URBANREC

Industrial residues may be considered as an economic and environmentally friendly option for the manufacture of ceramic materials for civil and energy engineering. In this work, granite sludge, mussel shells and glass cullet were used to produce a ceramic material that presents high hardness (HV = 5.57 GPa) and fracture toughness values (KIC = 1.78 MPa·m1/2) as well as soft ferrimagnetic behavior. The presence of wollastonite confers characteristics typical of porcelain stoneware (? = 64 N/mm2, WA = 0.361%) to the final products.
