces, Hoffman and Caieira, in the production of ceramic pieces incorporated with ornamental rock waste. Physical and chemical characterization tests of the residue and clays were carried out. To evaluate the performance of the pieces burned in each furnace, mechanical resistance, water absorption and linear variation tests were carried out. The results indicated that the pieces burned in the Hoffman furnace have superior properties to the Caieira furnace. |
